Why Remove a Tree?

  • Dead or Diseased Trees: A dead tree becomes brittle and hazardous. Branches can fall without warning, damaging your home or car.
  • Hazardous Limbs: Large, cracked, or overgrown branches can crack and fall during storms or high winds.
  • Proximity to Power Lines: Branches growing into or near electrical lines create fire and shock hazards.
  • Property Development: Clearing land for construction, landscaping, or improving your yard layout.
  • Storm Damage: Trees split by ice, damaged by high winds, or uprooted by heavy weather.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal

How much does tree removal cost in North Carolina?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree's size, health, location, and accessibility. Small trees (under 30 feet) typically range from $200-$600. Medium trees (30-60 feet) run $600-$1,500. Large or hazardous removals can cost $1,500-$2,500 or more. We always provide a free, written estimate before starting work. Call (252) 808-5539 or request an estimate online.

Is tree removal covered by homeowner's insurance?

If the tree fell due to a covered event (storm, lightning, etc.), your homeowner's insurance may cover removal—typically up to your deductible. If the tree was dead or diseased, you're usually responsible. Check your policy or call your insurer. We can help document the situation for your claim and work with your insurance company.

How long does tree removal take?

Small tree removals (under 30 feet, clear access) typically take 2-4 hours. Larger trees or complex removals near structures can take 4-8 hours or even multiple days. We'll provide a time estimate when we quote the job. Weather and tree condition can affect the timeline.

Do you also remove the stump?

Yes! We offer stump grinding as a separate service. For an additional fee, we'll grind the stump 6-12 inches below grade so you can replant or sod. Or we can remove the stump with a powerful excavator. Many customers do the tree removal now and schedule stump grinding for later. Ask about bundled pricing.

What if the tree is near power lines?

We safely remove trees near power lines. We don't touch the lines—you should never do that. In some cases, we contact the utility company to have power temporarily cut for safety. We use proper rigging and bucket trucks to control every limb. This is exactly what we're trained and insured to handle.
