At JD Tree Service, Our team follows North Carolina tree service standards and industry guidance from the North Carolina Forest Service. Every lead arborist is ISA certified and trained in ongoing safety and tree health practices. We assess disease, structural risk, and perform safe removals when needed.
In High Point, hot humid summers and strong storms often weaken trees in clay soil, especially during July and August.
We know how to spot and prevent these problems before they damage your house or power lines. In fact, Guilford County emergency officials reported trees falling across the Triad in recent severe weather. We’re always ready with the right equipment – bucket trucks, cranes, and chippers – to make removals safe and efficient.
Storm-damaged or unstable trees are our specialty. We safely take down any tree that’s leaning, cracked, or too close to structures. Big oaks and pines are common in High Point, and when high winds hit, even healthy-looking trees can split. We’ll handle everything from hauling it off to hauling away debris, leaving your yard clear.
Regular pruning keeps trees healthy and prevents hazards. We trim branches that rub on houses, power lines, or signs of disease. In our humid climate, dead limbs can weaken and fall; timely trimming prevents that. We also shape trees to improve sunlight and air flow, which helps during storm season.
After a tree is cut down, the remaining stump can attract insects or trip people. We grind stumps deep into the ground so they won’t regrow or cause problems. This is faster and cheaper than full stump removal, but still makes your lawn usable right away.
For some properties, complete stump removal is needed – for example, if you’re landscaping or building. We can excavate stumps and roots so you have a smooth site.
Building a new home or addition? We clear trees, brush, and stumps from lots of any size. High Point has many older neighborhoods and new developments; we clear areas like Johnson Street lands or Oak Hollow subdivisions quickly and safely, following local regulations on debris disposal.
We inspect the site and discuss your needs. You get a written estimate and no hidden fees.
Before any work, we review the plan with you. We mark safety zones and check for utilities.
Using modern equipment, we carefully cut or prune the tree. If it’s removal, we take sections down safely.
We chip branches, grind or remove stumps (your choice), and haul away all debris. Your yard will be clear of branches and wood pieces.
We review the job with you. Any final questions are answered. We ensure you’re happy and that everything is cleaned up as promised.
Tree service costs vary by the tree’s size, location, and condition. Typically, simple jobs range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand. Nationally, homeowners report an average tree removal costs about $700–$1,000. Small yard trees often run $150–$500, while very tall oaks or pines (60 feet+) can exceed $2,000.
Emergency jobs after a storm cost more. For urgent removals (like at night or on weekends), prices typically run $500–$2,500 depending on complexity. Factors that affect your quote include:
We give a free on-site estimate for every job, so you know the final cost before we start. We explain the options – for example, stump grinding versus full removal – and help you decide what makes sense for your yard and budget.

High Point’s weather and soil create predictable issues for trees:
Here are warning signs to watch for in High Point:
If you see any of these, it’s time to talk to an arborist. We’ll assess on-site and let you know if removal is safer than continued risk.
Understanding timing makes the difference between reactive removals and proactive property safety.
Spring is the time to check for winter damage and remove weak or dead limbs before full growth starts. We often see breakage after winter winds in residential areas near High Point University and Oak Hollow Lake. Early trimming helps trees grow stronger and reduces future safety risks.
Hot and humid summers in High Point speed up tree growth and bring pests like borers. We prune trees to improve airflow and reduce stress before storm season. After strong summer storms, we handle broken branches and storm damage quickly to clear yards and driveways.
Fall is a key season for safety work. Trees slow down and weak limbs become more dangerous during rain and wind. We handle trimming and removals before winter weather arrives, especially in neighborhoods around Skeet Club Road and Eastchester Drive where heavy leaf buildup can hide hazards.
Winter is ideal for removing hazardous trees because branches are easier to inspect without leaves. Ice storms in Guilford County can cause sudden limb failure, so we check for cracks, decay, and weak structures before damage spreads.
We’re proud to serve all of High Point and surrounding Triad communities. That includes areas like Lindley Park, Emerywood, and Oak Hollow, as well as nearby Greensboro and Winston-Salem. You’ll often see our trucks around landmarks like High Point University, Central High School, or Oak Hollow Lake – we’re part of this community.

In emergencies, we aim to be on-site within hours, not days. Many local crews scramble after storms; we prioritize life-safety and property risks. We staff extra teams during predicted severe weather. (We saw in Guilford County that crews were swamped within hours – our goal is to stay ahead of that curve.)
We answer 24/7. For true emergencies (tree touching a house or live power line risk), we often dispatch the same day. We keep a standby crew for High Point so neighbors get help before the problem gets worse.
Timing depends on tree species and reason. Generally, late winter (February–March) is great because trees are dormant, making the work easier and allowing recovery in spring. However, if a tree is already a hazard (leaning, rotting, broken), don’t wait – we’ll remove it safely any time of year.
Key signs include: large dead or hanging branches, visible cracks in the trunk, fungus or mushrooms at the base, significant lean, or roots lifted from the soil. Also, if recent weather (storms or drought) has stressed a tree, give us a call. We evaluate tree health and tell you candidly if removal is the safest option.
If a tree has come down or is partially snapped, yes – call us immediately. If it’s just limbs on the ground away from structures, it can be cleaned up later. But any tree leaning on power lines, homes, or vehicles requires urgent removal. Don’t try to move it yourself; wait for our crew to handle it safely.
