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
- Call (252) 814-8409. Say what fell and what it hit. Send a photo if you can.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
