A crew came out yesterday, 8/24/26, to do trimming and remove three Crepe Myrtles overhanging our roof. As was the case with previous services, they did an "Exceptional" job! Very professional, kept me informed, and worked great as a team! Another "Outstanding" experience from start to finish! Steven came out on 5/24/24 and did an estimate that I had in writing in under two hours. Then Marshall led a team of two others yesterday, 5/30/24, in expertly removing four trees and performing numerous trimming on other trees. They were professional, polite, and patient when I had questions. Completely trustworthy and reliable!

Response from the owner:I was happy we were able to fit you in the other day. Sounds like the crew did an awesome job for you. So glad we could help you out with that. Just let us know if you need any more help in the future! -Steven

The team from CS Tree Services was amazing. From my first communication, they were prompt with their response, fair with their estimate and transparent about their pricing. They cut down 16 large pine trees in our back yard and ground all the stumps. We even received compliments from our neighbors about their professionalism, efficiency, and cleanliness. They even took the time at the end of the project to leaf blow all the debris out of the driveway, street and sidewalk, leaving it better than they found it.

Response from the owner:That was a big project! Thank you so much for giving CS the opportunity to complete that for you guys. Just let us know if you ever need any more tree help! Thanks again. -Steven

We had an amazing experience with CS Tree Services. A tree fell on our house during a storm and we called them early the next morning. They came right out and had the whole thing down by the next day. The crew was super professional, skilled, and impressive to watch work. They made a stressful situation way easier. Plus, their cleanup was incredible. They literally picked up hundreds of pine cones that were scattered all over the property and left everything spotless. Definitely call these guys if you need tree work done!

Response from the owner:I’m glad we were able to get that Pine off the roof for you. Hoping that the repair work has gone well. Thanks for taking time to leave a review for CS! -Steven

This was our first time using CS Tree Service and they were great! Their quote was very reasonable. The team was on time and very professional. We had two large trees removed and some pruning. Everything went flawlessly, and they left our property spic and span. We highly recommend them!

Response from the owner:Thanks once again for choosing CS to help you with that project. Also happy we could get to your neighbors tree while we were out there. Hopefully your trees should be in good shape for the next several years. Just let me know if you ever need any more help. -Steven

Great work done removing 2 giant maple trees and trimming crepe myrtle branches away from the roof. The staff was incredibly efficient and thorough. The team worked great together and our yard was so neat afterwards that you'd never know they were there. Thanks everyone:)

Response from the owner:I’m happy we could help you out with your project. Sounds like everything worked out great! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for others to see. If you ever need any more help, let us know. Thanks again. -Steven

This was our second time working with CS Tree Services. We live on a heavily wooded lot and many of the larger trees in the backyard can only be accessed using a crane reaching over the house. Ryan came out and helped us identify the trees that were the biggest threat and gave us a great price. In all, they were able to remove 10+ trees in a single day and left the yard spotless after cleanup. I would highly recommend this company.

Response from the owner:Very happy we could help you out with your project. I know the crew worked hard that day. Thanks for telling others about your experience with CS. Just let us j ow if you ever need any more tree help. -Steven

Top Reasons For Tree Removal

How do you know when it’s time to remove a tree? Our certified arborist in Raleigh will assess the condition of your tree to determine the safest and best approach for removal. These are the top reasons that signify that it’s time to give us a call.

Decaying Tree

Tall trees can take a hit during storms, which can cause damage to their roots, crowns, or trunks. Trees that have major damage need to be uprooted to prevent unnecessary risks to your home and surroundings.

Aggressive Root System

Some tree species have aggressive root systems that can cause damage to surrounding properties. When this happens, the foundation and structure of your home or building will be at risk.

Damaged by Storm

Insect Infestation

Unhealthy trees that have insect infestation can pose significant risks to your garden or home. Without proper treatment, infestation can quickly spread to surrounding trees and vegetation. Sometimes, the best solution is to remove a tree to stop the infestation.

Clearing the grounds makes construction easier. Whether you are planning to build a new house or redesign your whole yard, tree removal can make the process less complicated.
