Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of tree removal depends on the tree's size, location, condition, and accessibility. A small tree in an open yard will cost less than a large oak overhanging your roof or tangled in power lines. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Call us at (704) 749-0642 for a personalized quote.

Most deciduous trees benefit from trimming during late winter while they're dormant, typically between December and early March in the Charlotte area. However, deadwood and hazardous limbs can and should be removed any time of year. Some flowering trees have specific pruning windows to avoid affecting blooms. We'll recommend the best timing based on the species on your property.

Yes. Every estimate is free, with no obligation and no pressure. We come to your property, assess the trees, discuss your needs, and provide a clear, written quote. Whether you need tree removal, trimming, or stump grinding, we'll give you a straightforward price with no hidden fees.

Signs that a tree may need removal include a significant lean toward structures, large dead branches in the canopy, mushrooms or fungi growing at the base, deep cracks in the trunk, extensive bark peeling, and root damage. If you're unsure, schedule a tree health assessment and we'll give you an honest evaluation of whether the tree can be saved or should come down.

Absolutely. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This means if anything happens on the job — damage to property or injury to a crew member — you’re protected. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before any work begins. Never hire a tree service that can’t show you current insurance documentation.

Most residential tree removals are completed in a single day, often in just a few hours. Larger or more complex jobs — such as trees near power lines, over structures, or requiring crane assistance — may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline along with your estimate so you know what to expect.

We haul away all wood, branches, and debris as part of the job. If you’d like to keep firewood or larger trunk sections, just let us know and we’ll cut and stack it for you. Wood chips from the chipper can also be left on your property for use as mulch if you’d like.

It depends on the size of the tree and the specific regulations in your area. Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have tree protection ordinances that may require permits for removing trees above a certain diameter, particularly on commercial properties or in certain zoning districts. We can help you determine whether a permit is needed before any work begins.

Stump grinding is the process of using a specialized machine to grind a tree stump down to 6–12 inches below ground level. The resulting wood chips fill the hole, and the area can then be covered with soil and grass seed, or used for new landscaping. It’s the fastest and most effective way to get rid of an old stump.

In many cases, yes — if the problem is caught early enough. Our tree health assessment identifies diseases, pest infestations, and structural problems. Depending on what we find, treatment options may include targeted pruning, fungicide or pesticide applications, soil amendments, or changes to watering practices. Some trees, unfortunately, are too far gone and need to come down for safety.

Most trees in the Charlotte area benefit from professional trimming every 2–3 years. Fast-growing species, trees near structures, and trees near power lines may need attention more frequently. Young trees benefit from formative pruning to develop strong structure. We’ll recommend a schedule based on the specific trees on your property.

Yes. We regularly work with homeowners’ insurance companies on storm damage claims. Our crew provides detailed documentation, photos, and itemized invoices to support your claim. We can also coordinate with insurance adjusters on timing and scope of work. See our storm damage cleanup page for more details.

First, make sure everyone in your household is safe. If there’s structural damage, evacuate if necessary and call 911 if anyone is in danger. Then call us at (704) 749-0642 for emergency tree service. Do not attempt to remove the tree yourself. We’ll remove the tree safely, tarp any roof openings to prevent water damage, and provide documentation for your insurance company.
