What you get
We shape the canopy. Your trees stay healthy.
Trimming done to the ANSI A300 standard — the right cuts in the right places, not a chainsaw rush job. Every Triad trimming visit covers the six items below.
-
Canopy Walk + Written Plan
We walk the tree with you and tell you exactly what comes off and why — before any cut. You approve the plan and the price first.
-
Proper Cuts at the Branch Collar
ANSI A300 pruning: no flush cuts, no stubs, no topping. Topping ruins a tree and invites rot — every cut is placed so the tree seals it and holds its shape.
-
Deadwood & Hazard Limbs Removed
Dead, cracked, and rubbing limbs come out first — especially anything hanging over the house, the driveway, or a power drop.
-
Clearance Pruning
Roofline, gutters, chimney, walkways, and the service line to the house — pruned back to safe, sensible clearance.
-
All Brush Chipped & Hauled
Every limb goes through the chipper and leaves with us. We rake and blow the work area before we pull out.
-
One Price, Pay After You Approve
One written number for the whole visit. Walk the yard with us when we’re done, then settle up. Cash, check, or card.

Same-Day Written Quotes
We walk the canopy the day you call
316 Tree Services
Two things most tree crews can't promise.
In a trade full of one-truck operators and "I'll call you back next week" estimates, we built 316 Tree Services on two principles that protect your property and your time.
The 316 Tree Services Promise
Fully insured. Same-day quotes. Every time.
Two things kill homeowner confidence: the fear of getting stuck with damage you didn't cause, and the wait for an estimate that never comes. We fixed both.
Fully Insured, Triad-Wide
Fully insured on every trim. Ask for our certificate before we start; we keep it ready.
Same-Day Quotes
Call us, you'll have a number today. For most trim jobs in High Point, Greensboro, or Winston-Salem we walk the canopy the same day you call.
Locally Owned
A real Triad crew, not a franchise or call-center referral. When you call, you talk to the same guys doing the work.
Heavy Equipment
Climbing rope and rigging, pole saws, chainsaws, dump trailer for haul-off. The right tool for every cut — all owned, all on site.
Clean Job Site
Brush chipped, lawn raked, driveway swept. The spot looks like the tree just got a haircut, not a job site.
Triad-Wide Service
High Point shop. Same crew covers Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and every town between.
What Our Neighbors Say
Real reviews from real Triad homeowners. We’re proud to earn each one.
Walter and his son did a great job cutting my 2 large trees down all the way to the stump. His price was very reasonable and his customer service was great. I will use him again and I will recommend him to friends and colleagues.
I was extremely pleased with the service I received. They cut down several trees and cleared a large section of bushes in my backyard. They were pleasant and efficient and the cost was very reasonable.
Very friendly and courteous. Service was very reasonable. They arrived promptly and did an excellent job and clean up. Highly recommended!

Know what you’re dealing with
What kind of trimming job is yours?
A young dogwood shape-up is a completely different job than a full crown clean on a 60-foot oak. Here’s how we size pruning work so you know what you’re getting into before we ever show up.
Cat 01
Light Shape
Under 25 ft · Cosmetic pruning · Single visit
A small ornamental, young shade tree, or any tree under 25 feet. Deadwood and clearance pruning, hand pruners and pole saw, same-morning completion. Common for crape myrtles, dogwoods, and formative pruning on young oaks and maples.
- Tree under 25 ft tall
- Deadwood and clearance pruning
- Hand pruners + pole saw
- Same-morning completion
- All clippings hauled off
Cat 02
Crown Clean
25 to 60 ft · Full crown pruning · Structural cleanup
The most common trim job. A mature tree in a residential yard. Full crown clean — deadwood out, crossing branches pruned, structural defects cut, canopy thinned where it needs it. Climber on rope, half a day on site.
- Tree 25 to 60 ft tall
- Full crown clean + structural pruning
- Deadwood and crossing branches removed
- Climber-on-rope rigging

Tree Trimming FAQ
The questions we hear most often before a quote. If yours isn’t here, call us — we’ll answer in plain language.
How much does tree trimming cost?
Small ornamentals are on the low end. Mature hardwoods with a full crown clean or hazard work over a roof are on the high end. Cost scales with crown size, access, and how much rigging the job takes. Free same-day quote is the only honest way to give you a number.
How often should I have my trees trimmed?
Mature hardwoods every 3–5 years for a full crown clean. Deadwood-only passes annually if the tree is over a structure. Young shade trees every 1–2 years for formative pruning to set good structure long-term. Over-pruning stresses the tree — more often isn’t better.
What’s the difference between crown clean, thinning, and reduction?
Crown clean: deadwood and crossing branches out, no live-wood removal. Thinning: selective live-branch removal to reduce wind load and improve light penetration. Reduction: shortening the canopy by cutting back to lateral branches, used when a tree’s outgrown its spot.
Do I need to be home when you trim?
Usually not. We confirm the full scope in a written quote first, so once you approve it the crew can do the work whether you’re home or not. We send photos when the job’s done, and you pay after you’ve seen the finished work.
What’s the best time of year to trim?
Late winter through early spring is best for most species — dormant season, no leaves to obscure structure, cleaner cuts that close before the growing season. Oaks are the exception: they shouldn’t be pruned April through July because the open cuts attract beetles that spread oak wilt.
Will trimming damage my tree?
Done right, no. We follow ANSI A300 on every limb — clean cuts at the branch collar, no flush cuts, no stub cuts, no topping. Done wrong, pruning absolutely can damage a tree, which is why we won’t take a chainsaw to a job that calls for hand pruners and why we won’t top a tree even when a customer asks us to.
Can I keep the wood chips?
Sure. If you want chips left on-site for mulch, just tell us before we start and we’ll dump them where you want them — around beds, behind a shed, wherever. Otherwise everything goes with us when we leave.
Refer a friend and you both get $50. Plus discounts for seniors, military & first responders.
