Best Tree Services in Greenville Kudos

For homes and properties around Greenville, Swamp Rabbit Tree Co takes care of tree trimming, pruning, and removal.

At American Advance Tree, the person who sizes up the job is the same one who does it, not a salesperson handing off to a separate crew. Owner Kevin Bronson, an ISA Certified Arborist who started the company here in the Upstate, calls it the Red, White & Blue Guarantee. Beyond pruning and stump grinding, the crew handles hazardous and storm-damaged removals, with 24/7 emergency response for the kind of mess a lot of us saw after Helene. More than a decade in, Bronson says the focus has shifted toward saving trees whenever possible. The company works within about 40 miles of Fountain Inn, including Simpsonville, Greenville, Greer, and Taylors. Customers keep mentioning jobs that matched the quote, cleanup down to the last twig, and careful work in tight spots, like a tree grown over a neighbor's chimney.

Dominguez Tree Service handles the tree work that comes with living among the Upstate's big oaks and pines, from cutting limbs back off a roofline to taking down a tree that has outgrown its spot. They work out of Piedmont, right where Greenville and Anderson counties meet.

Reviews of Greenville Tree Co. read like a list of the hard jobs: a dying 80-foot maple beside the house, a pine on the roof after a storm, hollies too tall for a landscaper's insurance. The family-owned company, started in 2019 and run by Micaiah Wartak, keeps a knuckleboom crane and its own crane operator for big removals, and cables and prunes trees worth keeping. Every job chips in to Rooted for Good, which sends the crew and equipment to camps and churches that can't afford tree work, including The Wilds camp up near Brevard after Hurricane Helene. Crews work from Travelers Rest and Greer down to Mauldin and Simpsonville, and west to Easley and Powdersville. What customers mention most is the cleanup: plywood to protect the lawn, leaf blowers over every bit of sawdust, yards left cleaner than before.

High-risk removals are a specialty at Carson Tree Company: trees leaning the wrong way and dead limbs hanging over a roof. When a storm drops a tree on the house, they'll help with the insurance claim, too. Everyday removals, pruning, stump grinding, and land clearing round out the work, and there's an ISA-certified arborist on staff. It's a local company, not a franchise. Owner David Carson and his wife also founded Sammy's Mission, which provides faith-based transitional housing for men in addiction recovery. The tree business grew out of work David took on in 2021 alongside a mission resident who'd done it before. Crews cover Simpsonville, Mauldin, Fountain Inn, Greenville, Taylors, Greer, Travelers Rest, and Piedmont. Reviews keep coming back to the cleanup: yards left as clean as before, or cleaner, with the stumps ground and the wood hauled off.

Integrity Tree Co. chose its equipment to protect finished yards. A crane truck's grapple saw lifts cut sections out without touching the lawn, and the company skips a full-size skid steer on purpose. Owner Josh Moye, an ISA-certified arborist, started the business in 2008 with a pickup and a few saws, and it is still family-run. Beyond removals, the work covers arborist inspections, cabling and bracing for trees worth keeping, and storm calls when a tree lands on a house, including help with the insurance claim. There is even a furniture division, Integrity Millworks & Design, that can turn your removed tree into a custom table or desk. The crews work across Greenville, Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Taylors, and Travelers Rest. Reviewers mention the cleanup again and again, and one describes a section of chain-link fence the crew took down to get equipment in, then reinstalled just as they found it.

Owner Brad Stone is an ISA Certified Arborist, and his assessments sort out which trees can be saved with pruning, cabling, or bracing, and which need to come down. One customer's old sugar maple was trimmed and cabled to help it weather storms. When removal is the answer, the crew handles the tricky ones: big trees close to the house, a fence, or power lines. They'll also install lighting to show off a standout tree. Independent and locally owned, the company works for homeowners, HOAs, and businesses in Travelers Rest, Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, and Easley. For storm damage, they'll come anywhere in the Upstate. Customers mention Brad's clear advice and fair quotes, and they're just as quick to praise the cleanup, which leaves the yard in better shape than the crew found it.

Craig DeVore was an operating room nurse before tree work became his career. He learned the trade working for arborists in West Virginia to help pay for nursing school, carried a rock climber's rope skills into the canopy, and now runs his own crew as an ISA Certified Arborist. Jobs range from removals, pruning, and stump grinding to storm cleanup, emergency calls, lot clearing, and brush hogging, plus tree health and risk assessments for homes and businesses. They cover much of the Upstate, from Travelers Rest, Taylors, and Greer down through Greenville, Mauldin, and Simpsonville, west to Easley and Powdersville, and out toward Anderson and Pickens. Reviewers mention honest advice and pruning that shapes a tree naturally, but the cleanup gets the most praise, with customers saying their yard looked better after the crew left than before it arrived.
