Tree Removal in Central North Carolina: Key Considerations

Removing trees in Central North Carolina involves a lot of considerations that don’t apply in some other areas of the country. For example, arborists working in our region must think about:

Red Clay Can Create Problems

The dense red clay that’s common to our region often retains moisture and drains slowly, which can cause tree stability problems during rainy weather. We specialize in the removal of these unstable trees and can respond quickly to keep your home, family, and property safe.

Frequent Storms

From ice storms to hurricane-force winds, severe weather is common in North Carolina and often inflicts significant damage to our local canopy. We provide expert removal services for storm-damaged trees, whether they’ve suffered crown damage, trunk cracks, or snapped roots.

Local Tree Ordinances

From the strict tree-protection rules in Chapel Hill to the specific permitting requirements in Raleigh’s historic districts, navigating the red tape surrounding removals can be a headache. We know the local permit requirements well and will help you obtain any that are needed.

Because we’re locally owned and operated, we are familiar with the kinds of challenges North Carolina trees face and have the experience needed to overcome them.

The Lubbers & Sons Tree Care Philosophy

Lubbers & Sons Tree Care takes a different approach than many of the other tree-service companies operating in Central North Carolina. We measure success by the number of clients we help and trees we save rather than the number we remove.

In fact, when you trust the Lubbers & Sons Tree Care team, you’ll immediately notice our commitment to:

  • SAFETY: We begin every project with a comprehensive safety briefing, follow ANSI Z133 standards, and take all steps needed to protect our clients, our crew, and the properties we’re working on.
  • EDUCATION: We take the time to educate our clients so they can make informed decisions, while also acquiring the ISA certifications and ongoing training needed to leverage cutting-edge arboricultural advancements.
  • SERVICE: We avoid the one-size-fits-all approach that many other tree services employ and instead develop a custom plan that achieves your goals while also addressing any unusual challenges the job presents.
  • AUTHENTICITY: Despite coming from a variety of backgrounds and taking different routes to the tree-care industry, every member of the Lubbers & Sons Tree Care team shares a true passion for trees.
  • CONSERVATION: We strive to retain every tree possible and support broader ecosystem health through our invasive-species removal services and focus on selecting native species for planting projects.

“To ensure your tree is removed safely and without causing damage to your property, you really need to work with a team of expert arborists you can trust.”

Signs You May Need Tree Removal in Central North Carolina

It’s important to note that we always view removal as a last resort. We love identifying potential mitigation options that’ll eliminate the need to remove a tree.

But with that said, some trees are simply too hazardous to leave standing. Only an ISA-certified arborist can determine whether or not removal is warranted, but there are a few clues you’ll want to watch for, which may indicate your tree is hazardous and requires removal, including:

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Central North Carolina?

The cost of tree removal in Central North Carolina varies, but most jobs fall in the $500 to $4,500 range, though complicated, crane-assisted removals may cost even more.

A few of the factors that play a role in determining the exact costs you’ll face include:

  • The size of the tree. Generally speaking, large trees cost more to remove than small trees.
  • The tree’s condition. Healthy, stable trees are easier — and therefore more affordable — to dismantle.
  • The time of year. Tree removal is generally more expensive during the busy spring, summer, and fall.
  • The tree’s accessibility. Trees that are located in hard-to-reach locations cost more to remove.
  • The project scope. In some cases, you’ll save money by bundling services, such as pruning jobs and removals.
  • The services included. Things like stump grinding and debris removal will usually increase the project costs.

It’s also important to note that the price you’ll pay to remove a dead, dying, or hazardous tree will often climb over time, as the project becomes more difficult to carry out safely. This is especially true if the tree ultimately ends up falling on your home in the middle of a rainy night, necessitating an emergency removal (likely with the assistance of a crane).

This provides yet another reason that proactive tree care is always advisable.

If you are concerned about a tree on your property, contact the Lubbers & Sons Tree Care team today to have it assessed as soon as possible.

We had an amazing experience with Lubber and Sons. There was a fire in our backyard and we needed help taking down several trees fairly quickly. The team was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. They were thoughtful and detailed in deciding what needed to happen right away and were clear about, and stuck to, their timelines. I never felt pushed or coerced into something I was not comfortable with or did not understand. We've since used them to also asses the backyard of a house in an RCD zone and they were super helpful and knowledgeable. It was nice to work with tree people who were not rushing to take down every tree possible!

Tommy gave me a great quote and his crew did an excellent job cutting branches off a huge white oak that was overhanging my house. They worked safely and cleaned up well. Sosha is a real fruit tree expert and has been a huge help with my apple trees. Would definitely recommend them.

Great experience from start to finish. We had Lubbers help us with some complicated tree removals and a lot of pruning and trimming around our house in a forresty part of chapel hill. They helped us navigate compromises on 2 dying trees that we didn't want to remove or leave to endanger our house as they met the end of their lives, and removed several others. The whole crew demonstrated expert skills and deep knowledge. Their communication and ability to work with our neighbors made made the project so much smoother. We will definitely use them for our tree needs in the future.
