Tree Limb Removal in High Point, NC | Single Branches Cut

The size of the limb, how high it sits, and what is directly under it are what set the price when you only need a branch or two removed, not the whole tree. A low limb over the driveway is quick. A heavy branch forty feet up hanging over the roof has to be roped and lowered so it does not drop on the shingles. The target underneath is what turns a simple cut into a rigging job.

This is single-limb work, not a full prune. Maybe a branch scrapes the siding, overhangs the neighbor, or cracked and is now hanging. The crew that comes out cuts the limb at the collar, lowers it under control where there is something below, and clears the piece. High Point storms leave a lot of these, one heavy limb cracked and threatening whatever sits beneath it.

How Much Does Tree Limb Removal Cost in High Point, NC?

What changesEffect on your price

Number of limbsHow many are coming off, and whether they are on one tree or several.
What is under the limbA limb over a roof, a fence or a line is lowered on a rope, not just dropped.
Access for equipmentA back yard a chipper, truck or crane cannot reach means the wood comes out by hand, which adds labour to the exact same tree.
Debris haul-offChipping and hauling the brush and wood is part of most jobs. Leaving the rounds as firewood can take a line off the price.
Every job is priced on site. We look at the tree, the lean, the health of the wood and the drop zone, and put a written price in your hand before any cutting starts.

Common Questions

Can you just take off one branch?
Yes. Single-limb removal is a common request. Whether it is one branch over the roof or a couple scraping the house, the crew cuts just what you need. The price depends on the limb's size, height and what is underneath it.
What if the limb is over my roof?
Then it gets roped and lowered instead of dropped, so nothing lands on the shingles. That controlled lowering takes more time than free-cutting a limb over open lawn, which is why the target below is a big factor in the price.
Is removing a big limb bad for the tree?
Cutting one healthy limb at the collar is fine for a sound tree. Removing several large ones at once stresses it, so the crew keeps within a safe amount. A cracked or dead limb should come off regardless, since it is a hazard.
Do you remove a limb that already cracked and is hanging?
Yes, and it should come down soon. A cracked, hanging limb is loaded and can fall without warning onto whatever is below. The crew removes it under control rather than waiting for it to drop on its own.
