Tree Removal and Crane Work for Cary, North Carolina Homes
Cary is about 13 miles from our equipment yard on Westgate Road in northwest Raleigh. Timberman Tree Service is family-owned, and our owners have been in tree work since 2009. Carlos, who runs our estimates, says most of our crane removal calls come from Cary, Raleigh and Apex.
Crane work fits the way this town grew. Its population doubled in the 1980s and again in the 1990s, and about 4 in 10 homes standing today went up in those two decades. Trees kept or planted beside those houses have had 25 years or more to reach toward roofs and driveways. When a tree has no clear place to fall, the crane lifts it out from the top down, one section at a time.
Most of the town sits in western Wake County, with smaller pieces in Chatham and Durham counties. Kildaire Farms was begun in the 1970s as North Carolina's first planned unit development. Farmington Woods followed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Lochmere was planned in the 1980s, and Preston's homes date to the 1990s. Each of those neighborhoods now has big, established trees close to the houses.

Local Tree Removal Expertise in Cary
Four things about a property here decide how we take a tree down. Did the house go up in the 1980s or 1990s, how wide is the lot, is there an HOA, and what did the last big storm do?
Trees That Grew Up With 1980s and 1990s Houses
Census estimates put about 39 percent of Cary homes in the 1980 to 1999 build years. In a neighborhood like Lochmere, planned in the 1980s with mature trees throughout, those trees are now tall enough to reach a roof if they fail. Carlos checks the lean of the trunk and what sits in the fall path before choosing a climb, a controlled drop or the crane.
Side Yards With No Drop Zone
Local real estate guides describe large lots as rare in the town's newer developments. A narrow side yard with a fence, an AC unit and the neighbor's house a few steps away leaves nowhere to drop a trunk, or sometimes even a big limb. That is the job our crane handles best. Each section comes off the top and is set down in a clear spot we pick before the first lift.
HOA Architectural Review
Several established subdivisions here run their own design review. Lochmere's association has an architectural committee, and the Kildaire Farms architectural standards include a section on tree removal. Check with your HOA before booking a date. Tree rules also differ between Wake County towns and inside some subdivisions, and we check what applies to your lot before work is scheduled.
Wind on Soaked Ground
Hurricane Fran brought hurricane-force gusts to Raleigh in September 1996, and the National Weather Service reported that wind on saturated ground uprooted or broke several hundred thousand trees across the region. The yard trees in town have added three decades of height since then. After heavy rain and wind, a tree that shifted at the base or dropped a large limb deserves a look before the next storm.

Crane Jobs Are Our Cary Work
Carlos counts this town among the few that most of our crane removal calls come from. A big tree wedged between two houses is regular work for our crew, and Carlos sees the lot before the crane rolls out.
Thirteen Miles From the Yard
The crane and dump trucks roll out of our Westgate Road yard in northwest Raleigh. Coming back for a stump or a second tree takes about 20 minutes each way.
We Walk the Lot First
On older lots like those in Farmington Woods, Carlos checks the fall path, the fence line and the concrete where the crane will sit. Older driveways can crack under that weight, and you hear that from us up front.
Damage Fixed Before You Pay
We do not accept payment until after you have verified our work and you are satisfied. If something needs a second look later, we are 13 miles up the road.
