Tree Trimming in Piedmont

Piedmont is an unincorporated community sitting along the Saluda River between Greenville and Anderson County. It developed around textile mills in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the mill village housing stock is still the backbone of the community. Properties tend to have large, old trees that came up alongside those homes a century ago. The Saluda River floodplain creates unique soil conditions and keeps the lower-lying properties particularly wet.

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.
