Tree Trimming in Travelers Rest

Travelers Rest sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains along US-25 and has seen significant growth since the Swamp Rabbit Trail connected it to Greenville. The town has a mix of older homes in the original downtown area, newer residential development pushing north, and large wooded lots that back up to mountain terrain. Because it's the northernmost point in the service area, it gets the earliest and hardest winter weather. Tree work here often involves large specimen hardwoods on properties with significant slope.

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.
