Tree services, done the arborist way.

Eight services, each led by an ISA certified arborist and quoted in writing after we have walked your property.

Arborist working high in a tree canopy

Tree care

Keep healthy trees healthy, and catch problems while they are still small.

Trimming & Pruning

Thoughtful pruning that strengthens structure, lets light into your garden and keeps limbs clear of roofs and lines, without topping or lion-tailing.

  • Pre-work walk-through with an ISA Certified Arborist
  • Crown cleaning: dead, diseased and crossing limbs
  • Clearance pruning for roofs, driveways and service drops

Arborist Assessment

  • On-site visit with a TRAQ-qualified arborist
  • Visual and sounding inspection, resistance drilling when needed
  • Species, size and condition inventory

Plant Health Care

Seasonal programs that build soil, protect hemlocks from woolly adelgid and treat only when monitoring shows a real problem.

  • Soil testing and nutrient recommendations
  • Air-spade root collar excavation
  • Hemlock woolly adelgid systemic treatment

Starting at$145 per visit

Removal

When a tree has to go, we take it down in controlled sections and clean up completely.

Tree Removal

When a tree truly has to come down, we take it apart in controlled sections with rigging and a crane when needed, then leave the site cleaner than we found it.

  • Hazard and permit check (Asheville steep slope and HOA rules)
  • Sectional rigging or crane-assisted removal
  • Ground protection mats for lawns and driveways

Stump Grinding

Compact grinders reach backyard stumps through narrow gates, then we backfill with the grindings or topsoil so you can replant or seed.

  • NC 811 utility locate before work
  • Grinding 8 to 12 inches below grade
  • Surface root chase up to 3 ft from the stump

Emergency Storm Response

When a tree comes down on a roof, car or driveway, our on-call crew stabilizes the scene, removes the weight safely and documents everything for your insurer.

  • Storm line answered by a person 24/7
  • Hazard check and utility coordination
  • Crane or rigging removal from structures

Specialty work

Support systems and land work for heritage trees and wooded mountain lots.

Land Clearing

Selective lot clearing that keeps your best specimen trees, protects steep slopes from erosion and turns brush into mulch on site.

  • Walk-through to tag keeper trees
  • Selective removal of understory and invasives
  • Forestry mulching of brush on site

Starting at$1,850 per day

Cabling & Bracing

Flexible cables and through-bolts reduce stress on split-prone unions, so a heritage oak or old sugar maple can stay safely in your landscape.

  • Structural assessment of unions and decay
  • Dynamic or static cable installation
  • Through-rod bracing for split unions

What shapes the price of tree work.

No two trees are the same, so we quote after a site visit. These are the factors that move a number up or down.

Year in the canopy

A year in the life of your trees.

Mountain seasons set the schedule. Here is what we do, and what to watch for, as the year turns.

Spring trees in the Blue Ridge landscape

March to May

Spring care

Leaf-out reveals what winter hid. It is the best time to spot dead limbs and start plant health programs.

  • Inspect for winter storm damage and hanging limbs
  • Begin hemlock woolly adelgid treatments as soils warm
  • Soil testing and compost top-dressing
  • Plant bare-root and container natives before heat arrives
  • Avoid pruning oaks from April onward (oak wilt season)

Watch for: Dogwood anthracnose on lower leaves after wet weeks

Questions about estimates.

More answers on our full FAQ page.

Yes. Estimates for pruning, removal, stump grinding and clearing are free within our service area. Formal written risk assessments and reports are a paid service, credited toward work booked within 60 days.

Most estimates are scheduled within 3 to 5 business days. Hazard concerns are prioritized, and storm damage goes to our 24/7 emergency line.

Not always. If we can access the trees, we can walk the property, mark the work with ribbon and send a photo estimate. For complex work we prefer to meet you.

By tree size, access, what sits underneath, equipment needed and cleanup. Every estimate lists the scope in writing so you can compare apples to apples.
