Epic Tree Services does tree removal, trimming and stump grinding in Apex. In a lot of Apex neighborhoods, trees stand close to houses, driveways, fences, the street and the neighbor’s yard, so we plan each job around what’s next to the tree.
We’re based in Sanford and come out to Apex and western Wake County. Call (919) 551-6842 or fill out the form for a free estimate, and we’ll call you back to set up a visit.
Tree service in Apex, NC
Two trees can look the same from the ground and still be very different jobs. What matters is how we get to them. Gate width, whether we can use the driveway, how close the tree is to the street or the property line, and where we can pile brush and logs all change how we do the work.
When you contact us, send one wide photo that shows the tree with the house, plus a closer one of the problem. That gives us a good picture before we come out.

Tree removal
We remove trees that are dead, damaged, leaning over the house or simply in the wrong spot. On tight lots we often take a tree down in pieces instead of dropping it whole. We’ll explain how we plan to do yours.
Tree trimming and pruning
We trim branches off roofs, gutters and driveways, cut out dead limbs, and clean up storm breaks. Show us which limbs you want gone.
Stump grinding and removal
Leftover stump in the front yard? We grind it down below the grass line. Tell us the size, how many, and whether we have to go through a gate.
Emergency tree service
If a storm drops a tree on your roof, car or driveway, call (919) 551-6842. Keep away from any downed wires and call the power company about them.
Land clearing and crane tree removal
We clear lots and overgrown areas. Mark which trees stay. For a big tree over a house where there’s no room to drop it, a crane may be the safest way, and we’ll tell you after we see it.
What to look for in your estimate
Before you agree to any tree job, your estimate should name:
- The tree, limbs or stump we’re working on
- Why: dead, damaged, leaning or in the way
- What’s nearby that we need to protect: house, roof, driveway, fence, landscaping, street or neighbor’s yard
- Any power lines near the tree, and who contacts the utility company
- How we’ll get in: gate width, driveway access and room to park the truck
- What happens to the brush, logs and chips, and if stump grinding is part of the price
How it works
1. Reach out
Call us or use the form. Give us the address and a quick description of the tree and what’s wrong.
2. Share photos
A wide shot and a close-up are enough. Take them from somewhere safe, not under a cracked limb.
3. We visit
We come over from Sanford to see the tree, check how we’ll get to it, and note what’s around it.
4. You get a free estimate
You’ll know the work, the cleanup and the price before anything gets cut. Ask about anything that isn’t written down.
5. We do the job
When we’re finished, go over the yard with us to make sure it matches the estimate.
Towns we cover around Apex
We also work in nearby towns like Holly Springs, Cary and New Hill. Share your address and we’ll confirm we can come out.

Which job does your tree need?
Don’t just ask us to “fix” a tree. Tell us what’s bothering you. If you want it gone, tell us why. If you want it trimmed, tell us which limbs and how much clearance you need over the roof or driveway. If it’s a stump, tell us how big it is and what you want to do with the spot. If it’s clearing, show us the edges and which trees stay.
If a crane might be needed, we decide that only after we check where the crane can set up, how far it has to reach, and what’s overhead.
Working on tight lots in western Wake County
Many Apex lots don’t have much open space. Before the work day, think about which cars need to move, which gates need to open, which parts of the lawn or landscaping we should stay off of, and where we can stack cut wood. If the tree is near the street, a shared property line or a power line, or your HOA has rules about tree removal, check on that before we schedule.
Cleanup isn’t one thing. Ask whether we’re taking the brush, logs, chips and stump grindings away or leaving them, and whether logs get cut to a length you want. Filling the stump hole, grading and seeding are separate jobs, so ask if they’re included.
Before we start work in Apex
Hold your estimate up against what you told us. It should name the tree, how we’ll get to it, what’s nearby, the work, the cleanup, the stump, the date and the price. If the street, a utility line or your HOA is involved, make sure you know who’s handling it. Move cars, open gates and keep pets and kids away from the trees we’re working on. When we’re done, walk the yard with us and point out anything that doesn’t match.
