Green Bear Tree Service is a bonded and insured tree care company trusted across Winston-Salem and Forsyth County for professional trimming and pruning. Our team holds ISA Professional Membership and specializes in safe canopy management, structural pruning, and health improvement for all types of trees.
We evaluate every tree for branch density, crown structure, and potential decay before trimming. Winston-Salem sits in the Piedmont, where oak-hickory woodlands dominate, as documented by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, so our crews work daily on willow oaks, water oaks, red maples, and loblolly pines. Every project is performed using safety-certified methods that comply with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations and local tree ordinances.
Our reputation is built on precise workmanship, transparent communication, and reliable scheduling. Many of our trimming and pruning projects come from repeat clients and referrals who value quality, safety, and consistent results.

frequently asked questions
What kinds of trimming do you offer (oaks, maples, crepe myrtles, fruit trees, hedges)?
Everything from oak canopy lifts and roof or driveway clearance to fruit-tree pruning, shaping crepe myrtles, dogwoods, and hollies, storm-damage trims, and selective thinning for sunlight and wind flow.
Is there a “best time of year” to trim?
We trim year-round with species-appropriate timing. We avoid harmful over-pruning (“lion-tailing” or extreme skeletonizing) and follow ANSI A300 pruning standards to support tree health and storm resilience.
Can you trim around power/phone lines and over property lines/HOA setbacks?
Yes, within safety guidelines. We create proper building/driveway clearance, lift canopies to specified heights (e.g., 12’ roadway clearance), and trim to the property line where legally permitted.
Will you remove deadwood and thin the canopy for wind and sun?
Yes. Typical specs include removing dead/diseased wood, raising the lower canopy, selective interior thinning (~15-30% when appropriate), and haul-away with a thorough cleanup.
How do you price trimming and how quickly can you schedule?
Pricing depends on height, density, access, and debris volume. We provide same- or next-day quotes and schedule to meet HOA/utility deadlines when possible.
