Tree Trimming in Simpsonville

Simpsonville has been one of the fastest-growing cities in South Carolina for two decades, expanding outward from its small downtown core along Fairview Road and Harrison Bridge Road. Most of the housing was built from the late 1990s through the 2010s, so trees planted at construction time are now large enough to cause real problems. It's a bedroom community for Greenville workers, which means properties are well-maintained and homeowners tend to stay on top of tree issues. The city has more suburban subdivision lots than anything else.

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.
