     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Heartwood Tree Care remove 4 palm trees in my pool area. They were very adamant about making sure nothing go into the pool and covered the entire pool. They did a FANTATIC job, very professional, all the crew members were considerate and cleaned the area as if it was their own property. I have lots of trees and Heartwood Tree Care is my go to company .  They did such a good job my neighbors called me to get the company that I used,    THANK YOU CARLOS & HEARTWOOD CREW MEMBERS

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. To my surprise, Heartwood's bid on the removal of a diseased pine tree was no higher than the best I received from little guy companies. Plus, Heartwood agreed to compost rather than just dump the chips. Everyone I dealt with there performed with competence and professionalism.The crew brought all the necessary equipment to complete the job efficiently, without damage to neighboring trees, and finished with a better cleanup than I imagined possible. Very happy!

Great company, great people. Heartwood Tree Care delivered a level of service we did not know existed anymore. For each step of the process to remove a very large, very leaning tree — from supplying an estimate to diligently returning to their exact place some items from the yard we did not think to move in advance — the entire crew was thoughtful, professional, and precise. We highly recommend them.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heartwood tree has given us excellent service for our old trees - helping us to preserve the large old walnuts , pecans, cherries, magnolias, etc.  They have been very informative with everything that has been done and not recommended unnecessary services.  David has been amazing with his care of all our trees and plants - I can trust him (and Heartwood) to have the best care of our yard in their plans.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Heartwood Tree Service because I quickly realized how overwhelmed I was getting with all the conflicting information online to care for my fruit trees and ensure they do well for years to come. One of them in particular is very special to me as it was planted as a memorial tree for my father that passed and it developed black knot fungus on it only a few years after planting. I received reassurance that it will be OK as I caught it early and was given many pointers on everything from pruning to fertilizer to pest and fungal control & prevention. Tommy was very kind and helpful for me and provided a lot of info that was very specific not just regarding different trees but also regarding our region and the different issues and temperature swings we have in Western NC. I am so thankful and highly recommend Heartwood to anyone that needs some help/guidance/maintenance done! Thank you so much!!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Twenty+ Stars!  “Never have we ever” received more professional, talented, responsive, honest, friendly, responsible, reliable service, period.  Tommy Masters responded immediately to our recent ice storm issues (we live in a challenging microclimate).  He and his team are simply beyond super stars!  The project was scheduled quickly, and the work of the team (Yona, Christine, Jordan, and Todd) was simply beyond words, just like Tommy.  We remain in awe and will rely upon Heartwood for all of our future tree work, forever.  We have already scheduled additional complex projects with Heartwood and simply cannot recommend the Heartwood team highly enough.  And, most of them are certified arborists!  ALL are extremely qualified and seasoned, experienced professionals.   They are the real deal!  Thank you for a job very, very well done!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an extraordinary team. They were removing trees from the hillside behind my home yesterday and a dropped branch caused a large rock to skid and hit my vinyl siding. Yano promised to take care of it, but when he came back the same day with siding to fix it — I was blown away. That kind of responsiveness deserves recognition! A company that does seem to have their heart in what they do.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tommy at Heartwood was great to work with.  Got a quick and fair quote/consult, and they worked me into the queue to get my tree cut down within a couple weeks given there were dying branches over my roof.  They were prompt, did great work, and I would absolutely use them again.  I felt the price was fair and reasonable as well.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh man, we had a tree go down across our driveway and we couldn’t get out. Having just driven into town, we needed groceries and were stuck! I spoke with Lisa (I think), she reached out to someone who was scheduled to be in the area and promised to call me if he couldn’t come. Within an hour, Tommy was here and removed most of the stump so we could get out. He gave us a quote, recommended we address some potential problems, and the crew came and was here and gone before 5pm the same day. Saved our butts and we’re so grateful!

Safety

Our Team Can Spot Problems Early On

At Heartwood Tree Care, our certified arborists know how to identify early signs of distress in your trees, such as subtle changes in leaf color that may signal disease or flaking bark that may mean pests are burrowing into your favorite tree. By identifying these issues early, we can implement a wide array of corrective techniques to prevent minor issues from growing into major problems.

Additionally, we can identify damaged trees on your property with our tree risk assessments and help you safely remove them. With the assistance of our ISA-certified arborists in Charlotte and Asheville, NC, you can have confidence that your beloved plants will remain healthy and green.

We Have the Tools and Equipment

As a leading tree care company, we have access to many different specialized tools that cater to the specific needs of nurturing and maintaining plant life. From precision shears for cutting branches cleanly to soil aerators that promote oxygen and water flow to the roots, our professionals are trained to use these tools safely, efficiently, and effectively.

We Provide Safer Solutions for You and Your Plants

We care about safety, which is why you can have peace of mind knowing our certified arborists in Charlotte and Asheville are on the job. Our experts are trained in the best practices for tree removal, pruning, and plant health care to lower the chances of falling branches and other hazards. By removing limbs weakened by a storm, treating diseased trees, and addressing other hazards early on, we’ll help make your property a safer place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, tree pruning and tree trimming are different, even though the terms are often used interchangeably.

Pruning is a more targeted practice rooted in arboriculture and plant biology. It focuses on removing dead, diseased, or structurally weak limbs to improve the tree’s overall health, safety, and longevity. A tree trimming service, on the other hand, is designed to shape a tree, often without any consideration for the plant’s overall health. For this reason, we only provide professional pruning services.
