How much does tree removal cost in Winston-Salem?

Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?
In most residential cases inside Winston-Salem you do not need a permit for trees on your private property, but rules vary by HOA and municipality. We're happy to help you check before we begin.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency response for storm damage and hazardous trees. In most cases, a crew can be on-site within 1–3 hours anywhere in the Triad.
Will you grind the stump after removing a tree?
Stump grinding is offered as an add-on or stand-alone service. We grind 8–12 inches below grade and can backfill with the resulting mulch or with clean topsoil.
Do you clean up after the work is done?
Always. Full cleanup is included in every job — we haul away wood and brush, blow off driveways and walkways, and rake the lawn. You should barely know we were there.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville, Clemmons, and 25+ nearby cities throughout the Triad. See our Areas page for the full list.
