Safe and efficient tree removal from a team of professional arborists with more than 30 years of combined experience.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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:
“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.”

Homeowners and property managers often think of tree removal as a one-size-fits-all project. But in reality, there are a number of different approaches professional arborists can use to dismantle a tree safely.
We’ll outline some of the various methods we use below, but that doesn’t mean you need to choose between them. Simply schedule an estimate, and our tree-removal experts will identify the best approach based on the species, location, and size of the tree.

It’s certainly important to have hazardous trees removed in a timely fashion, but it’s also important that you choose the right tree-removal team to handle the job. Tree removal is complicated and dangerous work that should never be carried out by inexperienced or underqualified outfits.
Trusting the wrong tree-removal team can lead to a number of problems, including:
Fortunately, avoiding these kinds of problems is relatively easy: You simply need to select a team of expert arborists who not only have the skill, equipment, and expertise to carry out the work but also an unwavering commitment to safety. That’s exactly what you get when you rely on the Lubbers & Sons Tree Care Team.

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:
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:
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.
