Tree Removal in Charlotte, NC

Safe, efficient removal of trees of any size — from tight backyard spaces to large-scale projects across Mecklenburg County.

Tree Removal in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte's urban canopy is one of the things that makes this city so great, but sometimes a tree needs to come down. Maybe it's dead, leaning toward your roof, or the root system is tearing up your driveway. Whatever the reason, removing a tree safely takes real skill and the right equipment — especially in neighborhoods like Myers Park and Dilworth where homes sit close together and power lines run through the canopy.

Our crew has 10+ years of experience taking down trees in every kind of situation Charlotte throws at us. From massive oaks in Ballantyne to storm-damaged pines in NoDa, we handle removals of any size. We're licensed and insured, and we work carefully to protect your property, your landscaping, and your neighbors' stuff.

If you've got a tree that needs to go, give us a call at (704) 749-0642 for a free estimate. We'll walk the property with you, talk through the best approach, and give you a straightforward price — no surprises.

What We Offer

Our tree removal services cover everything you need for your Charlotte property.

Hazardous Tree Removal

Trees leaning toward structures, tangled in power lines, or showing signs of internal decay get special attention. We use rigging techniques and sectional removal to bring them down safely, even in tight spots common throughout Charlotte's older neighborhoods.

Large Tree Removal

Charlotte is full of mature oaks, poplars, and pines that can reach 80 feet or more. We have the heavy equipment and experience to handle large-scale removals across Mecklenburg County, including crane-assisted jobs when the situation calls for it.

Dead and Dying Tree Removal

Dead trees are unpredictable. Charlotte's summer thunderstorms and the occasional hurricane remnants can bring them crashing down without warning. We prioritize removing dead trees before they become an emergency.

Stump Removal Option

We can grind the stump down below ground level on the same visit, so you're not left with an eyesore in your yard. One crew, one visit, and the whole tree is gone.

Complete Debris Cleanup

When we leave, your property looks better than when we arrived. All wood, branches, and debris are hauled away. We rake the area clean and make sure nothing gets left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about tree removal in Charlotte, NC.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Charlotte?
It depends. Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte have tree ordinances that may require a permit, especially for trees over a certain size or on commercial property. We wrote a full breakdown in our blog post on <a href='/blog/tree-removal-permit-charlotte'>Charlotte tree removal permits</a>. We can also help you figure out what's needed before any work begins.
How much does tree removal cost in Charlotte?
Pricing depends on the tree's size, location, condition, and how easy it is to access. A small tree in an open yard costs less than a large oak hanging over your roof. We break down all the cost factors in our <a href='/blog/tree-removal-cost-charlotte'>tree removal cost guide</a>. We also provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does a tree removal take?
Most residential tree removals in Charlotte are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex jobs — like trees near power lines or over structures — may take a bit longer, but we'll let you know the timeline upfront.
What happens to the wood after removal?
We haul everything away as part of the job. If you'd like to keep the firewood or larger trunk sections, just let us know and we'll cut and stack it for you.
