Warrior Tree Service LLC provides tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, storm cleanup, hedge removal, and boom truck services for property owners throughout Landrum, from the historic homes along East Rutherford Street to the equestrian properties out toward the Pacolet River and the wooded acreage near the North Carolina line.

Landrum sits at the northern edge of Spartanburg County, right up against the North Carolina line, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The town has a long history tied to the railroad and the apple orchards that defined this part of the Upstate in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today Landrum is best known for its equestrian heritage, with the Tryon International Equestrian Center just over the state line and a long-running culture of horse farms, stables, and rural acreage that defines a lot of the surrounding land. The downtown along East Rutherford Street and the surrounding residential blocks have held on to their small-town character through decades of slow, careful growth.
For tree work, Landrum has a property mix that runs heavily to acreage rather than tight residential lots. Equestrian properties with mature specimen trees around farmhouses, paddocks, and barn complexes. Wooded acreage where the trees are part of the landscape itself, not just landscape features. Residential properties with longer driveways and bigger lots than what you find closer to Spartanburg. And the in-town residential blocks with older homes and mature shade trees that have been standing for generations.
The tree population reflects the northern Upstate Piedmont and Blue Ridge foothills transition. White oak, northern red oak, scarlet oak, chestnut oak in some of the higher and rockier spots, along with water oak and willow oak in residential areas. Tulip poplar, sweetgum, hickory, and basswood through most of the canopy. Loblolly pine and shortleaf pine across rural lots and wood lines. Eastern white pine in some areas, with the occasional mountain species making an appearance closer to the foothills. Older homestead and equestrian properties often have specimen oaks and pecans 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. Ice storms in winter, which the foothills tend to get worse than the flatter parts of the county, load every branch with extra weight. Hurricane remnants from the coast occasionally reach this far inland. Trees with hidden structural problems are usually the ones that fail.
The removals we handle around Landrum fall into a few common categories. Mature hardwoods past their structural prime, especially trees on equestrian properties and old homesteads that have been standing for decades. Storm-damaged trees that cannot be saved. Dead pines taken out by southern pine beetle on wooded acreage, especially after dry summers. Declining trees compromised by storm damage or root issues. And the occasional removal of trees that have outgrown their location near farmhouses, barns, paddocks, fence lines, or outbuildings.
On rural acreage with room to fell conventionally, we drop the tree where we want it and clean up. For equestrian properties, we plan the work carefully around horses, barns, fencing, and turnout schedules to keep disruption to a minimum. Near houses, barns, fences, or power lines, 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 Landrum focuses on a few priorities. Keeping limbs off roofs, barns, and outbuildings. Maintaining clearance along driveways, fence lines, and around paddocks on equestrian properties. Reducing wind-loading on tall canopies so the next thunderstorm does not catch them. Clearing deadwood before it falls. Addressing structural problems on mature trees before they become hazards.
We follow proper pruning standards on every job. Cuts at the branch collar, no topping, conservative removal levels. For older homestead trees and specimen hardwoods that have been part of a property for generations, the goal is preservation rather than aggressive thinning. A well-pruned mature oak should look healthier from the road, not visibly cut up.
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. For equestrian properties with paddock or pasture stumps, we grind deep enough that horses are not at risk of catching a hoof on the remnant.
When severe weather hits northern Spartanburg County, we respond fast. Our 24/7 storm cleanup covers fallen tree removal, broken limb cleanup, debris hauling, and full property cleanup after damaging winds, ice, or thunderstorms. For rural Landrum properties with long driveways, soft ground after heavy rain, and trees down in pasture or back acreage, we have the equipment to access work zones that smaller crews cannot. 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 space, we handle the removal and haul the material away. For the tallest trees on your property or trees in tight access situations, our boom truck gives us the reach to handle jobs other crews cannot.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Landrum? For trees on private residential or rural property, generally no. The City of Landrum may require permits for trees in the right-of-way, on public property, or in protected zones. We check before starting work.
How much does tree removal cost in Landrum? Pricing depends on the tree’s size, species, condition, access, and proximity to structures. Rural acreage with room to work generally costs less than tight residential removals or jobs that need boom truck assistance. Free written estimates upfront.
Can you work on equestrian properties without disrupting the horses? Yes. We schedule work around your turnout routine, barn operations, and daily schedule to minimize disruption. We plan access, debris staging, and equipment movement to keep horses calm and safe, and we always coordinate with you before any work starts on the property.
Can you handle work on farms and rural acreage? Yes. Rural property work across northern Spartanburg County is a big part of what we do. We have the trucks, climbing crews, and boom truck for the largest hardwoods on farms and acreage, including properties with long driveways, fence-line trees, and back-acreage work.
What about ice storm damage? Ice storms in the foothills can be devastating. We respond same-day for active hazards and handle full property cleanup after the event, including evaluation of trees with hidden damage that may not show up until weeks later.
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.
