Your Local Tree Service in Newland
River Birch Tree Service is a locally owned, fully-insured tree company serving Newland — the Avery County seat and highest county seat in the eastern United States — and the rest of Avery County. We handle everything from a single hazardous removal to full land clearing, and storm calls go to the front of our schedule when a tree comes down.
Newland is a working town, and River Birch is the everyday crew its year-round residents rely on — hazard removals, shade-tree pruning, land clearing, and stump grinding at a fair price. Being central to Avery makes us an easy call for the whole county.
Tree Conditions in Newland
Newland is the seat of Avery County and, at about 3,600 feet, the highest county seat in the eastern US, set in the open Toe River valley ringed by wooded ridges. It's a year-round working town — older in-town lots with mature shade trees, surrounding farmland, and homes tucked against the timbered slopes.
Newland keeps us busy with everyday tree work for year-round residents — removing dead and hazardous hardwoods around homes and outbuildings, trimming mature shade trees, clearing acreage and fence lines, and grinding stumps. It's a central base for reaching the rest of Avery County.
Newland anchors the open Toe River valley near the junction of US-19E and NC-194, ringed by farmland and wooded ridges rather than the resort slopes of the higher towns. Older in-town lots carry mature shade trees over homes and the county buildings, and the surrounding acreage brings steady clearing, farm-tree, and stump work.

What Newland-Area Homeowners Say
Real 5-star Google reviews from around the High Country.
- Storm Emergency
I had a tree emergency from the last rain and wind we had in Boone NC. I called River Birch Tree Service and they came out to look that same day. I was amazed they came that soon! They came the next day and went hard to work with the mess I had. They really were a godsend! They worked very hard, and left my yard very neat. Everything was hauled off and there was a lot! I would recommend this business to anyone.
- Big Project
The crew performed an excellent job on the gigantic project I had for them at my cabin. The execution and eventual clean up was very professional. I would recommend anyone in need of small or large tree services to use this great company. I will definitely be using them for services in the near future. Thank you Ezekiel and crew!!
- Fallen Trees
Great owner and crew. Have had them remove and cut up many fallen trees and limbs of various sizes that were difficult to deal with, but they were able to handle them. They work fast and do a fantastic job with very good clean up. Follow instructions perfectly. Highly recommend them. The owner is very personable and a pleasure to work with.
