Tree removal
Tree removal planned around your home.
Most removals we do are within a few feet of something your family paid for — the roof, the fence, the driveway, the irrigation. The plan for getting the tree down is the part that protects all of it.
Before anything moves
We walk the job before we quote it.
Tree removal in Monroe and Union County, NC usually happens in a family's back yard, not an open field. We look at the tree's condition and lean, what is directly underneath it, how the crew and equipment get in and out of your yard, and where the wood and brush will be stacked before it leaves. That walkthrough becomes the written scope you approve.
Condition and load
Decay at the base, splits, deadwood, storm loading and lean all change how the tree has to come apart. A hazardous tree gets sequenced differently than a healthy one being removed for construction or light.
Targets underneath
Roofline, gutters, fence panels, sheds, decks, septic fields, irrigation heads, garden beds and the neighbor's property. Anything we can move gets moved, anything we cannot gets protected or worked around.
Access and ground
Gate widths, slopes, soft turf and where a chipper or truck can sit. If equipment cannot reach, more of the work is done by climbing and rigging, and we tell you that up front.
The written scope
What is being removed, how it comes down, what happens to the wood and brush, whether the stump is included, and what the site looks like when we leave. No pricing before that assessment.
Tight access means rigging, not dropping
When there is nowhere to fell a tree, it comes down in pieces. Limbs and stem sections are tied off and lowered under control instead of dropped, which is slower and far kinder to whatever is sitting under the tree. Where there is room and the ground can take it, mechanical access shortens the job and reduces the time anyone spends aloft.
- Sectional dismantling on trees close to a structure or fence
- Controlled lowering into a cleared drop zone
- Equipment used where access and ground conditions allow
- Work near utility lines flagged before scheduling, not during the job
What we protect while the tree comes down
The visible result of a good removal is the tree being gone. The result that matters to you is walking outside afterward and finding everything else exactly as you left it that morning.
- Roofs, gutters and siding kept clear of the drop path
- Fence lines, decks and outbuildings protected or worked around
- Irrigation heads and shallow lines noted before equipment moves
- Turf and driveways matted on the routes equipment travels
- Brush chipped and wood handled the way you asked in the scope
- Site raked and blown, with photographs of the finished area
Common questions
What affects the cost of a tree removal?
Size and lean, how close the tree is to the house, fence or driveway, whether equipment can reach it, and whether it has to be lowered in sections instead of felled. We price it after we have stood on the property and looked at it.
How does a removal in a tight backyard work?
The tree comes down in pieces. Limbs and stem sections are tied off and lowered under control, so nothing lands where it should not. It takes longer than felling a tree in an open field, and it is the reason a roof or fence stays intact.
Do you remove trees near power lines?
We look at that during the assessment. Work close to an energized line may need the utility involved first, and we will tell you that instead of working around it.
Is the stump included?
Stump grinding is quoted separately and can be done in the same visit. Tell us whether you want the grindings hauled away or backfilled and we will write it into the scope.
If a tree is already on a structure, touching a power line, or anyone is at risk, contact emergency services and your utility first, then send us the details through storm damage response.
Send us the tree and we will come look at it.
Address, a couple of photos, and anything you already know about the tree. We schedule a site visit, walk the access and targets with you, and put the removal in writing before anything is booked.
