"Joshua Tree Experts did an awesome job pruning trees and taking down a tree in our yard. They were efficient in their work and reasonably priced. I will definitely use them again. My neighbor used their services before I did. While working at her home, their arborist Jay Hamrick knocked on my door to point out a big limb hanging down on our roof and asked did I want them to take care of it while they were finishing up at my neighbor’s. I had been meaning to get that branch removed and so they did so at a very reasonable price. I then asked Jay to walk with me around our yard to identify what else needed to be done. He was very selective in what he pointed out including pruning two additional trees and taking down an ornamental tree that was not healthy and was laying over and choking another tree. He did not try to talk me into anything that was not necessary. They came back and completed that work in record time. The price was very reasonable. I will definitely call on them again. I really appreciated how proactive Jay is and I trust him as an arborist."

FAQs for tree service projects in Charlotte, 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.
