Every tree service we offer.

Five services is the short answer to what this crew does. The longer answer is that most of the questions people arrive with are not about which service they need, they are about what a job like theirs actually involves, what moves the number, and what to do in the hour after a tree comes down. Those are written out properly here rather than compressed into a sentence on a service page.

Every guide below is written about the trade, sourced where a fact needs a source, and honest about what this crew does not do. None of it replaces somebody standing in your yard looking at your tree, and none of it is trying to.

What Tree Work Costs. Why no honest crew prints a price, what a straight quote should itemize, and why three quotes for the same tree come back different

Crane Removal Cost. What a crane adds to a tree removal quote: where the crane can stand, how many picks the tree takes, the people on site and any power line nearby

Stump Grinding Cost. What moves a stump grinding quote: the diameter, the number of stumps, grinding depth, access for the grinder, surface roots and what hides in or under the wood

Tree Removal Cost. The nine things a crew is weighing while it walks around your tree, each with a direction, so you can read your own yard before anyone quotes it

Tree Trimming Cost. What moves a tree trimming quote: how high the cuts go, how much of the crown comes out, what the limbs hang over, dead wood, the service line and the brush

A Crane Day, in Order. The order of a crane tree removal day, from the look at the tree and the briefing through each pick and the landing zone to the yard coming back

Crane or Climber?. How a tree crew chooses between a crane and a climber with ropes, from what sits beneath the tree to the wood, the weight, the wires and the lot

Dead and Rotten Trunks. Why a crane holds each piece of a dead or rotten trunk before the cut, where decay hides, and what the crane still cannot fix

Tree on a House. How a crane and climbers take a fallen tree's weight off a house, why the order of cuts matters on a roof, and who stays where during the lifts

What a Tree Crane Needs. What a crane needs from a lot before a tree comes down: outriggers on pads, firm ground away from the septic field, the street question and the wires overhead

Emergency or Monday Job?. Three tiers for a storm-damaged tree, plus the published NC State criteria for whether a damaged tree is worth keeping

The First Hour. The order to work in after a tree comes down: people, wires, photographs, access, then the call, with the Davidson County utility numbers

Insurance Claims. How a tree damage claim moves in North Carolina, in the Department of Insurance's own order, from the first call to a disputed settlement, and who decides each step along the way

Tree on a Power Line. Who to call when a tree is on a power line in Davidson County, whose wire is whose from the pole to the meter, and what North Carolina law says about working near the line

Storm Log. A dated record of storms that reached Davidson County, with NWS watch and warning terms, the county's electric providers and what Lexington and Thomasville take at the curb

What Not to Touch. What to leave alone after a storm, from a downed line and anything touching it to bent limbs, hung branches, ladders and chain saws, in the agencies' own words

What to Photograph. What to capture before the saw starts, from the state regulator's own instruction to photograph the damage before any temporary repairs

Forsyth County. Why a tight lot in an older neighborhood changes a removal, what the city will not collect from a contractor's pile, and which ordinance exemptions the joint code actually names

Guilford County. The county holds two cities that publish different answers on tree permits, curbside limits and who owns the wire, and which set covers you depends on the city line

How Far We Travel. Davidson County is everyday work and bigger jobs travel further, with the actual evidence for where the crew has been instead of a map

Mecklenburg County. Charlotte protects native trees of 30 inches and up inside the city limits, which changes what a removal there involves, and the far end of the map earns the bigger jobs

Randolph County. Why ordinary tree work in Randolph County is not a trip, what the Extension count says about its timberland, and which outage numbers the county has

Rowan County. The four outage numbers Rowan County publishes, where a city's responsibility for the wood stops, and the permit chapter that does not reach a house lot

Tree Care Calendar. What the weather and the trees do in Davidson County each month of the year, from freeze dates to storm seasons, pests and pruning windows

Hurricane Season. Why a storm that makes landfall on the coast can still topple trees in the Piedmont, what five named storms did, and what agencies say to do before the season

Ice Storms. Why the Piedmont gets freezing rain, which trees are more likely to break under ice, and what the NC Forest Service, NC State Extension and the Weather Service say to do before, during and after
