Tree Work - October 2009 - 213 Langley Lane, Manteo, NC

Out of lots of pine trees on our lot we had only one long-leaf type. Unfortunately, it was killed due to a beetle infestation. Phelps Tree Service (Creswell, NC) did an excellent job of removing it for us. The tree was very close to the house and surrounded by other trees we wanted to keep. The crew brought in a bucket-truck, topped the dead tree, and then took it completely out. They hauled off debris, ground out the stump, brought in fill, and left the site in great condition. It was a job well done!

Guys from Phelps Tree Service stopped work just long enough for me to get a quick picture once the tree was down.

All cleaned up -- can't even tell where the tree used to be. Great job!
