Professional Tree Cutting Service

You know that tree needs to come down. Maybe it’s leaning toward your house after the last storm, or those branches are scraping your roof every time the wind picks up. Whatever brought you here, you’re dealing with something that could turn expensive fast if it’s not handled right.

When we’re done, you’ll have your yard back without the constant worry. No more looking out the window during storms wondering if tonight’s the night that tree comes down on its own terms. No debris scattered across your property for weeks. No wondering if you hired someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

The difference is simple: you get professionals who show up with the right equipment, handle the permits, and leave your property cleaner than when we arrived. Your neighbors will ask who did the work because it looks like the tree was never there.

Tree Removal Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a free estimate where we assess the tree, discuss your concerns, and explain exactly what needs to happen. No surprises, no pressure, just straight information about the job and what it costs.

On removal day, we arrive with all necessary equipment and handle any required permits. Our arborists carefully section the tree to avoid damage to your home, landscaping, or neighboring properties. We use proper rigging techniques and safety protocols throughout the entire process.

Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra charge. We haul away all debris, grind the stump if requested, and leave your property ready for whatever comes next. Most clients are surprised by how clean the site looks when we’re finished.

How much does tree removal cost in Oak Island?

Tree removal costs vary based on size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,000-3,000 or more. We provide free estimates that break down all costs including removal, cleanup, and disposal. Factors affecting price include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings, access for equipment, and whether stump grinding is needed. Emergency removals may cost more due to urgent scheduling and potential hazardous conditions.

Do I need a permit to remove trees on my property?

Oak Island has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you need permits for removing healthy trees over certain sizes, but dead or hazardous trees may be exempt. We handle permit applications as part of our service since we know local requirements and have established relationships with municipal offices. The permit process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the situation. We’ll let you know upfront if permits are required and factor that timeline into scheduling your removal.

What happens to the tree after it's cut down?

Complete debris removal is included in our service. We cut trees into manageable sections, load everything onto our trucks, and haul it to appropriate disposal facilities. Larger logs may go to sawmills, while branches and smaller pieces go to composting facilities or biomass processing centers. We don’t leave brush piles or expect you to deal with disposal. Stump grinding is available as an add-on service, and we can either remove the wood chips or spread them as mulch in your landscaping if you prefer.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on size and complexity. Small trees in open areas might be done in an hour, while large trees near structures require careful sectioning that takes most of a day. Complex jobs involving multiple trees, difficult access, or coordination with utility companies may take several days. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate. Weather can affect scheduling, especially for larger removals where wind conditions matter for safety. Emergency removals get prioritized and often happen within 24-48 hours.

Is tree removal covered by homeowners insurance?

Insurance typically covers tree removal when the tree damages your home, other structures, or blocks access to your property due to storms or other covered events. However, insurance usually won’t pay for removing trees that are simply dead, diseased, or pose potential future risks. We provide detailed documentation and photos that insurance companies require for claims processing. If a tree falls due to storm damage, contact your insurance company first, then call us for emergency removal. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and understand what documentation they need.

Can you remove trees near power lines or my house?

Yes, but these situations require extra planning and specialized techniques. For trees near power lines, we coordinate with utility companies who may need to temporarily shut off power for safety. Trees close to structures require careful sectioning and rigging to prevent damage during removal. Our arborists are trained in these techniques and carry insurance specifically covering this type of work. We use ropes, pulleys, and controlled lowering systems to manage how tree sections come down. These jobs take longer but are handled safely by experienced professionals who do this type of complex removal regularly.
