Tree service for Mint Hill and Matthews — southeast Charlotte's tree-lined towns
Sixty thousand people in two towns that kept their trees: 1970s–90s subdivisions under willow oaks and loblolly pines, historic downtown Matthews, and Mint Hill's acreage toward Union County. Twenty-five minutes down 485.
Mint Hill and Matthews sit on the southeast side of Charlotte, about 25 miles from Concord around I-485, and they grew the way the north side did: subdivisions cut into oak and pine woods from the 1970s to the 2000s, with the trees left standing. Matthews has a historic downtown of 1900s houses along Trade Street and the mature neighborhoods of Sardis Road and Weddington Road; Mint Hill is bigger lots — Lawyers Road, Bain School Road, Wilgrove — and acreage toward Union County. The willow oaks are 60 to 80 feet, the loblolly pines are taller and shallow-rooted, the water oaks and Bradford pears are failing on schedule, and every subdivision has an HOA. Charlotte's tree ordinance applies to the annexed pockets; each town has its own rules for public trees.
We cover Mint Hill and Matthews with the crews that work University City and Harrisburg: willow oak pruning to ANSI A300, cabling for the limbs over houses, pine and oak removals by crane where there's no drop zone, water oak and Bradford pear removals, stump grinding, lot clearing on the Mint Hill acreage, and storm cleanup staged for the town haulers. Free estimates, HOA submittals prepared, and a firm date because it's the far side of the metro.

Questions from Mint Hill & Matthews homeowners
Are Mint Hill and Matthews really in your service area?
Yes — the far side of the metro, about 25 miles around 485. Our University City crews reach them, we group southeast jobs, and we give you a firm date and keep it.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Matthews or Mint Hill?
Usually not for a tree in your own yard. Each town regulates public and development trees, and Charlotte's ordinance applies to annexed pockets. We check and tell you honestly.
Does my HOA have to approve a removal?
In most subdivisions, yes — usually with an arborist's letter. We prepare it with the estimate.
The pine leans toward the house — how urgent?
A loblolly that leans, has a lifting root plate or has lost its top is a removal, and the sooner the better before the next ice storm.
Can you clear acreage in Mint Hill?
Yes — selective clearing, stumps ground below grade, lot left build-ready.
