Professional Tree Removal for Asheville Area Homeowners

Our Tree Removal Process

Our certified arborists handle hazardous trees, storm-damaged trees, and difficult-access removals with advanced equipment and strict safety practices. As a trusted, family-owned tree service, we offer fast response times, clear communication, and thorough cleanup.


Onsite Assessment

Every tree removal project starts with an in-person evaluation, by an experienced arborist. We assess the tree’s health, size, location, as well as proximity to homes, driveways, and utilities to determine the safest and most efficient removal approach. We also take this time to answer any questions, and address any concerns the homeowner may have.


Upfront, Transparent Pricing

After the assessment, we provide a straightforward, easy to understand quote outlining the scope of work, timeline, and any optional services. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we fire up a single chainsaw. No surprises or hidden fees, ever!


Safe Tree Removal

Our crew uses proven and certified techniques like climbing, precision rigging, and crane-assisted removal when needed to ensure safety. Each removal is carefully planned to protect your property, surrounding trees, and landscaping throughout the process.


Cleanup & Extras

Once the tree is removed, we can clean up all debris and leave your property neat and safe. We’ll walk the site with you to ensure everything meets expectations and discuss optional services like stump grinding or landscaping, if desired.

Common Questions About Tree Removal

  • Tree removal costs in Asheville vary based on the tree’s size, condition, and location, but most jobs can range from $400 to $4,000. Hazardous or hard-to-access trees may cost more. We provide free, on-site estimates so you know the exact price before work begins.

  • Some Asheville properties—especially within city limits or steep-slope zones—require a permit for tree removal. Buncombe County rules can vary depending on the property. Our team can help you determine whether a permit is needed and guide you through the process.
