Expert Emergency Tree Removal in Clayton, NC

When a tree falls or leans dangerously on your Clayton property, waiting is not an option. Tommy Hicks Tree Service responds to emergency tree removal calls across Clayton, NC, clearing fallen trees, hanging limbs, and storm-damaged trunks before they cause more harm. Clayton yards commonly hold sweetgum, red maple, and loblolly pine.

Tommy did a excellent job. He knew which branches needed to be removed to raise the canopy so the landscape below got the correct amount of sun. He also informed me of dead and damaged branches that should be removed for the health of the trees. He did a great job of cleanup at the end. All at a very reasonable cost. I'll use him again when the trees need trimming again and highly recommend him for tree services to anyone.

Tommy was great. I’ve used his services twice in 12 years. His communication before the job was detailed. He called back quickly when he was unable to answer my call. Tommy did the high limb cutting himself. He & his crew left my yard in better shape than when he arrived. I most highly recommend Tommy for your tree services.
