You Can Trust The Experts At Warrior Tree Service
When a thunderstorm rolls off the Blue Ridge foothills or an ice storm coats the canopy in the Upstate, Greer property owners need a reliable tree care partner who knows the area and the work. Warrior Tree Service LLC provides tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, storm cleanup, hedge removal, and boom truck services for property owners throughout Greer, from the historic homes around downtown and Trade Street to the established neighborhoods near Greer City Park and the newer subdivisions spreading out around the BMW manufacturing corridor and Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.

Greer sits between Greenville and Spartanburg, straddling both counties along the I-85 corridor. The city has grown into one of the larger communities in the Upstate, driven by the BMW plant, Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, and decades of steady residential expansion. At the same time, Greer has held on to its small-town character through a careful redevelopment of the historic downtown along Trade Street and Poinsett Street, plus the established residential neighborhoods that go back to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
For tree work, Greer has a property mix that goes a few different directions. The historic downtown blocks and surrounding older neighborhoods have mature shade trees that have been growing alongside homes for a century or more, many of them now past their structural prime and in need of preservation work or careful evaluation. The mid-century subdivisions across the city have plantings from the 1960s through the 1990s that are now hitting maturity and developing the kinds of structural issues you would expect. Newer subdivisions on the edges of town have younger plantings that benefit from early structural pruning. Commercial properties along the I-85 corridor and around the airport have their own canopy management priorities.
The tree population is classic Upstate Piedmont. White oak, water oak, willow oak, red oak across most residential streets. Loblolly pine and shortleaf pine on rural lots and along property lines. Sweetgum, tulip poplar, hickory, and the older Bradford pears that are scattered across mid-century landscapes. We deal with Bradford pears constantly because they fail at higher rates than almost any other landscape tree in the region. Older Greer neighborhoods sometimes have specimen oaks and other mature shade trees that have been standing for a hundred years or more, and these benefit from preservation work rather than removal.
Storms in this part of South Carolina hit hard. Spring and summer thunderstorms produce damaging straight-line winds across the I-85 corridor regularly. Ice storms in winter, less common but more destructive when they happen, load every branch with extra weight. Hurricane remnants from the coast occasionally reach this far inland with damaging gusts.
The removals we handle around Greer fall into a few common categories. Mature hardwoods past their structural prime, especially water oaks that decline by age 40 to 60. Storm-damaged trees that cannot be saved. Declining Bradford pears that have started splitting at the weak attachment points. Dead pines taken out by southern pine beetle. And the occasional removal of trees that have outgrown their location near homes, outbuildings, or power lines.
On larger lots and rural acreage with room to fell conventionally, we drop the tree where we want it and clean up. On tight residential lots in the historic neighborhoods or in older subdivisions, anywhere close to a house, fence, or power line, we use sectional removal. The climber works from the top down, rigging each section to land where the crew controls it. For the largest trees, removals over structures, or jobs where there is no good landing zone, we bring in our boom truck. Stump grinding and full cleanup come included on every job.
Most of the pruning work we do in Greer focuses on a handful of priorities. Keeping limbs off roofs and away from siding. Reducing wind-loading on tall canopies so the next severe storm does not catch them. Clearing deadwood before it falls. Correcting structural issues on mature trees before they become hazards. For newer subdivision trees, early structural pruning is some of the highest-value work you can do.
We follow proper pruning standards on every job. Cuts at the branch collar, no topping, conservative removal levels that respect what a tree can recover from in a single season. We see plenty of topped trees in older Greer neighborhoods from previous services that did not know better. We can sometimes restore topped trees through careful pruning over several seasons, though some are past saving.
After a tree comes down, the stump is what is left. Left alone it sprouts, attracts pests, makes mowing a chore, and eventually settles into a sinkhole. We grind stumps below grade with commercial equipment, deep enough that you can plant grass, run a flower bed, or just have a level yard again. Backfill is included, and most residential stumps finish in under an hour.
