Tree Removal in Tarboro, NC

Old trees in an old town

Homes in and around the Tarboro Historic District often have trees that have been growing for generations. Old trees are worth keeping when they’re healthy, and a good trim that removes deadwood and lightens heavy limbs can add years. When an old tree is hollow, dying, or leaning over the house, careful sectional removal keeps the house, porch, and neighbors’ property safe.

Flooding, saturated ground, and trees

The Tar River crested 24 feet above flood stage after Hurricane Floyd in 1999, flooding much of downtown, and it crested at 36.2 feet at the Tarboro Town Bridge after Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Floodwater and soggy soil weaken roots, and trees that stood through a flood can decline or start leaning over the following months.

If your property has flooded, have trees near the house looked at. A tree that’s leaning more than it used to, or has soil lifting on one side, should be checked soon.

Limb pickup and haul-away

The town picks up yard waste on Wednesdays, with limbs cut to 4 feet and stacked behind the curb, and large piles can be scheduled by calling public works. A full removal produces far more than that, so ask for haul-away on your estimate.

If a tree is on a power line, call Tarboro Electric Utilities and stay clear.
