Burgaw's courthouse-square streets are lined with massive water oaks, pecans, and pines that tower over 1800s and early-1900s homes, creating some of the most beautiful and challenging tree work in Pender County. When those big oaks start showing rot at the trunk or a hurricane-snapped pine threatens your roof, you need a crew that knows Burgaw's soil, climate, and the trees that define this town.
Wilmington Tree Service has been serving Burgaw (28425) and the surrounding Wilmington area for years. We understand the specific hazards of old water oaks on shallow root systems, the deadwood pruning that keeps those historic trees healthy, and the emergency response homeowners need when a storm hits.
Tree Service in Burgaw (28425)
Burgaw sits on flat coastal-plain ground with deep sandy soil and a high water table. That means the big water oaks and pecans that shade your property often have shallow, spreading root systems vulnerable to rot, wind damage, and the stress of summer drought followed by tropical humidity. Hypoxylon canker, a fungal disease that kills drought-stressed oaks from the inside out, is a real problem here. So are the southern pine beetles and ips beetles that kill loblolly and longleaf pines, especially after a dry spell or hurricane damage weakens them.
We've handled hundreds of jobs in Burgaw: hazard oak removal before a tree fails, deadwood pruning to keep historic oaks alive and safe, emergency removal of storm-damaged pines hanging over roofs and power lines, and stump grinding on tight lots where space is limited. Our team knows how to work around the old homes and narrow streets near the courthouse square, coordinate with HOA rules on visible removals, and navigate the local permit requirements for trees above a certain size.

How a Job Works in Burgaw
You call us at (910) 543-2686 or request a free estimate online. We schedule a time to visit your property, assess the tree, the surrounding structures, power lines, and access. We'll explain what we see, what we recommend, and what it will cost. No surprises, no pressure.
Once you approve, we show up with the right crew and equipment for the job. If it's a removal on a tight lot near the courthouse square or a narrow street in a historic neighborhood, we plan the drop carefully, use rigging if needed, and work around your fence, shed, or neighbor's property. If it's emergency work after a storm, we prioritize safety and get hazardous limbs and fallen trees cleared fast. We grind stumps flush with the ground so you can replant or reclaim the space.
When we're done, we haul away all the debris, clean up the chips and sawdust, and walk the property with you to make sure everything is right. Your yard is left clean and ready to use.
Tree removal in Burgaw typically runs from $800 to $3,500 depending on the size of the tree, species, how close it is to structures or power lines, and whether we need to rig it down in sections. A big water oak or loblolly pine over a roof costs more than a smaller tree in an open yard. Tree trimming and pruning start at $250 for smaller jobs and scale up based on the number of limbs, height, and cleanup. Stump grinding starts at $150 and depends on the stump diameter and how deep you want the grinding. Emergency work after a storm is priced the same way, but we respond fast. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us for a free, no-obligation estimate at (910) 543-2686. We'll give you a real number based on what we see.
