Get expert guidance from an ISA-certified arborist who understands the specific challenges Chapel Hill’s trees face.
Chapel Hill’s trees are more than just landscaping; they are a part of our community’s identity. Providing expert guidance here requires an intimate familiarity with the Orange County soil profiles, the specific microclimates of the Northside and Southern Village neighborhoods, and the town’s rigorous regulatory environment.
That’s why it’s important to work with a local expert — like the team at Rockwood Tree Care. We understand the specific nuances arborists must consider when serving Chapel Hill residents and property managers, including:
Chapel Hill is known for some of the most protective tree regulations in the Triangle. Whether you need a Tree Protection Survey or help navigating the Land Use Management Ordinance (LUMO), we provide the certified guidance needed to stay compliant and avoid heavy fines.
We defend Chapel Hill’s canopy against both “specialist” killers, like emerald ash borer and hypoxylon canker that target our ashes and oaks, as well as “generalist” threats like Phytophthora root rot, which thrives in our humid Piedmont clay and threatens dozens of local species.
From the historic Franklin Street willow oaks to the dogwoods and loblolly pines growing in area backyards, we understand the specific needs of the trees that define our town. We provide expert care tailored to the species that thrive — and the ones that struggle — in our local acidic clay soils.
We have been providing specialized arborist consultations throughout Chapel Hill since 2020. Our goal is to help you preserve the value, safety, and beauty of your property’s most important natural assets.
Rockwood Tree Care takes a different approach than many of the other tree-service companies operating in Central North Carolina. We measure success by the number of clients we help and trees we save rather than the number we remove.
In fact, when you trust the Rockwood Tree Care team, you’ll immediately notice our commitment to:
“A consultation from an ISA-certified arborist is the best thing you can do to support your trees and give them the best chance of thriving. Getting the right advice at the right time can mean the difference between saving a tree and losing it.”

Not everyone who offers tree-care advice is qualified to give it. To ensure you get the kind of guidance you and your trees deserve, it is critical that you rely on an ISA-certified arborist.
To obtain ISA certification, an arborist must pass a rigorous examination, obtain ongoing education, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the science and ethics of arboriculture. It is the gold standard of professional credentialing in the tree-care industry, and it separates the experts from everyone else.
When you schedule a consultation with the Rockwood Tree Care team, you get direct access to an ISA-certified arborist with deep roots in the Central North Carolina community and a genuine commitment to providing honest, accurate, and actionable advice.

Read on GoogleWe needed multiple large trees around our house removed (wooded area). Lubbers & Sons were the only ones to provide a detailed estimate breaking down all costs and listing options. They did the work in the days they had planned, were careful not to damage any property or vegetation, and left the work areas cleaner that when they arrived. We were very happy with their work!
