Tree Removal in Greensboro, NC

Tree removal in Greensboro typically runs $250–$3,500. Small trees under 30 feet in open yards (think backyard pines in Adams Farm or Sedgefield) are $250–$500. Mid-size 30–60 foot trees in residential settings — common on the mature lots in Irving Park, Sunset Hills, and Fisher Park — run $500–$1,500. Large or complex jobs over 60 feet, with tight access or hanging over a roof, start at $1,500.

Older neighborhoods like Irving Park and Fisher Park often have the biggest trees and the trickiest removals — those usually land in the mid-to-high tier. Every quote is free — same-day site visit, written number, no obligation.

About 25 minutes from our base in High Point to most Greensboro addresses. Quotes typically happen same-day. Removals get scheduled within a few days — sometimes sooner if the route lines up with other Greensboro jobs.

For storm damage or emergency tree removal in Greensboro, we respond as fast as we can get the F750 and Bobcat loaded. Call (336) 259-8460 and we’ll give you a real arrival window.

Yes — these are exactly the jobs our equipment was built for. Older Greensboro neighborhoods have mature canopies, narrow side yards, ornamental landscaping, and houses close to property lines. Standard “drop and cut” doesn’t work there.

We section trees down piece by piece with controlled rigging. The John Deere 325 wheeled skid steer fits tight residential access without scarring lawns. Flower beds, fences, irrigation lines stay protected.

If another crew quoted you and walked away — give us a call. Tight removals are our specialty.

For most trees on your own residential property in Greensboro — no permit needed. You can remove a tree from your yard whenever you want.

Exceptions: trees in the right-of-way (between sidewalk and street) are city-owned and require permission. Some Greensboro HOA-restricted communities and historic district properties (parts of Fisher Park, College Hill) may have additional rules. Commercial properties often have tree-replacement requirements.

If you’re not sure, call Greensboro’s Planning & Inspections department first — we can wait while you check. We’ll flag anything that looks like it needs city approval before we start work.

Yes — and most Greensboro removals fall into this category. Greensboro lots tend to have houses set close together with overhead utilities running along property lines. A tree hanging over your roof or wedged near a Duke Energy line is exactly why we own rigging gear and a bucket truck.

We section trees down piece by piece using controlled lowering. Nothing hits the ground if it shouldn’t. For trees near active power lines, we coordinate with Duke Energy when needed.

Yes — stump grinding is a common add-on to Greensboro removals. We run a Vermeer SC252, which fits through a 36-inch gate (handy for the fenced backyards common in Lindley Park and Sunset Hills) and drops stumps 12 inches below grade so you can replant grass, sod over the spot, or build over it.

Adding stump grinding to a removal is cheaper than booking separately — we’re already on site, so you save the trip fee. Mention it when you call and we’ll quote both at once.

Yes — full liability coverage on every removal across the Triad. Tree work without insurance is one of the biggest risks in this trade. We carry coverage that protects your property and the crew. Ask for our certificate of insurance and we’ll provide it before any work begins.

If a Greensboro tree service ever pushes back on that request, hire someone else.

Your choice. Default is we haul everything off — brush chipped, logs loaded into the F750 dump truck, chips taken away. Your yard looks better than when we showed up.

Want the wood left for firewood? Just say so — we’ll cut to length and stack it. Want chips left as mulch for your beds? We’ll spread them.
