Safe, controlled removals
Tree removal done carefully, not just quickly
Most trees in Asheville can’t simply be dropped. They grow on steep lots, over roofs and decks, between houses and through power lines. So we take them down the careful way: a climber works from the top down, and each limb and section of trunk is rigged and lowered on ropes to the ground.
Before the first cut, we walk the job with you, point out any hazards and give you a clear written estimate. On the day, our insured crew protects your lawn and driveway, chips the brush, hauls the wood or stacks it as firewood, and leaves the yard clean.
- Climbing, rigging and sectional takedowns
- Brush chipped and wood hauled or stacked
- Stump grinding the same day if you want it
What we remove
Every kind of tree, every kind of yard
From a single dead pine to a backyard full of trees over the deck, we plan each removal around what is under it.
Tight spots near homes
Trees between houses, over decks or near power lines. We climb, rig and lower each section on ropes so nothing hits your roof.
Could trimming save it?
Dead & dying trees
Dead hemlocks, ash killed by emerald ash borer and oaks in decline get brittle fast. Removing them early is safer and usually costs less.
Tree health assessments
Large trees & multiple removals
Big oaks, poplars and pines, or a whole row of trees. We bring the crew and equipment to finish the job quickly and haul everything away.

Signs a tree should come down
A tree doesn’t have to be dead to be dangerous. If you notice any of these, have it looked at before the next storm. Not every one means removal. Sometimes pruning is enough, and we will tell you plainly.
Tree already on the house or a power line?

How it works
From first call to a clean yard
Most removals take a single day. Here is what to expect.
Free estimate
Call or send the form. We visit, look at the tree and what is around it, and give you a written estimate.
Plan the takedown
We decide where each piece goes: felled, lowered on ropes, or taken down in sections from the top.
Safe removal
Our insured crew protects your lawn and driveway and takes the tree down with proper rigging.
Cleanup
Brush chipped, wood hauled or stacked, stump ground if you want it, and the yard raked clean.
Finish the job
Add stump grinding and get your yard back
A cut tree leaves a stump that trips mowers, sprouts suckers and attracts insects. We can grind it below grade the same day, clean up the chips and leave the spot ready for topsoil and seed. Learn more about stump grinding, or read our tree removal cost guide to see what affects the price.

Reviews
What clients are saying
★★★★★
"After a big storm took down a 60-foot oak right next to our house, I was panicking. These guys were out the same evening, had it safely removed by the next morning, and left the yard spotless."
Margaret R.Asheville, NC
★★★★★
"We had three huge trees removed from our backyard, one right over the deck. I was nervous about damage, but the crew was meticulous. They used ropes and rigging and not a single branch touched anything."
David K.Asheville, NC
★★★★★
"They trimmed all eight of our mature maples and did an outstanding job shaping them. The arborist explained everything beforehand and clearly cared about the health of the trees, not just getting done fast."

How much does tree removal cost in Asheville?
It depends mostly on the size of the tree, what is under it, how we can reach it and whether you want the stump ground and the wood hauled away. We give free written estimates after seeing the tree. See our tree removal cost guide for what affects the price.
How long does tree removal take?
Most single-tree removals are done in a day. Large trees, tight access or multiple trees can take longer, and we will give you a timeline with your estimate.
Can you remove a tree that is close to my house?
Yes. We climb the tree and lower it in sections on ropes and rigging, so nothing drops on your roof, deck or driveway. This is most of the removal work we do in Asheville.
Is stump grinding included?
Stump grinding is priced separately so you can choose. Most customers add it, and we can do it the same day as the removal.
Will you clean up after the job?
Always. We haul away branches and wood, rake up debris and leave your yard clean, unless you would like to keep the firewood.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Most residential lots inside Asheville do not need a permit. The City of Asheville has special rules for businesses, steep slope areas and historic districts such as Montford, and HOAs often have their own. See our guide: do you need a permit to remove a tree in Asheville?
Are you insured?
Yes. Asheville Tree Service Pros is fully insured for your protection and peace of mind. We are happy to send proof of insurance before any work starts.
