"I have no words to express my admiration for the professionalism of these people. We hired them for the second time, and they did a perfect job. They had to remove 7 70ft trees, some of which were dead and dried up, some leaning towards the house, and others diseased and infested with insects. The guys came with the necessary equipment and completed the work without any issues or damage to the property. They even cleaned up the yard afterwards. We were extremely satisfied and will hire them again when needed! Don't hesitate. This is one of the best and most professional tree removal companies in the state."

"They removed 12 trees, all of which were within 10 feet of the house. They arrived on time and started promptly. This is a full service tree company and will use crane, shredder, stump grinder, and bobcat. The team of six moves fast and efficiently. There will be some disruption if you have a small suburban street like mine, but it was minimal and they guided traffic as necessary. The entire job was finished and cleaned up in less than 4 hours. No damage to my house or property and they did a great job removing all debris. Keep in mind these were huge trees ranging from 55 to 70 feet tall. It was a large undertaking and they handled it very well."

"Excellent. This is the 3rd job that Forrest has done for me. Each time I was thoroughly impressed by his skill and efficiency. Forrest has always quoted a more than reasonable price on each of the jobs. On this job, I explained that I needed the tree work completed before the installation of a fence which was scheduled in the following week. Forrest rearranged his schedule to complete my tree job before my fence installation. Brought in his crew and bucket truck along with chipper and stump grinder. Completed the job in half day. Cleaned up all brush and tree limbs."

"I highly recommend ArborPro. Brad was great. He was responsive over the phone and communicated well throughout. He came out to the house and listened to our various needs in order to write up a quote that was very fair. We had a large tree down, some smaller trees and bushes, dead limbs removed, and stumps ground. He cleared a large area and graded it at no extra cost after realizing how uneven the surface was. A few hiccups emerged throughout the process, but he handled them very well. He and his crew hauled everything away and the place looked great after. Additionally, he gave me some advice on some things I can do on my own around the property. I would definitely have him out again."

"Arborex took some trees down for us 5 years ago and we were very happy with the results. So when we needed more extensive tree removal done this month, i did not hesitate to call them again. We had one very difficult and dangerously leaning very mature oak tree that required the crane for safe removal. In addition to that there were 2 mature river birch trees next to our deck and 2 other dead mature oaks that also needed to go. In addition, numerous mature oaks in both the front and back yards needed serious, high trim work. Once again, Usman and his crew did a terrific job for us. All of the trees were cut, stumps ground, trimmed and removed or chipped in a very professional and safe manner. They also did an excellent job in clean up of the property once all the work was done. I highly recommend Arborex and would not hesitate to hire them again for any tree service."

"I had a great experience with Broadleaf Tree and Shrub. Blake arrived when he said he would, walked around my property with me, and discussed the various tree needs. He gave me an estimate on the spot, then followed up with a more detailed estimate via email. He was knowledgeable and professional. Blake and his crew showed up at the arranged day and time, took care of everything on the estimate, and cleaned up all debris. When the job was finished, Blake walked around my property with me again to review the work that had been done. I plan to have Broadleaf Tree and Shrub come out again to take care of further tree needs in the winter."

"They did an amazing job! We received tree chips from them which we used to cover our garden in the fall. Than they came back and trim of our 3 trees. The trim made the house look bigger and i don’t think our trees ever looked better! Tasha is a dream to work with and the ability to text makes it easier for this working mom."

FAQs for tree service projects in Chapel Hill, NC

Professionals remove shrubs by first cutting back the branches using tools like pruning shears or chainsaws for thicker stems. They then cut the base close to the ground and dig around the root system to remove the roots completely, preventing regrowth. Finally, they’ll ensure proper disposal of branches and debris while complying with local regulations.

A bush stump will regrow if any portion of its root system remains. When even a small section of roots is left behind, new shoots emerge and regenerate the bush with leggy, spreading growth. Working with a professional landscaper ensures the complete removal of the stump and all roots, which is essential to prevent any regrowth, ensuring that the area remains clear and maintenance is minimized.
