When a tree is too close to the house to drop, our crane lifts it out in sections and sets each piece down in open space. Most crane jobs take 4 to 5 hours.

Tree Pruning

Pruning is for the health of the tree. We remove dead wood and crossing branches so the tree grows stronger, and we treat it as a separate job from trimming because it is one.

Tree shaping on a hardwood over a tidy lawn in Knightdale, NC07

Shaping is about how the tree looks from the street. We cut ornamental and yard trees to a form that fits the space and keeps the natural structure intact.

Stump grinding a hardwood stump below grade in a Raleigh, NC yard08

Stump Grinding

A leftover stump catches the mower blade and can send up new sprouts. We bring our own stump grinder, grind it below ground level, and leave the spot ready for grass or mulch.

Branches and brush go through our chipper right on site, so no brush pile gets left at the curb. It is a big part of how we leave a yard looking finished.

About Timberman Tree Service

Timberman Tree Service is a Christian, family-owned business run by Esther and Carlos, and we have been in business since 2009. Both owners have more than 40 years in the tree business, and the rest of the family pitches in whenever a job calls for it. Our faith shapes how we work. We tell you the truth about your tree, including the parts you may not want to hear, and we own our mistakes.

That is why we guarantee your satisfaction on every job: we do not accept payment until after you have verified our work and you are satisfied. Our crane and trucks are based in Raleigh and our office is in Zebulon, so a job out in Middlesex or Wilson is as normal for us as one in Cary. We are fully insured & licensed, and everyone who comes to your door works under the same rules.

Why choose Timberman Tree Service

Insured on Every Job

If a worker gets hurt on your property, you want to know the crew was covered. We carry workers' comp, liability, and equipment insurance, and our carrier inspects our crews on the job twice a year.

Pay Only When You're Satisfied

Plenty of homeowners have paid up front and then chased a crew to finish. We do not accept payment until after you have verified our work and you are satisfied.

A Plan for Tight Spaces

A big tree beside the house calls for a plan before the first cut. We map where every section goes, and if the crane could stress an older driveway, we tell you before work starts.

Done Fast and Cleaned Up

Crane jobs usually wrap up in 4 to 5 hours. Crews wear hard hats and radio headsets, so nobody is yelling across your yard, and cleanup keeps going until the yard looks finished.
