Tree Removal in Greensboro and the Triad
Tree Removal in Greensboro, NC
Carolina's Elite Tree Service handles tree removal in Greensboro, NC and across Guilford and Forsyth counties. Mark's description of the business says it plainly: we specialize in dangerous tree removal. That means the trees other crews price high or walk away from, the ones leaning over a roof, a fence, or the neighbor's shed.
We climb, rig, and lower the tree in pieces so nothing drops where it should not. Then we clean up like we were never there. You can have the wood hauled off or cut to length for your fire pit. Estimates are free, and many jobs start the same day or the next.

How a Tree Removal Job Works
- 1
Call or text for a free estimate
Mark comes out, walks the tree with you, and looks at what is under it and around it. You get one clear price.
- 2
Plan the drop zone
We decide which parts get rigged and lowered and which can fall. Cars, grills, and patio sets get moved out of the way.
- 3
Climb and take it down in pieces
A climber works from the top down. Big wood is roped and lowered so it lands where we want it.
- 4
Cut, chip, and haul
Brush goes in the chipper or on the trailer. Logs get hauled off or cut into firewood, your choice.
- 5
Clean up and walk the yard
We rake, blow, and pick up the small stuff. Then we walk the yard with you before we pack up.
Why Greensboro Homeowners Call Us for Removals
The job most people call about is the scary one. Shaun H. had been getting quotes on a big tree that sat right on his house. He wrote that other companies gave him "outlandish prices" because it was too close to his house and his neighbor's. Our crew "took that tree down so freaking fast and safely" and cleaned the yard after.
Cleanup is the other thing reviewers bring up again and again. Becky B. said we "cleaned up so well you would never know they were here." Bob S. had a very large birch in a tricky spot and said we cleaned everything up and hauled it away. Mark is licensed and insured, and every one of our 26 Google reviews is five stars.
What Affects the Price of Tree Removal
Every tree is different, so we price each job after we see it. These are the things that move the number up or down.
- Size of the tree
- Taller trees with thick trunks take more climbing, more cuts, and more hauling.
- What is under it
- A tree over a roof or fence needs every piece rigged and lowered. A tree in an open yard can often be dropped.
- Access
- Tight gates, steep yards, and long carries from the backyard to the trailer add time.
- Tree condition
- Dead and rotten trees can be brittle. They need more care and sometimes more rigging.
- Wood and debris
- Leaving the logs as firewood usually costs less than a full haul-off.
- Stump grinding
- Adding the stump on the same visit saves a second trip.
Tree Removal Needs We See Around Greensboro
Greensboro yards are full of tall loblolly pines, willow oaks, tulip poplars, and sweetgums that were planted or left standing when neighborhoods went in 40 or 60 years ago. Many of those trees are now taller than the houses they shade. When one dies or starts to lean, it is almost always close to something that matters.
Our red clay holds water after heavy rain, and shallow-rooted pines can tip when the ground is soaked and the wind picks up. Ice storms add weight to limbs that were already reaching over roofs. If a tree has a crack in the trunk, mushrooms at the base, bare dead limbs up top, or a new lean, call before the next storm.
Some trees near the street belong to the city, not to you. If a tree sits in the strip between the sidewalk and the road, we will help you check who owns it before any work starts.
What Customers Say About Our Tree Removal
Read all 26 reviews“Mark is both a hard worker and a great person. I am a very satisfied customer. He gave us a prompt estimate and scheduled us quickly to remove one big tree and prune large branches of three other trees around our home. The crew was very professional and highly skilled. Mark made sure that we were on the same page and the job was proceeding as I wanted.”
“I actually had a big tree right on my house that I was getting quotes for previously, but they were outlandish prices because it was "too close to my house and my neighbors house". They looked at it for a minute and gave me a quote I couldn't refuse, they started work right away! Took that tree down so freaking fast and safely, I couldn't believe it! Super professional, safe, cleaned up the yard great.”
“I can't say enough about this company, in a word both the owner Mark and his Uncle Greg are AWESOME!!! We had 3 trees taken down, bushes and another tree trimmed. They left the yard spotless and blew and picked up remaining fall leaves. I am going to have them back to power wash and clean the gutters.”
Tree Removal Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Greensboro?
It depends on the size of the tree, what is under it, and how easy it is to reach. We give free estimates on site, so you know the price before any work starts. Call (336) 309-1094 to set one up.
Can you take down a tree that is right next to my house?
Yes. Trees close to houses, fences, and sheds are a big part of what we do. We climb the tree and lower the wood in sections with ropes so it does not hit anything.
Do you haul away the wood?
Yes, we can haul it all away. If you want firewood, we can cut the logs to length and stack them instead. Several of our customers kept the wood for their fire pits.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Carolina's Elite Tree Service is licensed and insured. Ask Mark for a copy of the insurance certificate when he gives your estimate.
How fast can you come out?
Estimates are often the same day or next day. Many reviewers say we did the work the same day or the day after the estimate. It depends on the schedule and the size of the job.
