What Our Winston-Salem Tree Service Clients Are Saying
Our greatest achievement is our happy clientele. We’ve served dozens of clients in the Winston-Salem area, gathered hundreds of 5-star reviews and shown that our work speaks for itself. Don’t take our word for it, hear what our clients have to say!
We had a company we’d used before, but getting them to come out turned into a frustrating process—we practically had to beg. After multiple attempts, we knew it was time to find a company we could truly rely on.
We had several companies come out, but GREEN BEAR stood out immediately. They showed up promptly—exactly when they said they would. From the moment Eric (the owner) arrived, we were impressed. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine personality made a huge difference. He even took a few minutes to connect with our 4-year-old, which meant a lot to us as a family.
The day before the job, they confirmed a 7:30 AM arrival—and they actually showed up early. That level of reliability is rare these days.
Julio, the foreman, introduced himself right away, walked us through the plan, and set clear expectations. Throughout the job, communication was excellent. At one point, he came to let us know they discovered a large ant infestation inside one of our trees. He explained what they could do now and gave honest guidance about what we might need to address next year. That kind of transparency builds trust.
In just a little over 4 hours, this incredible team:
* Removed two large trees
* Trimmed a massive Pin Oak
* Completed additional trimming
* Took care of three stump removals
And when I say they cleaned up—I mean spotless. They put everything back exactly where it was, like they had never even been there. See photos attached with clean up.
What stood out just as much as the results was the teamwork. Even with language differences, it was clear this crew operates like a well-oiled machine. You can tell they take pride in their work, respect each other, and truly care about doing things the right way.
And here’s the part that really blew me away—
They accidentally cut our dog fence during the job… and immediately fixed it. No excuses, no hassle. That alone saved us about $275.
That’s integrity. That’s professionalism. That’s GREEN BEAR.
If you’re looking for top-quality tree work from a team that is reliable, skilled, honest, and genuinely kind—GO WITH GREEN BEAR.
We will absolutely be using them again.

frequently asked questions
Can you remove large or dangerous trees?
Yes, we specialize in large and hazardous tree removals. Our experienced climbers and advanced equipment allow us to safely remove trees in tight or risky spaces without damaging your property.
How much does tree service cost?
Costs depend on the size, type, and location of the tree, as well as the service required. After a free on-site assessment, we’ll provide a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees.
Do homeowners pay for tree removal?
Yes, homeowners typically pay for removing trees on their property. However, if a neighbor’s tree falls onto your land, your home insurance may cover the cleanup, depending on the cause. Green Bear Tree Service can assist with insurance claims and provide documentation when needed.
What is the cheapest time of year for tree removal?
The late fall and winter months (November–February) are often the most affordable times for tree removal in North Carolina. Demand is lower, and trees are dormant, making removal easier and sometimes cheaper. Ask us about seasonal discounts during these months.
What is the law on neighbor’s trees in North Carolina?
Under North Carolina property law, you can trim or remove branches from your neighbor’s tree only up to your property line, as long as you don’t harm the tree. If a neighbor’s tree causes damage to your property, they may be liable only if proven negligent. We recommend professional pruning to avoid disputes and damage.
What is the fastest-growing tree in North Carolina?
Some of the fastest-growing trees in the Winston-Salem area include Loblolly Pine, Tulip Poplar, Red Maple, and River Birch. These species thrive in local soil and climate conditions, offering shade and privacy quickly when properly cared for.
