FAQ
Answers, honestly.
The questions we hear most often from Brunswick County homeowners.
Common homeowner questions
Is Brunswick Tree Guide a tree service?+
No. We are an educational resource. We don't cut, trim, or remove trees. When you need work done, we help you understand your options and find reputable local professionals.
Is your advice really free?+
Yes. Written guidance, photo review, and referrals are always free for Brunswick County homeowners.
Do you cover all of Brunswick County?+
Yes — Shallotte, Southport, Oak Island, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, Calabash, Supply, Leland, Belville, Bolivia, and everywhere in between.
How do you make money if you don't sell services?+
We're an independent local project. When we grow, we may partner with vetted local arborists — but recommendations will always be based on quality, not payment.
How fast will I hear back?+
Most homeowner questions get an answer within one business day. Storm periods may take a little longer.
Can you help me get quotes?+
Yes — we'll help you understand a fair scope of work and can point you toward a shortlist of trusted local pros to quote it.
Do you recommend specific arborists?+
We keep an informal list of ISA-certified arborists and reputable removal crews across Brunswick County. Ask us and we'll share.
What about permits and HOA rules?+
Requirements vary by town and neighborhood. We can point you to the right office to check before you cut.
