Your Local Tree Service in Sugar Grove
River Birch Tree Service is a locally owned, fully-insured tree company serving Sugar Grove — the Cove Creek–area community in western Watauga County — and the rest of Watauga 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.
Sugar Grove families call River Birch because we're comfortable on the steep, creek-cut ground the Cove Creek valley is known for, and because we clean up like we'd want our own place left. Careful rigging and a tidy finish are why our name gets passed around the valley.
Tree Conditions in Sugar Grove
Sugar Grove sits in the Cove Creek valley in western Watauga County at about 2,900 feet, where farmland along the creek bottoms gives way to steep wooded slopes. Streamside hardwoods and the timber on those steep valley walls are what most often need attention on Sugar Grove properties.
Sugar Grove jobs tend to run toward removals on sloped, wooded lots and clearing along creek bottoms and field edges. We handle storm-damaged trees over homes and outbuildings, and we bring the equipment and rigging to work safely on the grades that come with this valley.
Sugar Grove sits in the Cove Creek valley around the old high school, where creek-bottom farmland climbs quickly into steep, timbered slopes. Streamside hardwoods leaning over the water and the pine and hemlock on those valley walls are the trees we're called to most, and the grade means almost everything here is a rigging job rather than a straight fell.

What Sugar Grove-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.
