Tree Service That Feels Like It Belongs Here
A few months back, we were helping a family over near Tanglewood. A big pine had split after one of those heavy summer storms that roll through so fast. The dad told us he kept putting off calling a Tree Service because he thought it would be a hassle. By the end of the day, the tree was down, the yard was safe, and his kids were back outside riding bikes like nothing happened.
That is the kind of work we love doing. At Hernandez Cruz Tree Removal & Stump Grinding, we are not just showing up with chainsaws. We are showing up to help neighbors feel safe in their own yards again. Working here has taught us that trees are part of daily life. They shade cookouts, hang over driveways, and sometimes fall at the worst time.
Help With Trees Around Town
Tree Trimming
Last spring in Carolina Terrace, we handled some Tree Trimming for a homeowner whose oak branches were brushing the roof every time the wind blew. He said the scratching noise kept him up at night. We climbed up, thinned the canopy, and shaped it so air could move through. Now the tree looks better and his roof is not taking a beating every storm.
Stump Grinding
Over near the Luther Britt Park area, a family had an old stump right in the middle of their backyard. The kids kept tripping over it during football games. Our Stump Grinding crew came out and turned that hard chunk of wood into mulch in no time. It felt good watching those kids run across a smooth yard again.
Yard Cleaning
After hurricane season, Yard Cleaning becomes a big deal around here. In Mayfair, we helped a woman who had limbs and debris scattered everywhere. She told us she felt overwhelmed just looking at it. We hauled off the mess, raked it clean, and stacked usable firewood neatly. Sometimes cleaning up is just as important as cutting.
Tree Pruning Service
A local church near downtown called us for a Tree Pruning Service because their decorative trees were growing uneven and blocking the sign out front. Careful pruning is not just about looks. It helps the tree grow strong and healthy. After we shaped them up, the front lawn looked open and welcoming again.
Tree Cutting Service
In the Pinecrest neighborhood, we handled a full Tree Cutting Service for a tall sweetgum that was leaning toward a garage. The owner was nervous every time the wind picked up. We mapped out a safe drop zone, took it down section by section, and cleared it out without touching the structure. Sometimes removal is the safest call.
Shrub Trimming
Shrub Trimming might sound small, but it changes how a home feels. A couple near West Lumberton wanted their front walk to look neat before hosting family. The hedges had grown wild and blocked the sidewalk. We trimmed them back evenly and cleaned the edges. It made the whole place look cared for.
Bush Trimming
Bush Trimming is something we get asked about a lot in older neighborhoods where landscaping has been there for decades. One yard had thick bushes growing into the driveway. After trimming them back and shaping them up, parking became easy again. Small fixes can make everyday life smoother.

Why Folks Around Here Call Us
We think it comes down to trust. When someone calls for Tree Service, they are usually dealing with something heavy, tall, and risky. That takes skill and steady hands. We show up when we say we will. We explain what we see in simple words. And we clean up before we leave.
A homeowner once told us she picked our company because we did not try to scare her into cutting down every tree. We gave options. Some trees just need shaping. Some need removal. Being honest matters here. Word travels fast in a close community like this.
How Things Usually Go
When someone calls us from around town, here is how it normally plays out:
- We answer your call and listen to what is going on.
- We come out and take a look at the tree or yard.
- We explain what we recommend and give a clear price.
- We set a day, show up ready, and get to work.
That is it. Nothing fancy. If you are near Tanglewood or closer to downtown by the Robeson County courthouse, we treat the job the same way. We also point folks to our FAQ section if they want more detail before booking. Most jobs are done in a day, and we always haul debris off unless you want to keep the wood.
Neighborhoods We Spend A Lot Of Time In
We do a lot of work in Mayfair. The lots there have mature trees that have been growing for years. They are beautiful, but they need care. We have trimmed tall pines and cleaned up storm damage more times than we can count.
Carolina Terrace has many older homes with large front yards. Big shade trees are common there. We have handled careful pruning so branches stay clear of power lines and roofs.
In Pinecrest, we often see leaning trees after heavy rain. The soil can get soft, and roots shift. Catching those early can save a lot of stress later.
We have also helped families near the Lumber River where moisture and storms shape how trees grow. Living close to water is nice, but it can be tough on certain species.
