Emergency Tree Service in Greenville

Cherry's Tree Service bucket truck removing a tall pine over a home in Greenville, NC

Trees do not fall on schedule. They come down at midnight in a thunderstorm, on a Sunday during a hurricane, or on a clear Tuesday when a rotten oak finally gives up. When it happens, you need somebody who will answer the phone, tell you what to do right now, and come.

Cherry’s Tree Service is open 24 hours for emergencies across Greenville, Winterville, Ayden, Farmville, and Wilson. Matthew Bryan answers his own phone. He is fully insured, he has the bucket truck, the rigging, and the saws to get a tree off a house safely in the dark, and he will tell you the price before he starts. Call or text (252) 814-8409.

What’s Included

  • Trees and limbs lifted off houses, garages, sheds, and vehicles
  • Trees blocking driveways, roads, and access cut and cleared
  • Cracked, leaning, and hung up trees taken down before they fall on their own
  • Temporary roof tarping after the tree is off, if the roofer cannot come yet
  • Photos and itemized invoice for your insurance claim
  • Full cleanup and haul off, or cut and stack for county pickup after big storms

Our Process

  1. Call (252) 814-8409. Say what fell and what it hit. Send a photo if you can.
  2. Safety first. Matthew tells you what to stay away from. If a power line is involved, the power company gets called before anyone touches the tree.
  3. On site. He assesses whether the tree is stable enough to wait for daylight or has to come off now, and gives you the price.
  4. Rig it off. The tree comes off in pieces, each one held by rope or bucket before it is cut, so nothing else gets crushed.
  5. Secure and document. Roof tarped if needed, photos taken, invoice written for the adjuster.

Signs It Cannot Wait

  • Any tree or limb resting on the roof, even if the roof looks fine from outside
  • A tree hung up in another tree or on a power line
  • A fresh lean, or soil heaving up on one side of the trunk after a storm
  • A crack running down the trunk or through a fork
  • A limb hanging by bark over a driveway, walkway, or play area

What It Costs

Emergency work is priced by what has to be done, plus a premium for nights and holidays. The tree on the roof that has to be craned off is the top of the range; a limb across the driveway that just needs cutting and clearing is the bottom. You get the price on site before the saw starts, and everything is documented for insurance when a structure was hit.

“Matthew came out quickly and was very professional. I had 3 stumps ground. Matthew did them quickly and left the areas clean and tidy. He also answered my questions on how to handle the areas now that the trees were gone. I would absolutely have Cherry's tree service back.”

Emergency Tree Service Questions

What counts as a tree emergency?

A tree or big limb on the house, garage, or car. A tree blocking the driveway or road. A tree cracked, leaning, or hung up in another tree over something it will damage when it falls. A limb tangled in the power drop to the house. If it will get worse or hurt someone before morning, it is an emergency. If it is ugly but stable, it can wait for a regular estimate and cost less.

Does emergency work cost more?

Night and holiday calls carry a premium because they mean getting out of bed and working with lights. The bigger cost driver is what the tree hit and how it has to be rigged off. Matthew tells you the price before he starts, even at 2 a.m.

Will you work with my insurance company?

Yes. You get an itemized invoice and before and after photos, which is what adjusters ask for. Matthew has done plenty of insurance jobs after storms in Pitt County.

How fast can you get here?

On a normal night, fast. After a hurricane, when every tree service in the county is booked, trees on houses go first and everything else in order. Matthew gives you a real time on the phone, not a guess to get the job.
