Tree Trimming in Greer

Greer straddles Greenville and Spartanburg counties and has grown fast since BMW Manufacturing opened in the 1990s. The city mixes older mill-era housing stock near downtown with newer subdivisions pushing out toward Woodruff Road and Highway 29. A lot of the newer subdivisions were cleared and graded during construction, so residents deal with young planted trees that grow fast and need regular shaping. The airport corridor brings ongoing commercial development that sits right alongside residential streets.

Overgrown or dead branches fall. In Greenville, summer thunderstorms roll in fast and hit hard — a weak limb over your roof does not need much help to come down. A lot of the older neighborhoods around Augusta Road and North Main have trees that have not been touched in decades, and those are the ones that cause real problems. Waiting until something breaks is almost always more expensive than trimming it right.

We climb or use a bucket truck depending on the tree, and we make cuts at the correct collar — the spot where the branch meets the trunk — so the tree can actually close the wound over time. Flush cuts and stub cuts both cause rot, and any contractor who does not know the difference should not be in your yard.
