what our customers are saying

“They were excellent. I would definitely recommend them to others. They were prompt; I showed them what I wanted before they started working and they were very conscientious about writing what I wanted done. They had my list and just started doing it. I called several others but they did not come; they were either all busy or not interested. I was very satisfied with everything; they did everything that I wanted them to. Another thing I liked was that they just came and started working instead of talking.

“Imperial Landscaping is a First Class landscaping company and I HIGHLY recommend them. From the initial consultation I knew exactly what the costs would be and also the timeline. The crew arrived promptly at the agreed upon time and worked tirelessly to complete our project – and it was a big one. They were professional, courteous and eager to please us. I encourage anyone who needs landscaping to consider this company. You are sure to be pleased with their work. They did an outstanding job for us and we will use them again.”

“We are delighted with James and Imperial Landscaping. After having another landscaping company completely miss an estimate appointment (twice), Imperial scheduled a time, confirmed the appointment the morning of, and even showed up early. They gave us a couple options to work with, and then promptly returned the next day to complete the job. They did a fantastic job, we admire our new garden bed (that has also solved drainage problems) every day and we look forward to using them again soon!”

Tree Trimming

A well-manicured landscape makes a powerful first impression. Our tree trimming service is focused on the aesthetic upkeep of your trees and hedges. We shape your greenery to maintain a size and form that complements your landscape design, enhances views, and ensures functional clearance.

The benefits of regular trimming include:

Enhanced Curb Appeal: Neatly shaped trees and formal hedges create a polished, clean appearance.
Necessary Clearance: We trim branches to ensure they remain clear of your roof, gutters, windows, and overhead utility lines.
Growth Management: Regular maintenance helps control the size of fast-growing species, preventing them from overwhelming your yard or other plants.

Tree Pruning

Effective pruning is a cornerstone of long-term tree health. Unlike simple trimming, our tree pruning services focus on the structural integrity and vitality of the plant. We make precise, strategic cuts to remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches. This process improves sunlight penetration and air circulation through the canopy, which naturally reduces the risk of fungal diseases.

Our pruning process includes:

Structural Pruning: We guide the tree’s growth to develop a strong central trunk and well-spaced branches, minimizing the risk of splitting during high winds or ice storms.
Deadwooding: The removal of dead or dying limbs is a critical safety measure, preventing them from falling and causing injury or property damage.
Canopy Thinning: By selectively removing branches, we reduce the tree’s overall weight and wind resistance, making it more resilient in severe weather.

Tree Removal

While our primary goal is always to preserve healthy trees, there are times when removal is the only responsible option. A dead, dying, or structurally compromised tree poses a serious threat to your home, vehicles, power lines, and personal safety. Our tree removal service is performed with meticulous planning and an unwavering focus on safety. We specialize in handling complex removals in confined spaces, ensuring no damage to the surrounding property.

Situations that often require tree removal include:

Advanced Disease or Decay: Trees with significant trunk rot, fungal infections, or compromised root systems.
Severe Storm Damage: Trees that have been irreparably harmed by lightning, wind, or ice.
Encroachment: Trees growing too close to building foundations, underground utilities, or other structures.
Landscape Renovations: Clearing land for new construction, additions, or to provide necessary sunlight for other parts of your landscape.

Tree Planting

Planting a tree is a gift to the future, but its success depends on proper installation. Our tree planting services go far beyond just digging a hole. We apply the “Right Plant, Right Place” philosophy, helping you select a species that is perfectly suited for your property’s soil, light conditions, and available space.

Our professional planting process involves:

Site and Species Selection: We analyze your landscape to recommend trees that will thrive and meet your aesthetic goals.
Correct Installation: We plant at the proper depth and create a wide planting hole to encourage strong root establishment, preventing common issues like girdling roots.
Aftercare Guidance: We provide essential mulching and detailed watering instructions to help your new tree avoid transplant shock and establish itself quickly.

Tree Stump Removal & Stump Grinding

After a tree is removed, the stump remains. This leftover wood is not only an eyesore but also a tripping hazard and a magnet for pests like termites and ants. We offer two effective solutions: tree stump removal and tree stump grinding.

Tree Stump Grinding Service: This is our most common and efficient method. We use a powerful stump grinder to shred the stump and major roots into small wood chips, grinding down to well below the ground surface. This allows you to immediately add topsoil and plant grass or small shrubs.
Tree Stump Removal Service: This more intensive process involves excavating the entire stump and major root ball from the ground. It is typically necessary only when preparing an area for new construction or a foundation where the ground must be completely clear of obstructions.

Emergency Tree Removal

Storms in North Carolina can be unpredictable and destructive. When a tree falls on your home, car, or blocks your driveway, you need help immediately. Our emergency tree removal service is available to address these urgent and often dangerous situations. Our team responds quickly to assess the hazard, safely remove the fallen tree or broken limbs, and help secure your property. We have the expertise and equipment to handle emergencies safely and efficiently, minimizing further damage.
