Tree Trimming in Raeford, NC
Burks Tree Service does tree trimming in Raeford, NC, Fayetteville, and the rest of Hoke and Cumberland County. We cut out dead limbs, lift branches off roofs and driveways, and thin crowded trees so they hold up better in storms. Our climbers and bucket truck reach the high limbs your pole saw cannot.
Good trimming keeps a tree you love. It is often the cheaper, smarter move than taking the whole tree down.
What Our Tree Trimming Includes
- Dead limb removal from oaks, pecans, and pines
- Branches cut back off roofs, gutters, and siding
- Raising low limbs over driveways, walks, and yards
- Thinning crowded crowns to cut wind load before storm season
- Trimming and removing overgrown shrubs and small trees
- Chipping or hauling every branch we cut
How a Trimming Job Goes
Walk the yard together
Show us what bugs you. We point out dead wood, weak crotches, and limbs rubbing the roof, and you choose what gets cut.
Get a price for exactly that
The estimate lists which trees and limbs are included, so there are no surprises.
Climb or lift and cut
A climber or the bucket truck gets to each limb. Cuts are made at the branch collar so the tree seals over clean.
Clean up
Branches are chipped or loaded, and pine straw and twigs are raked out of the beds.
Why People Call Burks for Trimming
Trimming is careful work around houses, and our reviews reflect that. Customers mention big oaks trimmed in a day, crews that asked before cutting more, and clean yards afterward.
“Was able to come the very next day. I had four large oak trees that I needed the dead limbs removed and several large branches leaning towards the house that needed removal.He took care of all the branches in the estimate and then some. Asked several times if I wanted mod branches removed. While Mr. Burks was taking care of the oak trees two other members of his crew took down five pine trees one of which required his climber to top. All of his people were well mannered and very safety mined. I would highly recommend them if you need some tree removal done”
“He was able to come the next day, came in and trimmed four large water oaks and cleaned up, burned limbs and finished in one day. Would recommend for anyone needing this service.”
“Burks tree service was knowledgeable about their job, they called me the same day and completed the job the same day, Job well done professionally. Thanks”
What Affects Tree Trimming Cost
Every tree is different, so trimming is priced at the free estimate. Here is what we weigh:
- High limbs on a big oak take more climbing or bucket time than low branches.
- A few dead limbs is a quick job. A full crown thinning takes longer.
- Limbs over a roof, pool, or power drop are lowered with ropes instead of dropped.
- If the truck can reach, the job goes faster. Backyards may need a climber.
- Chipping and hauling everything is standard. Leaving wood for you to keep can lower the price.
Tree Trimming in Fayetteville and Raeford Yards
Fayetteville and Raeford have a lot of mature water oaks, willow oaks, and pecans, especially in older neighborhoods. Those trees shed dead limbs as they age, and one big limb on a roof can cost more than years of trimming. Pines drop their lower limbs on their own, but a dead top or a limb hanging over the house still needs a climber.
The best time to trim most hardwoods here is late fall through winter, when the leaves are off and we can see every dead branch. Trimming before hurricane season, which starts in June, is the other smart window. Thinning a heavy crown lets wind pass through instead of pushing the whole tree over.
We trim without topping. Cutting the top off a tree makes it grow back weak and sprout-filled, which is the opposite of what you want in a storm-prone area.
Tree Trimming Questions
How much does tree trimming cost in Fayetteville or Raeford?
It depends on the size of the tree, how many limbs come out, and what is underneath. A few dead limbs costs much less than thinning a large oak over a house. We give free estimates so you see the price first.
When is the best time to trim trees here?
Late fall and winter for most hardwoods, and before hurricane season for anything hanging over the house. Dead or broken limbs should come out any time you spot them.
Do you use a bucket truck?
Yes. We use a bucket truck where it can reach and experienced climbers where it cannot, like backyards behind fences.
Do you trim shrubs and small trees too?
Yes. We cut back and remove overgrown shrubs, hedges, and small ornamental trees along with the bigger tree work.
Will trimming hurt my tree?
Not when it is done right. We cut at the branch collar and never top trees, so the cuts seal over and the tree stays strong.
