Tree removal in Lincolnton tends to start with one tree that has become a worry. A pine died standing over the shop roof. An old oak off Reepsville Road leans a little harder every wet winter. Or a builder needs six trees off a lot in Boger City before the pad goes in.
We take trees down with machines, working from the base of the trunk on open ground. Our machine tree removal service runs out of Shelby, about 22 miles down NC 150 through Cherryville, and we are in Lincoln County for land clearing in Lincolnton all year.

Lincoln County woods are mostly oak and hickory, with loblolly pine, sweetgum and red maple filling the gaps. Hardwoods cover about 74 percent of Piedmont timberland. The pines still cause the most calls. They die standing after beetles or a dry summer, and a dead pine sheds limbs long before it falls.
Hurricane Helene came through in September 2024 and left broken tops and leaners across the western counties. Some of those trees are still standing with a crack in them. A sweetgum with half its crown gone, or an oak that heaved its roots on the uphill side, should come down on your schedule instead of its own.
Lincoln County had 86,810 people in 2020 and an estimated 98,654 by 2025. Growth pushes over from the Charlotte side, and tracts that sat idle for years are getting split for homesites. Those lots usually carry a few big trees on the footprint. That is machine work, and it goes fast.
An excavator or skid steer takes the tree at the base and lays it where we want it. The work stays on the ground, and the price per tree drops once there are several. Ground here is Cecil red clay, so after a hard rain we may wait a day for it to firm up before the machines roll in.
The wood leaves with us. Grapple trucks load the trunks, limbs and brush, so the yard is clear when we pull out. If you want firewood, we stack the trunks where you say. What stays behind is a stump cut low to the ground.
We grind stumps below grade on a second trip, or pull them with the roots when the spot will carry a slab or a driveway. Stump grinding once the trees are down is its own visit. Fields around the trees that have gone to briar get bush hogging for Lincoln County fields, and when the whole lot has to go, that is a full land clearing job, and LDS Solutions covers Lincoln County for it.

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!
