Tree service for Midland and Locust — acreage homes on the Rocky River side
Southern Cabarrus and the Stanly line: bigger lots, taller pines, older oaks, and the Reed Gold Mine woods. We clear it, prune it and take down what's leaning.
Midland and Locust sit along Highway 24/27 where Cabarrus County runs into Stanly County — the countryside that gold miners worked after the first documented gold find in the United States at Reed's farm in 1799. Today it's acreage subdivisions, horse properties and new homes on one- to five-acre lots cut from the same loblolly pine and hardwood woods, with the Rocky River and its creeks running through the low ground.
The jobs here are bigger than in town: a row of 100-foot pines leaning over a new house, a farmyard oak that has finally started to shed limbs, three acres of pine and privet to reclaim for pasture, or a building site to clear before the well driller and the septic crew arrive. We bring the forestry mulcher, the crane when a big tree stands over a roof, and an arborist who'd rather keep a good oak than sell you a removal.

Questions from Midland & Locust homeowners
Do you clear land for new homes in Midland and Locust?
Yes — it's a big part of our work down here. Mulching for the brush and small pines, felling and hauling the big timber, stumps out of the pad, driveway and septic field, and the good oaks fenced off so the builder's equipment stays off the roots.
Are there permits for clearing acreage?
Clearing tied to a building permit is reviewed with the site plan; larger land disturbance triggers county erosion-control permitting; stream buffers along the Rocky River and its creeks are protected. Cutting a few trees around an existing house needs none of that. We'll tell you where your job falls.
Can you leave the wood?
Gladly. Oak and hickory cut to rounds and stacked, pine to rounds for outdoor fires, or timber-size logs left for a sawyer. On a big clearing we can also arrange a log buyer.
How much does it cost to take down a row of tall pines?
For four to eight pines along a property line, usually $3,000 to $9,000 depending on what they lean toward. A single leaning pine over the house runs $1,200 to $2,600.
