What we do
Tree work, start to cleanup
Every job ends the same way: debris hauled, stumps handled, beds raked. Customers say you can't tell we were there.
Tree Removal
Dead, leaning or too close to the house. Taken down piece by piece, lowered with ropes, nothing dropped on what matters.
Pruning & Trimming
Lifting pines off the roof, clearing deadwood, shaping hardwoods. Every cut made with the tree's long-term health in mind.
Crane Services
For the 100-foot pine over the roof or the oak on the house after a storm. Lifted out in sections, set down where we choose.
Stump Grinding
The whole stump ground out, so you can mow, plant or build. Grindings raked out or left as mulch, your call.
Storm & Emergency
Tree on the house, the drive or the power line side of the yard. Call Richard's cell any hour: (910) 690-2059.
Lot & Debris Clearing
Grapple loader and chippers clear brush, downed trees and storm debris fast, with tracks that go easy on turf.
Our equipment
The right machine for every yard
Richard keeps every truck and machine in top shape, because a well-kept rig is a safe one. When a backyard is too tight for a bucket truck, the tracked spider lift fits through the gate and reaches the canopy with far less wear on your lawn.

“Richard and team did a phenomenal job removing trees, grinding stumps and cleaning up my property while respecting the tight areas along property lines for my neighbors. They’re the only service I will be using in Moore County.”
Aaron Pugh · Google
★★★★★
“4 of the trees were extremely close. Mac's did an excellent job of the removal. Price was very competitive, his crew was great and efficient. Clean up great, looked as though they weren't there.”
