Our Services

At Green River Tree Works, we are proud to provide a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the unique needs of our clients while supporting sustainable forest management across Western North Carolina’s most challenging and dynamic forest landscapes.

From hazardous tree removal, to tip weight reduction, and view pruning, our team is committed to improving your property’s trees health and resilience—ensuring your trees thrive for generations to come.

  • While our main goal at Green River Tree Works is to keep trees healthy and thriving, we understand that removal is sometimes the safest or most practical option. Whether it's due to safety concerns, property damage, or future construction, we’re here to help you make the right call.

    Common reasons for tree removal include:

    • The tree is dead, dying, or severely diseased

    • It’s outgrown its space and poses structural issues

    • Roots are damaging sidewalks, driveways, or foundations

    • Branches are too close to roofs, windows, or power lines

    • The tree has suffered storm damage

    • Property owner preference

    • Land clearing for new building or development

    Before any removal, one of our trained professionals will assess the tree’s condition to see if it can be preserved. If removal is the best option, we’ll handle the job with care—using safe techniques, avoiding unnecessary landscape damage, and leaving the area clean and clear of debris.

    At Green River Tree Works, we treat your property with the same respect we’d give our own.

  • At Green River Tree Works, we offer expert view pruning services that enhance your property's natural beauty without compromising tree health. Whether you’re looking to open up a mountain vista, improve sunlight to your home, or restore a scenic overlook, our approach balances visibility with environmental care.

    What is View Pruning?

    View pruning is the selective trimming or thinning of branches to improve or restore a desired view—such as a lake, valley, or ridgeline—while preserving the health, structure, and long-term vitality of the tree.

    Our Approach

    Every view pruning project begins with a site assessment. Our ISA-certified arborists:

    • Identify the ideal sightline and view corridor

    • Carefully remove or reduce specific limbs while minimizing stress on the tree

    • Maintain natural form and balance

    • Ensure long-term health and structural integrity

    We avoid topping or aggressive cutting that can lead to decay or instability. Our methods follow best arboricultural practices and respect both your property goals and the surrounding ecosystem.

    Benefits of View Pruning

    • Restores scenic visibility without removing mature trees

    • Increases natural light and airflow

    • Enhances property value and aesthetic appeal

    • Maintains tree health and longevity

  • At Green River Tree Works, we offer expert tree trimming and pruning services designed to improve the health, structure, and beauty of your trees—while keeping your property safe

    Why Trimming & Pruning Matter

    Regular pruning is essential for maintaining healthy, long-living trees. It:

    • Removes dead, diseased, or damaged limbs

    • Improves tree shape and structure

    • Increases sunlight and airflow for surrounding plants

    • Reduces the risk of falling branches or storm damage

    • Prevents interference with roofs, driveways, and power lines

  • Tree Cabling & Bracing

    Green River Tree Works offers expert tree cabling and bracing services to support weak or structurally compromised trees—helping them stay upright, healthy, and safe for years to come.

    What Is Tree Cabling?

    Tree cabling involves installing high-strength, flexible steel cables between major branches or trunks to reduce strain and improve structural stability. This non-invasive support system helps prevent:

    • Limb or trunk splitting

    • Failure during storms or high winds

    • Damage to surrounding property

    • The need for premature tree removal

    When Is Cabling Needed?

    Cabling is ideal for trees that have:

    • Co-dominant stems or weak branch unions

    • Overextended or heavy limbs

    • Signs of internal cracks or stress

    • High value (historic, sentimental, or aesthetic trees)

    Our certified arborists assess each situation to determine if cabling, bracing, or a combination of both is the best solution. We use industry-grade hardware and precise installation techniques to minimize impact on the tree and surrounding landscape.

    Benefits of Tree Cabling

    • Extends the life of mature or vulnerable trees

    • Helps preserve the natural shape and beauty of the canopy

    • Increases safety for people, pets, and property below

    • Avoids or delays costly removals
