The Upstate grows big trees close to houses. Mature oaks and hickories in older Spartanburg neighborhoods, loblolly planted thick on former farmland, sweetgum and poplar leaning over driveways and fence lines. Eastern Land Solutions provides tree care services across Spartanburg, SC and the surrounding Upstate — as part of our land work and as standalone jobs. Tree work is where this family started: Michael has spent twenty-five years taking trees off properties across this region, and that experience is the foundation the rest of the company is built on.

Tree removal — controlled dismantling of dead, damaged, or in-the-way trees, whole in open ground or in sections near a structure, plus storm damage cleanup. Tree removal
Tree trimming and pruning — proper cuts at the branch collar, deadwood and clearance work, and canopy maintenance done at the right time of year. Never topping. Tree trimming and pruning
A removal is not finished while the stump is still in the yard, so most tree jobs end with stump grinding or removal in the same visit — which costs less than bringing a second outfit back later. We run two high-capacity chippers and our own dump trucks, so debris leaves with us instead of sitting in your yard waiting on a pickup.
We handle tree work throughout Spartanburg County — Roebuck, Moore, Una, Arkwright, Switzer, Pauline, White Stone, Fairforest, Arcadia, Woodruff, and Reidville — plus Boiling Springs, Inman, Lyman, Duncan, and Greer. We also cover Greenville County toward Easley, Gaffney and Cherokee County, and Laurens County. Local conditions create a specific set of tree problems here. Piedmont red clay is shallow and holds water at the surface, which encourages wide, plate-like root systems rather than deep anchoring, so a saturated spring followed by a hard wind takes down healthy-looking trees every year. Summer thunderstorms bring straight-line winds, and periodic ice storms load canopies past what pine and Bradford pear will carry. If a storm has left you with more than a single tree down, see land clearing, grading, and excavation — at that point it is a clearing job, not a tree job.
Tree work is the family’s original trade. Michael has spent twenty-five years taking trees off properties across the Upstate — residential yards, farms, commercial sites, and golf course renovations where hundreds of stems came out at once. It is a four-person, family-run crew, nobody subcontracted, and because we also clear, grade, and excavate, a tree job that turns into something larger does not require you to start over with a new contractor.
Clemson Extension notes that tree roots extend two to three times the width of the canopy, which is worth knowing before anyone digs, paves, or grades near a tree you intend to keep — protecting the root zone during construction is far cheaper than replacing a tree that dies three years later. If you would rather keep the wood and burn it yourself, South Carolina requires prior notification to the Forestry Commission outside city limits. Most customers have us chip and haul instead.

Height, diameter, species, and above all what is underneath the tree. A pine in an open pasture that can be laid down in one piece is a fraction of the cost of the same pine standing eight feet off a roofline, because the second one has to come down in controlled sections. Access, whether wood is hauled or left, and whether the stump is included all move the number.
Warning signs include large deadwood in the canopy, mushrooms or conks at the base, a hollow or cracked trunk, soil heaving on one side of the root plate, and a lean that has changed recently. Not every flawed tree needs removal — many can be pruned and monitored, and we will tell you honestly when a tree can stay.
Yes. Storm work is different because broken and uprooted trees are under tension that is not always visible, and cutting in the wrong order can release it violently. If a tree is on a structure, a vehicle, or in contact with a power line, do not approach it — call the utility for anything touching a line, then call us.
