If you own a home in Wilmington, Leland, Ogden, or anywhere along the Cape Fear Coast, you already know the trees here are massive, beautiful, and occasionally a serious problem.
Tree removal in coastal NC typically costs $350 to $2,800, with most residential jobs landing around $800 to $1,400.
What Drives the Cost
- Small tree (under 30 ft): $350 to $650
- Medium tree (30 to 60 ft): $650 to $1,200
- Large tree (60 to 80 ft): $1,200 to $1,900
- Very large (80+ ft): $1,900 to $2,800+
Why Coastal NC Is Different
Sandy soil does not anchor trees the way Piedmont clay does. Salt air along the Intracoastal and Wrightsville Beach weakens trees faster than you would expect. And storms like Florence, Dorian, and Isaias leave lasting internal damage that is not visible from the street.
Trees over rooflines in Landfall, Porters Neck, or Masonboro require extra precision — expect 25 to 40% more for tight access jobs.
Common Trees We Remove
| Tree | Height | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Loblolly Pine | 60 to 100 ft | $900 to $2,200 |
| Water Oak | 40 to 70 ft | $700 to $1,500 |
| Live Oak | 30 to 60 ft | $800 to $1,800 |
| Crepe Myrtle | 15 to 25 ft | $300 to $550 |
Leland and Brunswick County jobs typically run 5 to 15% lower than Wilmington proper.
