Tree Removal in High Point, NC

Price tracks the tree’s size, how close it is to your house, and how clear the drop zone is. A small open-yard removal is the quickest visit. A 30-to-60-foot tree that needs sectional rigging is the most common. The big or technically difficult jobs (60 ft+, near a structure, or storm-damaged) take the most rigging and the most time. We walk the property, give you a firm written price before anything starts, and what we quote is what you pay. Call or use the form below for a free estimate on your tree.

Sometimes, sometimes not. The general rule: if a healthy tree comes down on a covered structure (your house, garage, fence, or car), most policies will cover the removal as part of the claim. If the tree is standing and you just want it gone — say it’s dying, or growing too close to the foundation — that’s usually a homeowner expense. We can document the removal with photos, dates, and an itemized invoice if you need to file. If you’re not sure where your situation falls, call your insurer first and ask before we schedule the work.

For trees on your own private property, no — the City of High Point doesn’t require a permit to remove a tree in your yard. The exceptions are when the tree is in the public right-of-way along the street (the city or NCDOT handles those), or if you live inside an HOA that requires Architectural Review Board approval before a removal. Mention your address when you call and we’ll walk through what applies.

Lawn protection is part of how we work. The skid steer rides on the lawn only when it has to, and we lay plywood mats or boards on soft ground to spread the weight. The chipper and dump truck stay on the driveway or street whenever possible. For sectional drops near landscaping, we rig the limbs down piece by piece instead of letting them fall. You’ll see ruts in wet conditions sometimes — we can’t promise zero impact in a thunderstorm — but on a dry day the yard looks the same after as before, minus the tree.

Yes, just let us know when you call. Tell us if you want it cut to firewood length (16-inch rounds is the standard for a wood stove) and stacked, or just left in a pile. There’s no upcharge for either option — it actually saves us a trip to the yard-waste facility. Same goes for the wood chips: if you want a pile of mulch left in your driveway for landscaping use, say so, otherwise we haul it.

Stump grinding is a separate service, usually quoted alongside the removal. It’s optional — some folks keep the stump as a planter or a table base. The advantage of doing it the same day is that the stump grinder is already on the truck, so you save the trip charge of bringing it back out for a second visit.

For High Point, usually same day or next morning. Since the shop is right here, we don’t have to batch your estimate against a route through another town. Call before 2 in the afternoon and we’ll try to swing by that day. If you send a photo of the tree with your number, we can sometimes give you a quote over the phone for the smaller jobs (under 30ft).

All of it. The trunk, the wood rounds, the limbs, the chips, the leaves on the ground from where the tree dropped them, and the scrap bark. We rake the work area when we’re done and run a magnet across the driveway if we ran the chipper there. If a section of fence had to come down to get the truck in, we put it back. If you want any of the wood kept, tell us in advance — otherwise it goes on the truck with everything else.

Yes, we cover the whole Triad. Our service area runs from Archdale and Trinity south of us, west to Winston-Salem and Clemmons, north to Kernersville, and east to Greensboro, with Lexington on the longer routes. Each town has its own dedicated page on our site — check the menu, or call and we’ll tell you straight whether we cover your zip code.

Call us first at (336) 259-8460, then your insurance. We answer through the night. We can tarp the roof to stop water damage, get the tree off safely, and document the whole job with photos and an itemized work order for your claim. We’ve worked with most major insurers in NC and know what they need to approve the work. See our full High Point storm response →
