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.

Expert Tree Removal in Clayton, NC
Tree removal in Clayton, NC is not a one-size-fits-all job. Older neighborhoods near downtown Clayton are home to white oaks, water oaks, and tulip poplars that are 50 to 70 years old. As these trees age, they can decline, lean, or split. Johnston County also sits in the path of hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe thunderstorms that move through Eastern NC. Storm winds and saturated soil from the Neuse River watershed can destabilize root systems and turn a healthy-looking tree into a hazard overnight. Clayton's rapid growth adds another layer of risk. Lots are smaller now, and a tree that once stood safely between open fields can suddenly lean toward a new neighbor's property or a shared fence line. At Tommy Hicks Tree Service, we assess each tree individually before any cut is made. We handle the full removal, from the first cut to debris cleanup, so your yard is clear and safe when we leave. Call us to schedule an on-site assessment.
