In Fayetteville, emergency calls follow the weather, and the first call is usually hurricanes and tropical storms. Fran (1996), Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018) caused widespread tree failure and flooding in Fayetteville. Next on the list: severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. The April 2011 tornado outbreak tore through Fayetteville neighborhoods. The trees that fail most often here are longleaf pine, loblolly pine and willow oak. December through February is best: trees are dormant, it is before hurricane and beetle season, and removals are easier before spring growth and summer heat.

Permits & rules in Fayetteville
Fayetteville's tree rules are in the Unified Development Ordinance and aimed at development: the city's own Development Guide states that tree removal on single-family detached residential lots established before 2011 does not require a clear-cutting permit, and neither does removal of a diseased, dead or dying tree. Clearing healthy trees on a development site without an approved site or subdivision plan requires a Clear-Cutting Permit (UDO 30-2.C.9); specimen trees over 30 in. caliper can be removed only with a survey and compelling justification, with a $100-per-caliper-inch removal fee if approved, and 30-ft side and 50-ft street buffers must be kept. Southern yellow pine, Bradford pear, mulberry and silver maple are exempt from preservation rules regardless of size. Street and public trees are city-maintained.
Storm debris: Solid Waste collects yard waste on regular pickup days (leaves in carts, cans or durable bags, kept separate from trash; open burning is banned) and has contracted free curbside storm-debris collection after major storms when residents sort debris at the curb.
