Tree Service in Wilson and Across Wilson County
The county is one of seven in our regular service radius, and the city sits about 33 minutes east of our office in Zebulon. Timberman Tree Service is family-owned. Our owners, with 40+ years of experience, have been in tree work since 2009, and our equipment yard is on Westgate Road in northwest Raleigh.
Here, the calls that matter most tend to come after bad weather. The city's own flood page names Hurricanes Hugo, Matthew and Florence as proof that inland towns get hurricane winds, and a March 2025 storm uprooted trees across several streets in town. Because the drive is longer than it is to towns next to Zebulon, we bring the heavy equipment on the first trip.
Our service area covers the older parts of the city, including the Old Wilson Historic District, the West Nash Street Historic District and Forest Hills, as well as newer streets and nearby towns such as Elm City and Lucama.

Local Tree Service Expertise in Wilson
Two things change how we plan a job here: older neighborhoods and the storm record.
Houses Built From 1853 Onward
The Old Wilson Historic District holds homes built from 1853 on, in Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles, and the West Nash Street district filled in during the 1910s and 1920s. Big trees near porches and old roofs call for sections lifted out rather than felled. Rules can differ inside historic districts, and we check what applies to your property before any cutting is scheduled.
A Third of Homes Predate 1970
About a third of local housing was built before 1970, and the median home dates to 1983. Mid-century streets like Forest Hills have mature trees over roofs that have stood for decades. Carlos looks at the lean and at what the tree would hit. That walkthrough, not a photo, decides the method.
Hurricane Winds and the March 2025 Storm
The city's flood page points to Hurricanes Hugo, Matthew and Florence as storms that brought damaging wind and flooding inland. On March 5, 2025, winds uprooted trees on Bridgers Street, Christopher Drive, Bell Street and Hart Avenue, and one came through a roof. An uprooted tree still carries its root plate, so we plan the cut sequence before anyone climbs.
Creek Floodplains and City-Owned Trees
The city names the Hominy Swamp watershed and Toisnot Creek among its flood-prone areas, and wet ground there changes where a heavy truck or crane can set up. Tree City USA status goes back 44 years, and there is a tree board for city-owned trees. When a tree stands near the street, we sort out whether it is yours before quoting.
Why Wilson Calls Timberman Tree Service for Storm Work
The Whole Fleet Makes the Drive
A crane, six dump trucks, two chippers and a stump grinder are all ours. When the job is 33 minutes from Zebulon, that means the right machine is on the first trip to your property.
Old Trees, Older Houses
Some streets here have houses from the 1850s through the 1920s beside trees just as old. Our walkthrough checks the roofline and what is underground before we pick a method.
Fixed Before You Pay
If a crane or truck damages anything at your home, we fix it first. We do not accept payment until after you have verified our work and you are satisfied.
