Tree Removal
Removed piece by piece, with nothing dropped on your garden.
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.
What this service is really about.
We treat removal as a last resort. Before we quote one, an arborist confirms whether the tree is dead, structurally failing, or simply in the wrong place, and we will tell you if cabling, pruning or treatment could save it.
Most Asheville lots do not allow a tree to be felled in one piece. Our crews climb and rig sections down on lowering ropes, or bring in a crane for large trees over houses. Every job has a named crew lead who runs a tailgate safety briefing before the first cut.
Removal pricing always includes cleanup. Stump grinding can be added at a bundled rate, and we are happy to leave firewood rounds or mulch for your garden.
How the work unfolds.
The same careful sequence on every job, whether it is one dogwood or a crane day.
Assess and confirm
We verify that removal is the right call and check for permits, utilities and access.
Plan the rigging
The crew lead decides drop zones, lowering points and whether a crane is needed.
Take it down in sections
Limbs and trunk are lowered piece by piece, never dropped onto structures.
Clean up completely
Chips, logs and sawdust are removed and the area is raked and blown.
Why homeowners choose it.
"Two Bradford pears came down in sections over our fence without touching a single plant in my wife's garden. Stumps ground the same afternoon."
Protects your home
Controlled rigging means no swinging limbs near gutters, windows or roofs.
Clear written scope
Your estimate states exactly what is removed, what stays and where wood goes.
Fully insured crews
Certificates of insurance are sent before work starts, on request.
What affects the price.
Starting at $750. Your written estimate spells out every line, and there is never a charge for the estimate itself.
| Factor | What it means | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Size and condition | Dead trees are brittle and need more rigging | Largest single factor |
| Proximity to structures | Over a roof or power line versus open yard | Adds 25 to 60 percent |
| Crane requirement | Large trees behind homes with no drop zone | Crane day rate |
| Stump grinding | Bundled when booked with removal | Save about 20 percent |

Still unsure? Call (828) 555-0129 and ask for an arborist.
Most residential removals do not, but steep slope zones, historic districts and some HOAs require approval. We check your address during the estimate and help with paperwork.
Yes. We lay ground protection mats for equipment, lower wood on ropes and avoid driving on soft turf after rain.
It is your choice: we can cut firewood rounds, leave wood chips for mulch, or haul everything to a local mill and compost yard.
