Big trees, steep lots, careful hands

Blue Ridge Canopy removes, prunes, and saves trees on mountain lots where a crane can't always reach. Our climbers rig every limb down instead of dropping it on your roof, and an ISA arborist walks every job first. This is a demo, not a real tree service.

Removal estimate

What will it cost to take it down?

Tree removal prices depend on height, what's underneath it, and how much wood you want left behind. Use the estimator for a ballpark; your arborist confirms the exact price on a free walk-through, usually within three days.

  • Written fixed price before work starts
  • Lawn mats under every chipper and truck path
  • Firewood bucked to 16 in. on request at no charge
  • Neighbor notice handled when we need their side

    Removal permits

    Do you need a permit to remove it?

    Some Asheville lots need tree-protection review before a large tree comes down, especially in steep-slope and ridgetop zones, and many HOAs want a signed request. Answer three questions for a quick read. We pull or prepare the paperwork for you either way.

    General guidance for this demo only. Rules vary by parcel; we verify with the city, county, or HOA before every removal.

    “A 90-foot white pine leaning toward our bedroom. They rigged every piece down over the roof and didn't crack a shingle.”

    — Holly, West Asheville

    “Ana talked us out of removing an oak and pruned it instead. Saved us $2,000 and the shade.”

    — Dev, Weaverville

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Will my homeowner's insurance pay for removal?

    Usually only when a tree falls on a covered structure. We send dated photos and an itemized invoice your adjuster can use.

    Do you work near power lines?

    We handle service drops to your house. For main distribution lines, we coordinate with Duke Energy first.

    How deep do you grind stumps?

    6 to 8 inches below grade, enough to seed grass or lay sod. Deeper grinding for planting is available.
