Goldsboro is fifteen minutes down the road from our yard in Pikeville, and we've been working there since 1996. We take down, trim and clear trees all over the city and the county around it, from the big old oaks near downtown to pine-edged lots in the newer subdivisions.
If you've got a tree that worries you, a stump in the way, or a lot that needs clearing, we'll come look at it for free and give you a straight price.
Storm country
Anyone who's lived in Goldsboro a while remembers Fran, Floyd, Matthew and Florence. The Neuse and Little River flooding gets the headlines, but it's often the trees that do the damage in town: tall pines that snap or uproot in saturated ground, and old water oaks that look fine until a big limb comes down on a roof.
A lot of what we do in Goldsboro is the work before the storm: taking out dead limbs, lifting branches off roofs, and removing the trees that are most likely to fail while it can be done calmly and on your schedule.
Mature trees, tight yards
The older parts of Goldsboro have some of the biggest trees in the county, often standing between houses, over driveways and next to power lines. Those are exactly the jobs our bucket truck is for: we take the tree down in sections from above and lower the pieces where they can't hurt anything, then chip and haul everything away.
On newer lots around the edges of town we do a lot of pine removal, stump grinding and clearing for fences, sheds and additions.
Near the base
If you're stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and own a home off base, or you're getting a house ready to sell or rent before a move, tell us your timeline. We'll do our best to work around a PCS date.
City trees and power lines
Trees in the strip between the sidewalk and the street, and trees tangled in the main power lines, may be the city's or the utility's responsibility rather than yours. If your tree is in that grey area, we'll help you work out who to call before anything is cut.
