Same-day response. We'll call you back today with a fair price.
We drop the tree, haul the chips, rake the yard. Every Winston-Salem quote covers the six items below, at the price we name on day one.
Skid steer, chipper, dump truck and trailer, stump grinder. The same trucks that left our shop this morning. No subcontractors.
We don't leave a shin-high stump. The trunk gets cut flush, and stump grinding rolls in same-trip if you want it gone for good.
Plywood mats on soft ground, rigging instead of free-drop near landscaping, magnet across the driveway after we chip. The yard looks like itself again.
Trunk, limbs, rounds, chips, bark, and the leaves on the ground where the tree dropped them. One trip, every job.
We walk the property, measure the job, hand you a firm written number before anything starts. What we quote is what you pay.
No deposit, no upfront pressure. Walk the finished site, then settle up. Cash, check, or major card. Multi-tree discount on the same trip.
No call-out fee, no obligation. One call and you'll know what the removal costs before we ever pull up.
A 25-foot backyard pine is a completely different job than a 70-foot oak leaning toward your house. Here's how we size removals so you know what you're getting into before we ever pull up in Winston-Salem.
A small tree in an open yard, no obstacles. Straight fell or single-rope climb, single drop zone, in and out the same day. Common for dead ornamentals, smaller pines, and yard trees under 30 feet.
The most common removal job. A mid-size tree in a residential yard. Trunk and limbs come down in sections, no major obstacles. Climber-led with full ground crew on site, half a day to a full day.
Ice-storm hazard tulip poplars in Buena Vista, the West End, and Ardmore. The kind where the trunk is compromised but still standing. Section-by-section controlled rigging by experienced climbers. Insurance-claim documentation when it's storm work.
A 70-foot oak takes longer and needs different gear than a 25-foot pine. Height, trunk diameter, and total wood volume all factor in.
An open backyard is fast. A tree wedged between a house and a fence with no clean drop zone is a different job. Sectional takedown, more rigging, more time.
Trees near houses, garages, fences, or vehicles need controlled section-by-section removal. The closer the structure, the slower and more deliberate the work.
Trees touching or near power lines need coordination with the utility and the line de-energized first. Storm-damaged or leaning trees add their own complications.
Two of the biggest reasons a tree job goes sideways: an uninsured crew, or a quote that never shows up. We built 316 Tree Services around solving both.
Fully insured on every removal. Ask for our certificate before we start; we keep it ready. You're never on the hook for a crew working over your roof.
Call us, you'll have a number today. For most removals in Winston-Salem and across the Triad we walk the site the same day you call. The quote is free and firm.
Four steps from "that tree's making me nervous" to a safe, tidy yard.
Tell us what's going on. A few quick details, plus a photo if you have one, is usually enough to get you a price.
We come out the same day when we can. The quote is free, the price is firm, and there's no pressure to book on the spot.
Our insured crew shows up on time with the right equipment and drops the tree safely, no matter how tight the spot.
We haul the wood, rake the yard, and leave your property cleaner than we found it before we pull out of the driveway.

Big removals around West End and the older Buena Vista lots, plus ice-storm hazard takedowns on mature tulip poplars. If a tree is leaning over a neighbor's roof, we've handled that exact job a few dozen times here.
Call (336) 259-8460This is home. The trucks live in this yard and most of our crew lives here, so a Winston-Salem run is a regular trip up I-40. No drive time we can't be straight about in your quote.
Call (336) 259-8460From Fisher Park and Sunset Hills to the newer builds past Friendly Center. Storm-hit oak removals and big takedowns near rooflines are what we get called for most here.
Greensboro tree removalA short hop from our High Point shop, so we can usually be out for a free removal estimate the same day you call. Shade-tree takedowns off NC-66 have been steady this year.
Kernersville tree removalPractically our backyard. Same-day storm response and full removals on properties off Finch Farm Road are all part of the week.
Trinity tree removalMostly removals and debris cleanup after summer storms. We know which streets our crew can roll down without losing a mirror to a low limb.
Archdale tree removalA bit of a drive, but worth it. We've built a steady following here for clean removals on mature hardwoods. Free estimate and no fuel surcharge, even at this distance.
Clemmons tree removalSome of the biggest old-growth trees in our service area, so removals here often need the bigger rig. We handle the permits and city notifications when one needs to come down near a road.
Lexington tree removalNot on the list? Give us a call. We cover most of the Piedmont. (336) 259-8460
Winston-Salem is about twenty miles up I-40 from the High Point shop, twenty-five minutes northwest. It isn't a quick stop for us, but it's one of the most-treed cities we work in, so we're up there a lot. The bread-and-butter on the east side is mature white oak and tulip poplar — the older streets around Buena Vista, West End, and Ardmore are full of them. The calls that move into the large-or-complex tier usually come after a winter ice storm: a tulip poplar that lost half its crown overnight, the trunk still standing but no longer trustworthy. That's a hazard-tree takedown, not a clean removal, and it's planned differently. We're on most West End and Buena Vista calls inside the hour once we're on the road.
The west side is a different picture. Out around Clemmons and Lewisville — and the Lewisville-Clemmons corridor that connects them — the subdivisions are newer, built on cleared farmland, and the trees skew heavily to loblolly and Virginia pine. Those snap easier in storms, so the work shifts toward land clearing and pine-storm cleanup. One other thing worth flagging: Old Salem has its own historic-district tree-preservation ordinance, with rules about what comes down and what stays. For addresses in or near Old Salem, we'll walk through what applies before we ever quote a price. Anywhere else in Winston-Salem, it's a normal removal job. Need a tree down? Call (336) 259-8460.

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 most Winston-Salem lots, no — removing a tree on your own private property doesn't require a permit. The big exception is Old Salem, where the historic district has its own tree-preservation rules about what comes down and what stays. Trees in the public right-of-way along the street and certain protected species are handled separately by the city. Mention your address when you call and we'll tell you what applies before we ever quote a price.
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 Winston-Salem, usually same day or next morning, though it's the longest haul we make so we batch routes when we can. Call before 2 in the afternoon and we'll try to swing by that day; otherwise it lands the next morning when a crew's already heading up I-40. 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) and skip the trip entirely.
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 from our High Point shop. Common Winston-Salem spillover: Clemmons and Lewisville to the west; Bermuda Run further west; Rural Hall and Walkertown to the north; Kernersville east on the route back toward our shop. Each town has its own dedicated page on our site, or call and we'll tell you straight whether your zip is on the route.
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 Winston-Salem storm response →
