Tree Services Serving the Asheville Area
15 local businesses listed
Asheville is a city under a canopy, which is most of what makes the neighborhoods feel the way they do — and also why tree work here is constant. Mature oaks, poplars, and pines sit close to houses on lots that were subdivided long before anyone thought about mature spread. Storms come through the gaps in the ridges, and the flooding in 2024 left a lot of compromised root systems that are still failing years later.
That’s the thing worth knowing: a tree that survived a major storm isn’t necessarily healthy. Saturated soil and root damage can take seasons to show up, and the first visible sign is often a lean that wasn’t there before.
The companies here serve Asheville and Weaverville, handling removal, trimming, and storm work.
Ask for proof of insurance before anyone climbs. Tree work is the most dangerous trade on this site, and an uninsured crew dropping a limb through your roof — or worse — becomes your problem in a way that no discount is worth.

Bill's Tree & Landscaping
Bill's Tree & Landscaping has worked out of Ben Ray Lane in Hendersonville for more than four decades — family-owned across that whole run, which in tree work counts for something. Longevity usually means the equipment is paid for and the crew knows the terrain. They cover both halves of the job. Tree side: removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, storm damage cleanup, emergency calls, and lot clearing. Landscape side: design and installation, hardscaping, grading and drainage, mulching, and seasonal maintenance. Residential and commercial, open seven days. Service area covers Henderson, Buncombe, and Transylvania counties — Hendersonville, Flat Rock, Laurel Park, Etowah, Mills River, Fletcher, Arden, Saluda, Brevard, and Asheville.

Black Mountain Arborists
Black Mountain Arborists is a small, locally owned tree care company that has been working in the Swannanoa Valley since 2008. It sits at the intersection of arboriculture and ecology — the owner holds both an **ISA Board Certified Arborist** credential and an **ESA Certified Ecologist** credential, a combination almost nobody else in Western North Carolina carries. The practical difference shows up in what they recommend. Tree work covers health inspections, organic treatments, fine and clearance pruning, deadwood, and hazard removal, but the same crew also handles erosion control, water management, native planting, boulder and stonework, and invasive species management. If you have a big old tree you would rather keep than take down, or a slope that has been moving since the storms, this is the kind of company worth calling first.

BLS Land Management
BLS Land Management works out of Huffman Road in Clyde on the jobs that fall between landscaping and excavation. Gravel driveway repair, lot clearing with an excavator, storm drainage installation, tree removal, yard maintenance, and hauling up to three tons with a one-ton dump truck. That last detail is more useful than it sounds — it tells you the scale of work this is a fit for, and where you'd want a bigger outfit instead. Gravel driveways are the recurring one in this county. Every hard rain moves material downhill, and the fix is usually re-grading the crown and giving the water somewhere else to go, not another load of stone on top. They offer online estimates as well as site visits.

Deese's Tree Services
Deese's Tree Services is a tree crew based on Todd Road in Clyde. Removal and trimming across Haywood County. On a wooded lot, the trees worth spending money on are the ones leaning toward the house, the ones with deadwood over a driveway, and the ones whose roots are lifting something — not necessarily the biggest ones. Ask about insurance before any tree comes down near a structure. It's the one question in this trade where the wrong answer is genuinely expensive.

Earthworks Tree Services, INC
Earthworks Tree Services in Asheville NC is a tree care service company that protects the healthy treescape in Western North Carolina. Offering the most comprehensive tree care practices in Asheville, NC and the surrounding areas, these tree-loving arborists provide professional, courteous tree removal and tree trimming services to ensure your trees look beautiful, are healthy and pose no risks.
Gravity Works Tree Service
Gravity Works Tree Service is an Asheville tree care company founded in 2019 and owned by Sascha Hopps, an ISA Certified Arborist (#SO-11137A). The work runs from full removals and pruning through the diagnostic side of the trade — tree risk assessment, pest and disease management, invasive species control, and whole stand management across a property rather than one tree at a time. Emergency service is available 24 hours. Service area covers Asheville, North Asheville, Weaverville, Woodfin, and Marshall, with work across Buncombe, Henderson, and Madison Counties. Sascha contributed to our guide on [why Asheville homeowners should hire an ISA-certified arborist](https://ashevillepros.com/articles/isa-certified-arborist-asheville/).

