Tree Service That Feels Like a Neighbor Helping a Neighbor
A few months back, we got a call from a family near Hope Mills Lake. Big pine tree leaning hard after a storm. The dad said he kept staring at it from the kitchen window, just waiting for it to fall. That is how most calls start. Folks are worried. Trees are beautiful, but when they start acting wild, you need real Tree Service from people who live and work around here.
At Hernandez Cruz Tree Removal & Stump Grinding, we are used to those calls. We pull up, walk the yard, and talk it through like friends. A lot of homes around here have tall pines and older oaks. They look great, but they can get risky fast. We have helped families all over this area feel safe again without making it a big stressful deal.
What We Do Around Here
Tree Trimming
Last spring in Timberlake, a homeowner called because branches were hanging over her driveway. Every time the wind blew, she thought her car would get smashed. Our Tree Trimming crew shaped the canopy, cleared the drive, and let more light hit her lawn. She told us later her grass finally started growing right. Sometimes it is not about cutting everything down, just cleaning it up so the yard can breathe.
Stump Grinding
A family over in Cypress Lakes had this old stump smack in the middle of their backyard. Kids kept tripping on it during football games. We brought in our Stump Grinding equipment and turned that thing into mulch in no time. After that, the yard felt bigger. They even texted us a photo of the new fire pit they put in the same spot.
Yard Cleaning
After heavy rain near Rockfish Road, we did a full Yard Cleaning for a couple who just moved in. Branches, leaves, random debris everywhere. They were overwhelmed. We packed it all up, hauled it off, and suddenly you could see the shape of their property again. It is wild how much better a place feels when it is cleared out.
Tree Pruning Service
We once handled a Tree Pruning Service job for an older oak near the golf course. The tree was healthy but growing in odd directions. We trimmed it back careful and slow. Not hacking, just guiding it. Good pruning helps trees live longer. A lot of folks think pruning is just cosmetic, but it keeps branches from breaking later.
Tree Cutting Service
There are times trimming is not enough. A homeowner close to the lake had a cracked trunk after a storm. That is when our Tree Cutting Service stepped in. We sectioned it down piece by piece, keeping the yard and fence safe. Removing a tree feels like a big moment. We try to respect that and do it clean.
Shrub Trimming
In neighborhoods with neat brick homes and tidy driveways, Shrub Trimming makes a huge difference. One yard off Legion Road had bushes covering half the front windows. After we shaped them up, the house looked twice as bright. Small cuts, big change.
Bush Trimming
Bush Trimming is one of those things people put off. We get it. But when we cleaned up thick overgrown hedges near Elk Road, the homeowner told us she felt proud of her place again. Clean lines, no more blocking the sidewalk. Little upgrades like that can change the whole feel of a home.

Why Folks Around Here Call Us
A lot of homes in this town sit under tall trees. That means shade, yes, but also pine needles, falling limbs, and roots creeping where they should not. People call our Tree Service because they want straight talk. If a tree can be saved, we say so. If it needs to come down, we explain why.
We show up when we say we will. Sounds simple, but it matters. One customer told us the last company never even called back. We may not be fancy, but we answer the phone and we keep our word. That goes a long way in a tight knit place like this.
How Things Usually Go
When someone reaches out, here is how it normally plays out:
- We answer your call or message and set up a time that works for you.
- We come out, walk the property, and listen more than we talk.
- We explain what we see in plain words.
- You get a clear estimate, no weird surprises.
- We schedule the work and get it done safe and clean.
For example, a homeowner near the elementary school called about a tree leaning toward her roof. We checked the roots, tapped the trunk, looked up into the canopy. Turned out it needed removal. We set a date, showed up early, and by lunch the tree was gone and the yard raked clean. She later told us she finally slept easy during storms.
