Tree Health Care Services

Tree removal – especially of large trees that are near structures – should only be removed by certified professionals. Attempting DIY tree removal can lead to property damage, serious injury, and even death.

No. Topping is harmful to trees and often leads to long-term problems. We follow industry best practices to preserve tree health and structural integrity.

Nope. As long as we’ve reviewed the plan ahead of time and have access to the work area, you don’t need to be home.

ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Certification means we’ve met industry standards for knowledge, safety, and professional conduct. Our arborists stay up to date on the latest research and best practices in tree care.

Generally, you will need to take care of getting HOA approval per the guidelines of your specific HOA. We are happy to help streamline this process by writing our quote to highlight any requirements or specific parameters your HOA will ask to see. Permits for residential tree work are rarely required, but we can assist in the event that you need one.

We aim to provide fast response times and flexible scheduling, especially for hazardous or emergency removals. Give us a call, and we’ll get you scheduled.

Look for discolored, damaged, or wilting leaves, unusual growths, visible fungi, sudden leaf drop, dead branches, insect infestations, or cracks/cavities in the trunk or limbs. Changes in growth patterns or overall vitality can also be indicators.

For most mature trees, an annual inspection is recommended. Younger or newly planted trees may benefit from more frequent checks in their first few years. If you notice any concerning symptoms, call us immediately.

The cost varies depending on the tree’s size, condition, and the specific treatments required. Preventative care is often more cost-effective than emergency treatments. We provide transparent, personalized quotes and discuss all options. Our ongoing monitoring programs can help prevent costly issues and provide long-term peace of mind.

Absolutely! As part of our planting service, we’ll help you select the right tree species for your soil type, climate, and sun exposure. We provide expert recommendations for native and suitable species that will thrive in the Chapel Hill area.

Yes, we can make a treatment plan that is safe for your pets, children, and pollinators. When we make a treatment plan, our goal is to find the least toxic option that will still be effective, inform you of any safety information or instructions, and then minimize risks with targeted application. Many of our treatments are injected under the soil or directly into the tree to avoid unnecessary exposure.

To ensure pets and children are safe, for some treatments we advise that you keep them away from the application area for a few hours. In some cases, we may time a treatment to avoid flower blooming, or will remove flower heads from nearby landscaping plants to protect pollinators.

We care for a wide range of native and ornamental trees found in North Carolina, including oaks, maples, hickories, ashes, pines, magnolias, sycamores, sweet gums, and more.
