Tree Service in Lexington, NC

Yes. We’re fully insured, with current coverage. We can email a Certificate of Insurance to you or your HOA before we start work. Just ask when you call.

Yes. Inside Lexington city limits the power is Lexington Utilities, city-owned, so their right-of-way crew handles the primary wire feeding the neighborhood. Anything between their pole and your meter, plus your cable, phone, and internet drops, is the homeowner’s responsibility. Out in the rest of Davidson County it’s usually EnergyUnited or Duke, and the same split applies — they handle the main wire, you handle the lateral. We do that work carefully either way. If a limb is touching a live wire or arcing, call the utility first to drop power to your service, then call us to do the cut. We won’t touch a live line.

Every quote is free, anywhere in Lexington or the rest of Davidson County we cover. Yes, the drive from our High Point shop is longer than what we make for our other towns, and no, there’s no fuel surcharge built into the price to make it your problem. A clearance trim on a pecan along East Center Street gets the same in-person look as a takedown out toward Cotton Grove Road. Stump grinding is the one exception, since we can usually quote by phone if you send a photo with something for scale.

For routine work, usually within 3 to 5 business days. Lexington is about twenty minutes south of our High Point shop down US-52, so we batch Lexington jobs on the same day when we can to make the route work for everyone. That sometimes means waiting a day or two longer than a Trinity or Archdale customer would. For storm damage or anything blocking a driveway or hanging over a roof, that batching goes out the window — we get a crew rolling the same day, often within the hour.

Yes. If a tree is on your house, your car, or a power line anywhere in Lexington, call (336) 259-8460 any time. We answer through the night. Pecans are brittle by nature and a single summer squall can shear off limbs that looked perfectly fine the day before, so we’re used to the after-storm calls and our trucks are loaded for it.

It depends mostly on the tree’s size, how close it is to your house, and how technical the rigging gets. A small pine in an open Davidson County yard is on the low end. A 60-foot oak hanging over a roof is on the high end. Mature pecans in the older Lexington neighborhoods land on the heavier side because the wood is dense, the limbs spread wide, and the setbacks between house and street are narrow enough that we usually have to rope sections out one piece at a time from the canopy instead of dropping anything whole.

Yes. Standard cleanup is included. We haul off the wood and big debris, rake up the small stuff, and run a magnet over the driveway if we used the chipper there. If you want the wood left for firewood, just let us know.

Stump grinding is a separate service that we usually quote alongside the removal. It’s optional. Some folks keep the stump as a planter or table base. Pecan stumps in particular grow wide root flares, so grinding the same day we drop the tree usually saves money and time over coming back for a second visit down US-52.

In Lexington and the rest of Davidson County, you don’t need a permit to take down a tree on your own private property. There’s no historic-district tree ordinance like Winston-Salem’s Old Salem area. The one situation worth checking is if the tree is in the road right-of-way along your street, which the city or NCDOT handles depending on the road. Mention your address when you call and we’ll let you know if anything special applies, plus handle any paperwork if it’s needed.

Call us first, then your insurance. We can tarp the roof, get the tree off safely, and document everything for your claim. We’ve worked with most major insurers in NC and know what they need to approve the work.
