Tree removal in Gastonia is usually about one bad tree. A dead pine stands over the roof line. An oak leans a little more every wet winter. Storm wind snaps a sweetgum halfway up and leaves the top hanging. You want it down before it picks its own day to fall.
We handle tree removal with machines, working from the base of the trunk on open ground. The tree comes down where we want it, gets cut up and leaves on our trucks. We run out of Shelby, about 22 miles west on US 74, and we already do clearing work around Gastonia every season.

The woods here run to loblolly and shortleaf pine, sweetgum, red oak and hickory. Pines cause the most calls. They grow fast, die standing when beetles or drought get them, and a dead pine sheds limbs long before it falls. Sweetgum and water oak grow big in the older neighborhoods and drop weight in ice storms.
Around York-Chester and Gardner Park the trees are often older than the houses. A trunk three feet through the middle is normal there. On the southeast side, along Union Road and New Hope Road, the calls are different. Builders and owners want wooded corners of a lot opened up before a build.
Yes. Machine size gets matched to the lot. In the older blocks, where fences sit close and yards are narrow, a compact machine with a grapple does the work. Bigger ground toward Crowders Mountain gives the excavator room. Working from the ground keeps control of where every piece lands.
Inside the city we haul instead of burn. Trunks and limbs get cut up, loaded with the grapple and taken away, and the yard gets left clean. If the job turns out to need a climbing crew over a structure, we say so at the estimate and you keep your options.
The wood leaves with us. Grapple trucks carry off the trunks, limbs and brush, so there is no pile smoldering in the yard for a month. What stays behind is the stump, and you have two ways to deal with it. We grind it below grade, or we pull it with the roots when you plan to build on the spot.
Stump grinding in Gastonia is its own trip and its own page. Whole wooded sections come off a property the same way, one machine pass at a time. When the trees, brush and roots all need to go at once, that is land clearing, and we cover Gastonia for that too.
Straight from the landowners we've cleared, graded and dug for.
Highly recommend Dewey and the team at LDS Solutions! They have done phenomenal work for us at Wallace Haven LLC clearing downed and dying trees, cleaning up overgrown areas, and helping transform our property. They've been dependable, hardworking, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish.
We couldn't be happier with the work this crew did on our property! They handled land clearing, forestry mulching, brush hogging, and even some skid steer and excavator work. The land clearing and mulching made such a huge difference; it looks like a whole new space now. We'll definitely be using them again!
Hurricane Helene took down many of our trees, preventing us from enjoying our space by the creek. These folks came, developed a plan, reviewed it with me, provided a fair price, and restored my access to the woods and creek. They also left the property spotless once the project was completed. CLEAN!
Dewey came to my home in Shelby. He used his forestry mulcher and cleared my back yard and fence line. He also removed all the roots and vines running up on my house. Before, I could not see my fence or shed. I recommend anyone to use him and his services.
I fought a yard slope for our above ground pool for a few years now. Dewey showed up and solved it all within a day and the grading is top notch. 100% recommended!
Dewey forestry mulched for 11 days. They also excavated and dug out two 24 inch culvert pipes to allow us access on land. Amazing job, highly recommended to anyone needing work done! On time every day and under budget!
These guys do great work at a great price! Thank you!
