About CLT Grapple & Stump Grinding Services

Our fleet is built around hydraulic knuckle-boom grapple trucks — the same heavy equipment most tree companies subcontract when a job gets big. That capacity is why a downed willow oak or a full storm route that would take a manual crew days clears in a single afternoon, with the logs and brush hauled off the same visit instead of sitting at the curb for a week.

Behind the machinery is a trained, uniformed crew that works to recognized industry practice — ANSI A300 for pruning cuts and ANSI Z133 for the safety side of climbing, rigging, chainsaw, and aerial-lift work. We plan fall zones, protect roofs and driveways, and read the lean and root plate before a saw ever starts, because on Charlotte’s saturated red clay a leaning tree behaves nothing like it does on dry ground.

We are deliberate about what we promise. When a tree can be saved with pruning or a cable, we say so; when removal is the honest answer, we explain why and put every line item — removal, stump grinding, hauling, cleanup — in a written scope you can compare against any other quote. No fake prices, no pressure, no vague “total cleanup” language that means nothing on paper.

And when a storm hits, we do not disappear. As a local, insured Charlotte company we answer the emergency line 24/7, document the damage for your insurer, and stand behind the work long after the out-of-town crews have moved on to the next city.
