Your Local Tree Service Team
A few months back, we got a call from a family near West Hoke Elementary. Big oak in the front yard, leaning just enough to make them nervous every time the wind picked up. The dad told us he kept staring at it before bed. Not a great way to sleep. Thats the kind of stuff we handle every week with our Tree Service work around town. At Hernandez Cruz Tree Removal & Stump Grinding, we live for helping families feel safe in their own yard again.
Out here, trees grow big and fast. Between summer storms and soft soil, it doesnt take much for a healthy looking tree to turn into a problem. Weve helped folks all over Raeford, NC after rough weather rolled through and left branches everywhere. Its messy. Its stressful. But it can be fixed.
Tree work we handle around here
Tree Trimming
Last spring in Wedgefield, a homeowner called about limbs hanging low over her driveway. School bus couldnt even get through without brushing leaves. We came out for simple Tree Trimming, cleaned up the canopy, and now her yard looks open and bright again. Regular trimming keeps trees strong and helps stop bigger problems later.
Stump Grinding
We did a Stump Grinding job near the golf course after a pine was removed the year before. The stump just sat there, kids tripping over it, mower hitting it every week. Grinding it down gave them their yard back. Its such a small thing but makes a huge diff in how your lawn feels.
Yard Cleaning
After one of those heavy summer storms, a family near McLauchlin Park called for Yard Cleaning. Branches everywhere, leaves packed into the fence line. We brought the crew, cleared it out in a few hours, and hauled it off. Sometimes its not about cutting trees down, its just about getting things back to normal.
Tree Pruning Service
An older couple off Bethel Road wanted help with a flowering tree in their front yard. They loved it but it was growing wild. Our Tree Pruning Service shaped it up without hurting the blooms. Now it flowers even better each year. Pruning isnt just cutting, its knowing where to cut.
Tree Cutting Service
We handled a Tree Cutting Service job in a backyard near Rockfish Road where a cracked trunk split after a storm. It was too risky to leave standing. We sectioned it down careful and slow, keeping the fence and shed safe. The family told us they felt relief just watching it come down safe.
Shrub Trimming
Shrub Trimming might sound small, but it changes the whole look of a home. In one yard near the high school, the bushes had grown over the walkway. We trimmed them back clean and even. Suddenly the house looked sharp again. Little cuts can make a big difference.
Bush Trimming
We also do plenty of Bush Trimming around here. A lady near downtown wanted her hedges lined up nice before a family cookout. We squared them off, cleaned the clippings, and she said her yard finally matched how she felt about hosting folks. Its simple work, but it matters.

Why folks around here keep calling us
Most people just want straight answers. When they call for Tree Service, they dont want a sales pitch. They want to know if the tree is safe, how long it will take, and what the yard will look like after. We keep it real. If a tree can stay, we say so. If it needs to come down, we explain why.
We also clean up. Sounds basic, but youd be surprised. Leaving a yard messy after work is not ok. We treat each property like its our own place. Thats prob the biggest reason word spreads fast around town.
How things usually go
When someone calls us from around town, heres how it normally works:
- We set up a time to come look at the trees.
- We walk the property with you and talk it through.
- We give a clear price and schedule.
- We show up ready and clean up before we leave.
Thats it. No complicated steps. If youre near neighborhoods like Wedgefield or closer to downtown, we plan around traffic and school hours so were not blocking roads. We also point folks to the FAQ section if they want more details before booking. Were easy to reach and we actually call back, which people seem to like alot.
Neighborhoods we spend time in
We work all over this area. Wedgefield has big yards and tall pines that always need attention. Carolina Oaks has newer homes but those young trees still need shaping early so they grow right. Around downtown near Main Street, space is tighter so careful cutting really matters.
Out by Rockfish area, storm damage is common because of open land and wind. Each spot has its own style of trees and yard layouts. Spending so much time in these neighborhoods means we kinda know what to expect before we even unload the truck.

Hernandez Cruz Tree Removal & Stump Grinding is proud to serve homeowners all across Raeford, NC with honest work and fair pricing. We live and work around here too, so we care about how every yard looks when were done.
