Real local crews, fair pricing, and one number to call. Pick the service that fits, or text us photos if you're not sure which it is.

Call first, we answer

Tree emergency

Storms, tree on the house, blocked access, hanging limbs. For dangerous or storm-damaged trees, calling is faster than texting.

  • Crew on the way when you call
  • Property protected before the first cut
  • Tarps, haul-off, and debris handled
Dead, leaning, or unwanted

Tree removal

Taken down safely, hauled off, and the yard raked clean before we leave. Homes, driveways, fences, and yard access factored into the plan before the first cut.

  • Roof, driveway, and fence factored into the plan
  • Controlled sections when there is no clean drop zone
  • Cleanup, haul-off, and stump options discussed up front
Roof, driveway, fence

Tree trimming

Cleared back from the roofline, the driveway, and the fence — no more scraping, no more dings. Done with the cleanup in mind.

  • Limbs off the roof, off the driveway, off the fence
  • No over-cutting, no topping, no ugly stubs
  • Cleanup and haul-off included in the scope
After heavy wind

Storm cleanup

Fallen limbs, broken branches, uprooted trees, debris piles. We get the driveway and yard back to usable, fast.

  • Fallen limbs and broken branches removed
  • Uprooted trees and debris cleared
  • Driveway and access restored the same day
Yard usable again

Stump grinding

Ground 6–12 inches below grade so you can mow, plant, or build right over it. No trip hazard, no mowing obstacle.

  • Ground 6–12 inches below grade
  • Ready to mow, plant, or build right over
  • No trip hazard, no mowing obstacle
Honest take

Hazard check

We come out, look it over, and tell you straight what the tree needs — even if that's nothing. Leaning, cracked, or storm-damaged.

  • On-site assessment, no obligation
  • Honest take on what the tree actually needs
  • Even if the answer is leave it

After the storm

Storm damage doesn't wait. Neither do we.

When a tree is on your house, blocking your driveway, or leaning after high winds, call first. For a dangerous or storm-damaged tree, calling is faster than texting.

The work is not just the cut. It is the setup, the access route, the lowering plan, and the cleanup path.

Property protection

Careful Work, Clean Yard

Tree work is not just the cut. The work plan should account for the roof, driveway, lawn, fence, landscaping, cleanup route, and what happens to limbs and wood after the job.

  1. 1

    Walk the tree, access route, and drop zone before the first cut.

  2. 2

    Flag roof, driveway, fence, lawn, landscaping, and utility concerns that change the plan.

  3. 3

    Climb, rig, lower, or remove in controlled sections when space is tight.

  4. 4

    Stage debris, wood, and equipment so the work area stays usable during the job.

  5. 5

    Haul off, rake, and confirm cleanup before we leave the property.

Common questions

Common Tree Questions

Do you provide free estimates?

Yes. Call or text Wake Tree Removal to request a free estimate for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, storm cleanup, or hazardous tree help.

Can I text photos of the tree?

Yes. Send photos of the whole tree, the trunk base, nearby structures, access points, and any damage so the situation is easier to understand before scheduling.

Do you clean up after tree work?

Cleanup expectations should be included in the job scope. Ask what debris hauling, raking, stump grinding, and wood handling are included before work starts.

Can you grind the stump after removing a tree?

Yes, stump grinding can be discussed with the tree removal estimate so the yard is easier to mow, landscape, or replant.

Can you help if a tree is near power lines?

If a tree is touching or tangled with utility lines, stay away and call the utility company first. For nearby tree concerns that are not contacting lines, call to talk through the safest next step.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

Tree rules can vary by city, tree location, property type, right-of-way status, and HOA requirements. Homeowners should confirm current requirements with the city, HOA, utility, or applicable authority before work begins.
