What we do

Tree work, start to cleanup

Every job ends the same way: debris hauled, stumps handled, beds raked. Customers say you can't tell we were there.

Our equipment

The right machine for every yard

Richard keeps every truck and machine in top shape, because a well-kept rig is a safe one. When a backyard is too tight for a bucket truck, the tracked spider lift fits through the gate and reaches the canopy with far less wear on your lawn.

“Richard and team did a phenomenal job removing trees, grinding stumps and cleaning up my property while respecting the tight areas along property lines for my neighbors. They’re the only service I will be using in Moore County.”

Aaron Pugh · Google

★★★★★

“4 of the trees were extremely close. Mac's did an excellent job of the removal. Price was very competitive, his crew was great and efficient. Clean up great, looked as though they weren't there.”