When severe weather hits, we respond fast. Our 24/7 storm cleanup service covers fallen tree removal, broken limb cleanup, debris hauling, and full property cleanup after damaging winds, ice, or thunderstorms. For follow-up work, we evaluate the remaining trees on the property for hidden damage, since trees that took stress in a storm sometimes have problems that do not show up until weeks later. We document everything for insurance and coordinate directly with adjusters on covered claims.
For overgrown hedges, large shrubs, and landscape plantings that have outgrown their location, we handle the removal and haul the material away. For the tallest trees on your property, or trees in tight access situations where ground-based removal would not work safely, our boom truck gives us the reach to handle jobs other crews cannot.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Greer? For trees on private residential property, generally no. The City of Greer may require permits for trees in the right-of-way, on public property, or in protected zones, including the historic district. We check before starting work and handle paperwork if needed.
How much does tree removal cost in Greer? Pricing depends on the tree’s size, species, condition, access, and proximity to structures. Tight residential lots in older neighborhoods often need sectional removal or boom truck assistance, which costs more than a conventional removal in an open yard. Free written estimates upfront.
Can you work on historic properties downtown? Yes. Historic-area work is part of what we do in Greer. We treat older homes and mature shade trees with appropriate care, including ground protection, careful access, and full cleanup.
Should I be worried about my Bradford pears? Yes, especially once they reach 15 to 20 years old. Bradford pears in the Upstate fail at very high rates because of weak branch attachments.
Are you licensed and insured? Yes. Licensed and fully insured, with documentation available before any work begins.
How fast can you respond to an emergency? Same-day response whenever possible for active hazards. We answer the phone 24/7.

We believe in doing honest work for our neighbors. Since 2020, we’ve built our reputation across Chesnee and Spartanburg one yard at a time. Here is what local property owners have to say about working with our family-owned team.
Moses and his team did an outstanding job! Moses answered the phone the first time that I called him and was punctual on arrival day and time. They also did not leave a single leaf or twig behind. I would highly recommend Warrior Tree Service to any and all who need tree work.
Very responsive! Arrived and completed the job before I even got a callback from other providers in the area! Very efficient and reasonably priced! I won’t go anywheree else from now on!
Warrior Tree Service arrived on schedule, remembered the things we had talked about 2 weeks before, had powerful equipment to get the multiple jobs done, great helpers who also cleaned up after very well. Next time we have tree needs we will definitely use Warrior Tree Service and Moses the owner.
Warrior Tree Service was excellent! Moses and the crew went above and beyond what I had expected from start to finish. Moses met me to give an estimate, set a day to do the work, showed up promptly at the designated time and worked consistently until the job was completed.
Moses and his team did a wonderful job moving a very large tree from our yard. He definitively knows what he is doing and the tree was topped and fell exactly where it was supposed to. They cleaned up when they left and we couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommend!
We could not have been more pleased with Moses and Warrior Tree Service. We have worked with others throughout the years and they are by far the best. Our trees look great. The yard looks as if they we’re never there. Exceptional cleanup job! We will definitely use them in the future.
No mystery, no runaround. Here’s exactly what to expect from the first phone call to the moment we pull out of your driveway.
Call (864) 952-0008 or send us a message online. Describe the tree, the situation, and what you’d like done. We’ll either schedule a free on-site estimate or, for emergencies, dispatch a crew immediately.
We come to your property, take a look at the tree (or trees), check access for trucks and equipment, and ask about anything we should be aware of – buried utilities, sensitive landscaping, neighbor considerations. Then we write you a real number.
You get a clear, written estimate covering the scope of work, the timeline, and the total cost. That number is locked in by our no-surprise guarantee. If you want to think it over, no pressure. If you want to book, we’ll schedule it.
On the day of the job, our crew arrives on time, sets up protective gear where needed, walks the plan with you, and gets to work. We communicate throughout the day so you always know what’s happening.
When the cutting is done, the cleanup starts. We chip, haul, rake, and blow – leaving the area better than we found it. Before we leave, we walk the job with you to make sure you’re satisfied. Then we send the invoice for the exact amount we quoted. Done.
