Tree Service in Winston Salem, NC

Tree removal in Winston-Salem typically runs $250–$1,500, with most residential jobs landing between $400–$900. The main factors are tree height, trunk diameter, how close it is to your house or power lines, and whether our equipment can get to it easily.

Smaller trees under 30 feet in an open yard sit at the low end. A large water oak or pine near a structure in Ardmore or Buena Vista — where lots run tight — will run higher due to the rigging required. Every quote is free, same-day, and written on site.

Yes — 316 Trees partners with an ISA-certified arborist for jobs where a professional assessment adds value. If you have a tree that needs a health evaluation, a risk assessment before removal, or documentation for a neighbor or insurance dispute, we can bring that expertise to your property.

For most standard removals, trimming, and stump grinding, our crew handles it directly. But when you need the credentials behind the opinion — especially for larger properties in Winston-Salem’s historic neighborhoods — we’ve got that covered. Call us and we’ll tell you whether an arborist consult makes sense for your situation.

We’re based in High Point — about 30 minutes from most of Winston-Salem. For standard jobs, we can usually quote same-day and schedule within a few days. For emergencies — a tree on your house, a blocked driveway, storm damage overnight — we respond as fast as we can get the truck moving.

We cover all of Winston-Salem including Ardmore, Buena Vista, West End, Reynolda Village, Konnoak Hills, and surrounding areas. After-hours emergency calls are answered 24/7 — no surcharge before 10pm.

Tree trimming in Winston-Salem runs $150–$300 for a single small tree and $200–$600+ for larger trees. A typical large tree with debris hauled off runs around $400. When we trim multiple trees in one trip the per-tree cost usually drops — it’s worth asking.

We trim for health (dead, crossing, and diseased branches), clearance (roof lines, gutters, power lines), and storm prep. All debris is chipped on site and hauled off the same trip. All quotes are free.

Yes — full liability coverage on every job, every time. Tree work without insurance is one of the most common traps homeowners fall into in this trade. An uninsured crew damages your fence, roof, or a neighbor’s property — and suddenly it’s your problem.

Ask us for a certificate of insurance before we start. We keep it ready and will provide it without hesitation. If any tree service you call balks at that request, hang up and call someone else.

It depends on the tree and your property. The City of Winston-Salem has tree ordinances that may apply to trees on certain lot types or in specific zoning areas — particularly for commercial properties or protected tree species. Most standard residential removals in Winston-Salem do not require a permit, but it’s worth confirming for your specific address.

When in doubt, contact the City of Winston-Salem’s Urban Forestry division, or call us — we can tell you based on the job what we’ve seen in your area. We never start work that would put you in a compliance issue.

Yes — 24/7, including nights and weekends. When a storm comes through and drops a tree on your car or punches through your roof, speed and insurance matter more than anything else. We’re both.

We respond to storm damage across all of Winston-Salem and the Triad. We charge standard rates before 10pm. After 10pm, premium rates apply — but we’ll always tell you upfront. We also work with homeowners navigating insurance claims and can document the damage on site. Call us first — we’ll handle the rest.
