The mission of Hunter’s Tree Service, Inc. is to provide you with skilled tree care and friendly customer service while taking care of one of your most valuable resources. Our company was established by Tony Hunter. After completing high school, Tony was employed by a tree care company before enrolling in Lees McRae to study biology. While a student, he cut and sold firewood and did tree work to earn extra money. Tony became aware of the great need for tree care in the area. His experiences inspired Tony to pursue a career in arboriculture. Tony and his wife, Judy, are both certified arborists and they recognize the value of professionalism. As a result, Hunter’s Tree Service, Inc. has trained arborists on staff who stay up to date on current arboricultural and safety techniques.
We incorporate the highest standards of safety in our tree removal process to ensure that both our staff and that the structures on your property are safe. We have been removing trees for years and know the precautions to take to make sure a job is carried out smoothly and efficiently. Sometimes we may use a crane or bucket truck to remove a tree, and we have the knowledge to carry out the use of these pieces of equipment.
Stump Grinding and Removal
Hunter’s Tree Service, Inc. offers affordable prices on stump grinding throughout the High Country. Stumps may be a nuisance or visually unappealing to a homeowner. If you’ve ever tried to remove a stump yourself, you can attest to how difficult and time consuming it is. It’s just not worth the effort because we can easily and quickly grind down a stump. Our stump grinder is mounted on rubber tracks which does minimal damage to lawns and turf. These tracks also make some hard to reach stumps more accessible.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Lightning rods are simple devices that are highly effective in protecting trees from this type of storm damage. Typically, lightning rods are installed in a tree so that if the tree is struck, the metal of the rod instead of water found in the trunk of the tree conducts electricity. The rod guides electricity down the tree trunk to the earth, thus saving it from injury or explosion.
While some hedges and shrubs can be relatively simple to prune, tree pruning can be quite complicated and should only be handled by a qualified professional. Sometimes if you try to handle these types of cuts yourself, you could potentially harm the tree and make a cut that will not properly seal over. Too, some of the pruning that needs to be done on the tree can be located quite a distance from the ground. Do not risk getting hurt! We can handle your tree pruning needs.
Tree Fertilization
Tree Maintenance
Hunter’s Tree Service, Inc. can help you diagnose problems with your trees which could result from nutrient deficiencies or from pests. We provide professional tree care services throughout the High Country.
Tree Cabling and Bracing
Tree cabling is needed to help reduce the risk of tree failure and should be added to certain trees. This type of support system should only be installed by a skilled professional because if the cables are not placed properly or are placed in improper areas, they can actually weaken the tree. Support cables are placed at certain areas on the tree to limit the lateral movement of limbs.
