Do you work for contractors and other tree companies?

Yes, and there is a rate for it. Contractors and tree companies with steady work get a different number from a one-off homeowner job — I do not publish it, because it depends on the volume and the kind of work. Tell me what you have coming and I will price it.

Yes — lot clearing is work I take, from a fence line of pines to a whole lot that has to be opened before anything else starts. There is no published price for it, because an acre of scrub and an acre of mature pine are not the same week. It is priced by the job once I have walked it.

Can you work outside normal hours?

The phone is answered open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergencies get handled whatever the hour. For planned work on a site that cannot have a lift in the way during the day, tell me what the site needs and I will tell you straight what is workable.

Can you clear a lot or a fence line, not just one tree?

Yes. Overgrown fence lines, a line of pines along a drive, a lot that needs opening up — that is tractor and grinder work, quoted by the job after I have walked it.

Commercial Tree Service in Hampstead, NC

Same crew, same equipment, same price list — whoever owns the ground. What is different is that contractors and tree companies with steady work get their own rate, and that the phone is answered open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when something comes down on a site that has to open in the morning.

The work comes from commercial property owners and managers, HOAs, and other contractors and tree companies. Removals, trimming, stump grinding and lot clearing, priced by the job.

Do you have a rate for contractors and tree companies?

Yes. If you have ongoing work — grinding behind your removals, a machine and an operator for a day, trees to clear ahead of a build — that is priced differently from a one-off job at a house. I do not publish a figure, because it depends on how much work there is and what kind. Tell me what you have coming and I will put a number on it.

If you are a tree company with more stumps than grinders, that is work I am set up to take. I run tracked grinders, there is a crew of four of us, and we are fully insured.

What does commercial tree work cost?

The published bands apply the same as anywhere: $800 minimum on a removal, most between $1,500–$3,500, and stump grinding at $7 per inch of diameter with a $200 minimum. A tree does not know what sort of building it is standing next to. Volume is where the contractor rate comes in, not the list.

Do you clear lots and fence lines?

Yes. Lot clearing is work I take — a line of pines along a drive, an overgrown boundary, a whole lot that has to be opened before anything else starts. It is tractor and grinder work more than climbing work.

There is no published price for it, and I am not going to invent one: an acre of scrub and an acre of mature pine are not the same week. Lot clearing is priced by the job once I have walked it, which is also the only way you get a number you can hold me to.

What about access on a site that has to keep working?

Tell me how the site runs — which entrance has to stay open, where a lift can be set, what cannot be blocked and when — and I will tell you straight what is workable before anything is booked. The phone is answered open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Insurance details go to contracted clients rather than on a web page; if your site needs them before a machine arrives, say so when you call.

How do you work in a tight spot on a built-up site?

The same way I do at a house. My equipment fits through a 36-inch gate, so a courtyard, a fenced dumpster pad or a strip between two buildings is reachable without taking a fence down. Above ground it is lifts and climbers — a variety of lifts, and climbers for what a lift cannot be set under. Nothing gets felled where there is something underneath it; the pieces are roped and lowered.

What about after a storm?

Storms do not keep business hours and neither does the phone. If a tree is down across an entrance, a parking lot or a roof, that is emergency work and priced as emergency work. Once it is clear, the cleanup — hangers, snapped tops, brush — is quoted free after I have looked at it.
