What homeowners say about our work
5.0 out of 5 from 91 reviews on Google.
James was absolutely amazing! 100/10 on communication and wonderful work ethic. He made it super easy to schedule a time for him to take down a tree of ours.
James and his team did a wonderful job taking down a Bradford pear tree that was dangerously leaning over our house. They worked very quickly and efficiently to remove the tree and clean up all the debris. His pricing was very fair and competitive. I would highly recommend them and we will be using them again for any future tree work needed.
This is undoubtedly one of the best tree-cutting companies in the business. The team was extremely professional, provided valuable guidance based on their expertise, and completed the work swiftly and accurately; the results were phenomenal. I highly recommend them for all tree cutting services.

About Lot & Land Clearing
Common questions and tips from our work with Greensboro customers.
When is the best time to clear land for a build?
Late summer through winter is usually the smartest window in Greensboro. Growth has slowed, the ground is drier and firmer for equipment, and clearing before spring gives stumps and roots months to settle before excavation or fencing. Clearing in dry conditions also leaves less rutting, so the finished surface needs less cleanup and regrading.
How far ahead of construction should I clear my lot?
Plan on clearing at least a few weeks before any contractor breaks ground. Stumps and ground debris need to be out of the footprint, and the soil benefits from time to dry and settle after equipment passes over it. For a fence line, clearing two to four weeks ahead lets your installer set posts along an unobstructed run.
Can you clear just a sight line instead of the whole lot?
Yes. Not every job needs a full tract cleared. We can open a targeted strip along a driveway, cut back growth blocking a view at a corner or entrance, or clear a single fence run. Flagging the exact width and edges before cutting starts keeps the work limited to what you actually want opened up.
Mark property lines before clearing starts
Before any clearing crew works a Greensboro lot, confirm where your boundary sits. A survey pin or recent plat beats a guess, since clearing is not something you can undo if a fence line or build pad runs onto a neighbor's ground. Walk the edges with the crew on day one and agree on the cut line before the first saw starts.
Clear the fence line, not the whole yard
If the goal is a new fence or driveway, clearing a band a few feet wider than the planned work area is usually enough. It keeps mature trees and shade where you want them and cuts the cost and debris volume. We can show you the minimum footprint needed and clear only that.
Answers before you book
How much does tree removal or lawn care cost in Greensboro, NC?
Every job is priced on its own details. For trees, that means size, condition, lean, how close it sits to structures, and how much cleanup is involved. For lawn work, it comes down to property size, current condition, and how often you want service. You get a clear written estimate before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
How do I get an estimate from Your Way Lawn and Tree?
Call (336) 338-9057 or reach out through the website. We schedule a time to look at the property in person, walk the job with you, and talk through what you want done. After that visit you get a written estimate with the full scope spelled out: what gets done, what gets hauled off, and what it costs.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Greensboro and work across the surrounding area: High Point, Kernersville, Jamestown, Colfax, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Stokesdale, McLeansville, Whitsett, Gibsonville, and Burlington. If you're near one of those towns, call and we'll confirm we can get to you and set up a visit.
How soon can you schedule my job?
It depends on the season and the type of work. Routine lawn visits usually get on the calendar quickly. Tree removals and storm cleanup can fill up faster, especially after weather events. The best move is to call early with your address and a description of the job so we can give you a realistic timeframe.
What should I do to prepare for tree removal day?
Clear the area around the tree as best you can. Move vehicles, grills, patio furniture, and anything fragile away from the drop zone and the path to the street. If you have pets, keep them inside or secured. We handle the rest, including rope or rigging setup, cutting, and hauling off the debris.
Do you clean up the debris when the job is done?
Cleanup is part of every job. Branches get run through the chipper or loaded and hauled away, stumps get ground below grade when that's on the estimate, and lawn areas get blown clear. When we pull away, the yard should look worked, not wrecked. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every property in Greensboro and the surrounding towns.
What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
People use the words interchangeably, and either way the goal is a healthier, better-shaped tree. We follow ANSI A300 pruning standards: removing deadwood, thinning crowded limbs, cutting back to the branch collar, and reducing weight on heavy or overextended limbs so they don't split. The result depends on what the tree needs, not on a one-size-fits-all cut.
When should I schedule a seasonal yard cleanup?
Fall is the big one, when leaf removal and a final mowing set the lawn up for winter. Early spring is the other common window, clearing winter debris and getting beds ready for fresh mulch. Either way, we handle the leaves, sticks, and overgrowth so you're starting the season with a yard that's actually ready.
Can you grind out a stump after removing a tree?
Yes. Stump grinding is a separate line item because it takes different equipment than removal. We grind the stump below grade so you can mow over the spot or reseed it, then clear away the grindings. If you're combining it with a removal, it's easiest to add it to the same estimate.
What happens on the day of a lawn maintenance visit?
The crew mows at the height that fits the season, trims and edges along walks, driveways, and beds, then blows the hard surfaces clean before leaving. If you're on a maintenance plan, we rotate through on a schedule you set, so the lawn stays consistent without you having to think about it.
