As a locally owned and operated business, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and attention to detail. Contact us today for professional and reliable lawn fertilization and treatment services.
"More Like Eastern 1/3 of your lawn Maintenance! I watched my service provider on Ring cameras perform service on 3,600 square feet and ignore the front and side lawns, 6,200 square feet. But my bill reflected 10,000 square feet of service. When I called to question this, they didn't seem to care and I canceled my account. Then I got a p*****-off call from the guy who serviced my lawn (which I did not request), trying to justify the lack of work done on my property. I am still waiting on a call from the 'office manager' about making this right, but I doubt that will come. Attached is an image from the untreated portion of the property, that was nice green grass a year ago (and 1,500 bucks ago) and now it's not doing so well, I wonder what it would have looked like had it been properly serviced!!!"

"I hired Arborex Tree Services LLC to prune three large Southern Red Oaks in my front, side and back yards in Medfield Estates, and at a very reasonable price. They are licensed and insured, and came to do the job within just a couple days of my approving the estimate. Using a combination of a far-reaching bucket truck where applicable, and rope-climbing in the more sensitive areas (they did not use spikes on their boots that might have injured the trees) they removed large dead branches threatening to fall on their own, and live branches overhanging the house. In all cases when there was danger of damage below, they lowered the limbs with ropes rather than dropping them. The crew of four were efficient, skilled, safety-conscious, friendly, and courteous. Their coordinated efforts made the work go smoothly and quickly, and it was pure pleasure to watch them work. The limbs were cut, removed, ground up & hauled away, and the area raked clean such that there was little or no evidence they had been there. I will hire them again when the time comes to prune (or remove) more trees."

FAQs for tree service projects in Hillsborough, NC
You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.
In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.
It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees.
When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.
If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble.
Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.
A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.
Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
