Your Local Tree Service in Vilas
River Birch Tree Service is a locally owned, fully-insured tree company serving Vilas — the rural community west of Boone along Highway 421 — 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.
Out in Vilas, folks want a tree company that understands farm and acreage work, not just a quick fell-and-leave. River Birch takes the time to drop trees clear of barns and fences, haul off what needs hauling, and grind stumps so the ground is ready to use — the kind of thorough work that earns a rural community's trust.
Tree Conditions in Vilas
Vilas spreads west of Boone along US-421 at around 2,900 feet, a mix of open farmland and wooded hillsides in the Cove Creek drainage. Fence-line hardwoods, roadside trees along 421, and the big shade trees around older farmhouses are what we're most often called to on Vilas properties.
In Vilas we do a lot of straightforward removals and clearing on acreage — taking down dead or storm-split hardwoods, opening up pasture and building sites, and grinding stumps so the ground can be mowed or planted. Larger lot-clearing jobs are common here where folks are reclaiming overgrown farmland.
Vilas spreads along US-421 and the side roads into the Beaverdam and Cove Creek drainages, a working landscape of pasture, farmsteads, and wooded hillsides. The big shade trees around older farmhouses and the fence-line hardwoods between fields are the recurring calls here, along with clearing overgrown bottomland folks want back in use.

What Vilas-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.
