Contact Backcountry Tree Service Greer
Free Estimates and 24/7 Emergency Tree Calls
The quickest way to reach Backcountry Tree Service Greer is to call (864) 334-7887. If the job can wait a day or two, the quote form on this page works just as well: tell us what the tree is doing and we'll ring you back to arrange a visit. Estimates are free, and a tree down on a house or across a driveway gets an answer at any hour.
Our area takes in the Greenville County and Spartanburg County parts of Greer, along with Taylors, Duncan, Lyman, Wellford and the city of Greenville. You can read about all of our tree service in Greer on the homepage.
What to Tell Us When You Get in Touch
A few details on the phone or in the form's last box help us turn up with the right equipment:
- Which tree, and where it stands. Front yard or back, roughly how tall, and what kind if you know, such as a pine or a water oak.
- What's underneath it. A roof, deck, fence, carport or a service line running through the branches.
- The work you have in mind. Stump grinding, a tree removal, trimming, or clearing a lot. Not sure? Describe the problem and we'll suggest the fix.
- How a truck gets close. Gate widths, a steep bank, a septic field or a soft patch of lawn between the street and the tree.
- Your ZIP code. It tells us which town and county you're in, and which local rules apply to the job.
Towns and ZIP Codes We Cover
Greer's two delivery ZIP codes, 29650 and 29651, each take in land in both Greenville and Spartanburg counties, so a Greer address alone doesn't tell you which county you're in. We work across the whole of both. (29652 is used for post office boxes only.)
Around the city, we also cover:
- Taylors, 29687. A census-designated place in Greenville County, with its own Taylors tree service page.
- Duncan, 29334. A town in Spartanburg County, chartered in 1889.
- Lyman, 29365. A Spartanburg County town, incorporated in 1954.
- Wellford, 29385. A small city, also in Spartanburg County.
- Greenville. The city, about 12 miles from Greer, has its own page on tree work in Greenville.
If your ZIP isn't listed but you're close by, call and ask. We'll tell you straight whether you're inside our area.
Getting Equipment to Your Tree
Most of the planning for a job is about access, and that's where your answers help most. Compact stump grinders are built to reach back yards: Toro's STX-38, for example, is 34 inches wide, so it fits through a standard 36-inch gate. If your narrowest gate is smaller than that, or there's no gate at all, let us know before the visit.
Ground matters too. Much of the Piedmont's subsoil is deep red clay, and the SC Department of Natural Resources notes that wet clay is very sticky and plastic. With close to 50 inches of rain a year at the Greenville-Spartanburg airport weather station, right next to Greer, there are stretches when a lawn won't carry a loaded truck without rutting. Tell us if your yard stays soggy after rain, and we can plan the route or pick a drier day.
When you give us the address, a nearby main road helps too. US 29, SC 14, SC 101 and SC 290 run through Greer, SC 357 starts there, and I-85 passes about five miles south of downtown.
If It Can't Wait
Call (864) 334-7887 straight away if a tree has landed on your house, pinned a car or blocked the only way out of your drive. Don't use the form for an emergency, since a call reaches us faster. Our emergency tree service page explains what happens when we get there.
Wires first, tree second. If branches are lying on a power line, report it to your electric provider before you call us, and keep everyone well back. Greer CPW, the city's utility for electricity, gas and water, says it's available 24 hours a day for emergencies and outages; its number is (864) 848-5500. If a line is down or anyone is hurt, call 911.
What Happens After You Get in Touch
Once you've called or sent the form, we'll agree a time to meet you at the tree. You'll get a firm price for the work at that visit, and nothing is booked until you say yes. On the day, the crew cleans up after itself: wood and brush are hauled away unless you'd like to keep the logs, and the yard is raked.
Inside the city or out? Curbside limb pickup and the City of Greer's rules on burning and land disturbance are city services and ordinances, so whether your home sits inside the city limits changes what applies to your yard. The City keeps a city-limits layer on its GIS maps, and if you're not sure which side of the line you're on, its main number is (864) 848-2150. We'll check it with you at the estimate if it affects the job.
A Free Estimate, With No Strings
The visit costs nothing, and you're under no obligation once you have the price. The crews who carry out our jobs hold a license and carry insurance, and if you'd like proof, ask for the insurance certificate at the visit and look it over before you decide. Call (864) 334-7887 to set up a time.
Contact Us FAQs
Quick answers about getting hold of us and booking a visit.
What's the fastest way to reach you?
Phone (864) 334-7887. The form is fine for planned work, but for anything urgent a call gets through quicker.
Do you cover my area?
We work in Greer (29650 and 29651) and in Taylors, Duncan, Lyman and Wellford, and in the city of Greenville. If you're just outside those, ring and ask.
What happens after I send the quote form?
We ring you back on the number you gave us and agree a day to come out. At that visit you get a firm figure for the job.
Do I have to pay for the estimate?
No. The visit and the price are free, and you don't have to book anything afterwards.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
Usually not a firm one. The height of the tree, what's underneath it and how equipment reaches it all change the work, so we need to see it first.
Can I call outside normal hours?
For emergencies, yes, day or night. If a fallen tree is resting on your roof or has shut you in, ring us whatever the time.
Why does the form ask for my ZIP code?
Greer's ZIP codes cross the Greenville and Spartanburg county line, and local rules differ between the city and the counties. Your ZIP helps us check which apply before we visit.
