Tree Service
in Hampstead, NC

What does a tree cost to take down?

Most removals run $1,500–$3,500, and my minimum on any removal is $800. Stump grinding is $7 per inch of diameter, $200 minimum. What moves the price is how close the tree is to the house and whether the lift can reach it — not just how tall it is.

See the full price list, including the pine sizes I get asked about most.

Can you get into a tight backyard?

Yes — my equipment fits through a 36-inch gate. That is the whole reason I bought it that size. It means I can get a machine into a fenced yard, a narrow side run between a house and a fence, or a back lot a truck will never reach, instead of telling you the fence has to come down first.

What do you actually do?

Tree removal, trimming, stump grinding and storm work, for homes and for businesses. Removal and grinding are the same crew on the same visit, so you are not waiting on a second outfit to come finish the job.

• Tree removal — How a removal runs, what it costs, and getting into tight yards.
• Tree trimming — Cutting limbs back off roofs, driveways and fence lines.
• Stump grinding — Priced by the inch, ground well below grade and levelled off.
• Storm cleanup — Clearing what the wind knocked down once the weather passes.
• Tight-space and backyard removal — Fenced backyards and the gap between houses — the gear fits a 36-inch gate.
• Tree removal near the house — Trees against the roof, taken down in pieces and lowered rather than dropped.
• Residential tree service — Everything I do in a yard, from one limb to the whole tree and the stump.
• Commercial tree service — Tree work and lot clearing for commercial properties, HOAs and other contractors, priced by the job, with rates for steady work.

What happens when a tree comes down at night?

Call and someone picks up — open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, weekends and holidays included. Emergency work runs $6,000–$15,000+, because the tree is usually already on something and the pieces have to come off in an order that does not make it worse.

Why me?

I try to treat your yard like it is mine. There is a crew of four of us, we are fully insured, the estimate is free, and I will tell you straight if a tree does not need to come down. There are discounts for seniors, for military, for more than one stump at the same address, and special rates for contractors and tree companies with steady work.

I'm a man of faith, and I try to run this business the way I would want to be treated. I'd love to be your tree guy.

Questions I get asked

Do you really answer the phone 24 hours a day?

Yes — open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A tree doesn't wait for business hours, so if one comes down on your house, call whatever the hour and you'll get me or one of my crew, not a machine.

What does tree removal cost around Hampstead?

Most removals land between $1,500–$3,500, and my minimum for any removal is $800. A big one runs $3,500–$6,000, and a tree tight against the house runs $6,000–$8,000 because it has to come down in pieces.

Can you get into a fenced backyard?

Yes — my equipment fits through a 36-inch gate. That's the whole reason I bought it that size, so a back fence doesn't turn into part of the job.

Do you grind the stump too, or is that someone else?

Same crew, same visit. Stump grinding is $7 per inch of diameter with a $200 minimum, and I grind up to 12 inches below grade so you can put grass over it.

Are you insured?

Yes, I'm fully insured, and I'll give you a free estimate before any work starts.

What towns do you work in?

Hampstead, Wilmington, Jacksonville, Surf City, Sneads Ferry, Holly Ridge, Rocky Point, Burgaw, Topsail Beach, Scotts Hill / Porters Neck — across Pender County, New Hanover County, Onslow County. I live here in Hampstead, so most days I'm not far from you.
