  • The cost of tree removal depends on factors such as tree height, diameter, location, and condition. On average, tree removal in the greater Charlotte, NC area ranges from $300-$3,000. Key factors affecting cost include: 

    • Tree size and shape– larger trees require more labor and specialized equipment.

    • Proximity to structures– trees near homes, power lines, or driveways require careful removal.

    • Late fall to early spring (dormant season)– ideal for most trees, as they are not actively growing. This helps reduce stress and prevents the spread of tree diseases.

    • Summer pruning– best for light trimming to shape the tree and remove dead or hazardous branches.

    • Avoid heavy pruning in late spring– many trees are in their most active growth phase, and over-pruning can weaken their structure.

    For oak, maples, magnolias, and fruit trees, proper pruning techniques ensure healthier growth, improved safety, and better curb appeal. Our team at Founders Tree Co. knows the best trimming schedule for trees in Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, Mooresville, and surrounding areas.
