When there is room to drop a tree in one piece, felling is the fastest, most economical way to take it down. United Tree Service provides controlled tree felling across Asheville, Hendersonville, Buncombe County, and Henderson County. Felling looks simple and is anything but. The direction a tree falls is set by precise cuts, the lean, and the wind — and getting it wrong can be costly. Our crew plans every fell so the tree lands exactly where intended, clear of structures, lines, and the trees you want to keep.

United Tree Service
Felling drops the whole tree at once and needs open space to do it safely. When a tree stands close to a house, a fence, or power lines, we switch to sectional removal instead — climbing and rigging it down piece by piece.
We assess every tree and choose the safe method for the site. If there is a clear, controlled path to the ground, felling is quick and cost-effective; if not, we take it down in sections.

Once the tree is down, we cut the wood to your preference, chip the brush, and haul away the debris. Add stump grinding and you finish with flat, usable ground.
