Not on its own. 19% of the Fayetteville listings we checked had no website. Look instead at insurance, a written quote, recent reviews and how clearly they answer your questions.

There is no magic number. The median Fayetteville listing we checked had 23 reviews and the three most-reviewed had between 167 and 261 reviews. A newer company can be good with few reviews; read what customers say and how the owner replies.

Fayetteville's Tree Preservation Ordinance (City Code Chapter 167) mainly applies to development projects, such as large developments, plats, commercial exterior work, parking lots over five spaces, and single-family homes in the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. The city's pages do not say that a homeowner needs a permit to remove a tree from an existing home lot outside that district. If your lot is part of a building, grading or parking project, call the city's Urban Forestry office before removing trees. See our Fayetteville tree permit page for sources. Short explanation, not legal advice.

Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes peak from March to June, with straight-line winds that bring down large limbs. Ice storms from December to February can load limbs with weight and cause sudden outages. Have large trees near the house checked before the season starts.

The cooler months, from late fall to late winter, are a good time for most pruning and planned removals. Storm-damaged or dead limbs should be dealt with as soon as it is safe. Ask a certified arborist about your tree.

It depends on the tree size, how close it is to the house or lines, access for equipment, cleanup and stump work. We do not publish prices for tree work. Get two or three written quotes so you can compare.
