Storm Cleanup & Tree Removal in Charlotte, NC – A Trusted Team in Action
After a severe storm swept through Charlotte, NC, one homeowner found themselves with a massive Red Oak on their garage, a cracked Water Oak looming over their deck, and a yard full of dangerously leaning Cedars. Thankfully, Schneider Tree Care—was ready to help.
A trusted name in the Carolinas, Schneider Tree Care provides expert-level tree services, including emergency removals, pruning, trimming, and long-term tree health assessments with certified arborists and safety-trained crews.
The Goal: Restore Safety After Storm Damage
The client’s main priority was to safely remove a fallen Red Oak that had landed on their garage, clear damaged trees throughout the yard, and address a large Water Oak threatening their deck. Immediate danger was handled fast—and the rest of the work followed with precision and professionalism.
How Schneider Tree Care Tackled the Job
When ISA-Certified Arborist John Grizzle arrived, the first priority was safety. A massive Red Oak had pinned down the garage roof. The crew stabilized the area, cleared debris, and ensured safe vehicle access.
1. Emergency Response
John and his team responded within hours of the call. Immediate threats were handled first to prevent further structural damage or injury.
2. Tree Clearing
Within days, the team returned to remove eight leaning Cedars and a large Red Maple. All debris was hauled off and ground to minimize disruption to the yard.
3. Water Oak Rescue
Instead of removing the entire Water Oak overhanging the deck, the team preserved it by removing only the compromised section, ensuring the tree’s health and homeowner safety.
“This review is long-overdue but needs to be shared. Schneider Tree Care has taken care of our trees for years – they are family to us. John Grizzle and the crews—Kevin, Isaiah, Z., Squirrel, Avery, and Jackson—were fast, professional, and relentless. We’re so grateful for their work!” — A Charlotte Homeowner
Why It Mattered
- Multiple Threats: Three tree species posed unique challenges—from heavy hardwoods to fast-growing Cedars.
- Rapid Turnaround: Within hours of the call, the crew was onsite handling urgent needs. Follow-up removal happened within days.
- Tree Preservation: Rather than take out the entire Water Oak, Schneider’s team saved it by removing only the dangerous section.
Never attempt to remove storm-damaged trees on your own. Even partially fallen limbs can snap, swing, or collapse unpredictably. Certified arborists have the gear and knowledge to do it right.
After major storms, always inspect large trees near your home for cracks, root exposure, or leaning. Subtle damage today can become a serious hazard tomorrow.