Haynes Tree & Excavation
Haynes Tree & Excavation is a family-owned business rooted in Waynesville, covering Waynesville, Clyde, Maggie Valley, and Canton. The unusual part is the combination. Most outfits do trees or dirt, not both, and around here those two jobs keep running into each other — a removal on a slope leaves ruts and a stump hole, and land clearing is half tree work before an excavator ever matters. One insured crew closing out both sides saves a second mobilization. They run 24/7 emergency tree service, which is the number worth having saved before a storm rather than during one. Drainage work too, which in this terrain is usually the real fix when a yard won't dry out.

Holbert's Tree Service
Holbert's Tree Service has been cutting trees in Henderson County since 1975 — a second-generation family business now run by Steve Holbert, with better than forty years of experience behind the name. Services are the straightforward ones done well: pruning, trimming, removal, ongoing maintenance, and 24-hour emergency work when a storm drops something across a driveway. They also sell mulch and firewood. Licensed and insured, residential and commercial. The owner attends most job sites himself, which on a removal near a house is the difference worth paying for. Based on Chastain Hill Road in Mills River, working Hendersonville and the surrounding area.

Howell Tree Removal
Howell Tree Removal works out of Waynesville and has been doing tree work across Western North Carolina for more than eleven years, residential and commercial both. Removal, pruning, stump grinding, and storm debris cleanup, plus landscaping — which is a useful pairing, since a removal usually leaves a hole and a torn-up section of yard that somebody has to put back. Storm cleanup is the one to think about ahead of time. After a wind event the whole county calls the same handful of crews on the same morning, and the people who get seen first are generally the ones who already had a number in their phone.

M&S Landscaping and Tree Service
M&S Landscaping and Tree Service is a family-owned company on Dogwood Lane in Canton, working Haywood County and out into Buncombe and Jackson. They handle both sides of the yard: tree removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and storm cleanup, plus landscaping and lawn maintenance. On a property where a removal leaves a torn-up lawn behind, having one crew close it out is worth something. Coverage runs through Canton, Clyde, Waynesville, and Maggie Valley.

Newcomb Tree Service, Inc.
Newcomb Tree Service is a locally owned tree company on US-70 in Swannanoa, operating since 2006 with crews that carry more than 20 years of tree work in Western North Carolina between them. Along with standard trimming and removals, they do lot and land clearing and storm damage cleanup, and they run grading and excavating equipment — useful on jobs where the stumps and the site work are the same project. A woodworking arm, Newcomb Woodworx, mills material from removals. The company is fully insured, offers free estimates, and takes emergency calls around the clock. Service area is Buncombe County and the surrounding Western North Carolina region. They do not advertise an ISA Certified Arborist on staff — worth asking about directly if your job involves diagnosing a tree rather than removing one.

Pisgah Land Solutions
Pisgah Land Solutions works out of Mills River across two trades that usually mean two contractors: tree work and land development. The tree side covers removal — including crane removals — stump grinding, pruning, view clearing, hazardous tree inspection, and storm cleanup. The land side covers clearing and lot prep, excavation, demolition, gravel road installation and repair, drainage and erosion control, and culvert installation. They also build sustainable trails and timber bridges, which is unusual and useful on larger mountain properties. That pairing is worth noting if you are prepping a building lot: the trees come down and the grading and drainage happen under one contract. Licensed and insured, 24/7 emergency service. Coverage runs through Henderson and Transylvania counties — Mills River, Hendersonville, Brevard, Etowah, Horse Shoe, Pisgah Forest, Rosman, Lake Toxaway, and Asheville.
