What areas of Upstate SC does Martin Tree and Turf Care serve?

Martin Tree and Turf Care serves 30+ communities across Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Pickens counties — including Greenville, Greer, Spartanburg, Anderson, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Easley, and Pickens. The crew is based at 155A Lister Rd in Greer and reaches most of the primary service area in 15–40 minutes.

How fast can you reach my property in Upstate SC?

Response times run 15–40 minutes across the primary service area, and 15–25 minutes across Greenville County since the crew is based in Greer. Anderson and Pickens counties sit at the southern edge of the service area, so drive times run slightly longer there. The emergency line is answered 24/7 for active hazards anywhere in the service area.

Do tree removal permit rules differ across the Upstate?

Yes — rules vary by county and by city. The City of Greenville requires a permit for every tree removal within city limits, regardless of size, and protected heritage trees carry additional mitigation. The City of Spartanburg has its own ordinance, though it exempts single-family homes and duplexes, and unincorporated county areas follow less restrictive county rules. Our ISA Certified Arborist (#SO-356834A) knows each jurisdiction's rules and handles documentation when it's required.

Which utility handles trees near my power lines in the Upstate?

It depends on your county. Duke Energy is the primary provider across Greenville and much of Spartanburg County, while Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative serves much of Anderson and Pickens counties — and their vegetation-management protocols differ. Utilities handle clearing on their side of the line, usually at no cost; Martin Tree and Turf Care handles clearance work on your private-property side.

Are there special rules for tree work near Lake Hartwell?

Yes. Lake Hartwell properties in Anderson County fall under SCDNR buffer-zone requirements for tree removal near the shoreline. Martin Tree and Turf Care factors those buffer rules into the plan and documentation before any shoreline tree work begins.

How Service Differs by County

Permit requirements, electrical providers, and tree ordinances vary by county and city. Martin Tree and Turf Care knows the rules for each jurisdiction and handles documentation when required.

Greenville County

Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Fountain Inn, Berea, Five Forks, Gantt

The City of Greenville requires a permit for every tree removal within city limits, regardless of trunk size — it is fast and easy to get. Protected heritage trees carry additional mitigation, and the City sets which trees qualify (Development Services, (864) 467-4476). Unincorporated Greenville County has less restrictive rules than the city. Duke Energy is the primary electrical provider — most tree work near power lines involves Duke vegetation management coordination. Martin Tree and Turf Care is based in Greer and typically responds within 15–25 minutes across the county.

Spartanburg County

Spartanburg, Boiling Springs, Duncan, Lyman, Inman, Wellford, Moore, Cowpens, Roebuck, Landrum, Campobello

Spartanburg city has its own tree ordinance. Unincorporated Spartanburg County falls under county rules, which differ from city regulations. Duke Energy and Upstate utility providers both operate here. Arborist reports signed by our ISA Certified Arborist (Cert #SO-356834A) are prepared for submission to Spartanburg County Planning and to insurance carriers.

Anderson & Pickens Counties

Anderson, Easley, Pickens, Liberty, Belton, Powdersville, Piedmont

Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative (not Duke Energy) serves much of Anderson and Pickens counties — vegetation management protocols differ from Duke. Lake Hartwell properties in Anderson County have SCDNR buffer zone requirements for tree removal near the shoreline. These counties sit at the southern edge of our service area — expect slightly longer drive times.

What Services Are Available in Each Area?

All services are available throughout the service area: tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, arborist consulting, tree risk assessment, storm cleanup, land clearing, and tree cabling and bracing. Our arborist is ISA Certified — arborist credentials backed by documented field hours and a passing score on the ISA exam. Emergency line is answered 24/7 for active hazards across the entire service area.
