Your Neighbors in the High Country
River Birch Tree Service LLC is a locally owned tree company based right here in Deep Gap, North Carolina. Owner Ezequiel Moreno founded River Birch in 2020, and we've earned a 5.0-star rating on Google by doing tree work the right way across Boone, Blowing Rock, and all of Watauga County.
We're a true Service Area Business — we come to you. From a single hazardous removal tight against your house to clearing a whole mountain lot for a new build, one local, fully-insured crew handles the job from the free estimate to the final rake-down. And when an ice storm or windstorm brings a tree down, we answer 24/7, because we live and work in the same mountains you do.
What We Believe
Good tree work is equal parts skill and respect — skill to bring a big tree down safely near your home and the power line, and respect for your property, your time, and your view. We show up when we say we will, tell you honestly whether a tree needs to come down or can be saved with good pruning, carry insurance on every job, and leave your yard cleaner than we found it.
One local crew, from the free estimate to the final cleanup
We answer our own phone, give the estimate ourselves, and do the work ourselves — no call center, no runaround. Fully insured, 5.0★ rated on Google, and based in Deep Gap so we're already in the High Country when you need us.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying
Real 5-star Google reviews from homeowners across Deep Gap, Boone, and 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.
- 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.
- Retaining Wall
What a great experience with Ezequiel and his crew. One of the few landscapers who actually called me back and gave me a quote. His quote was fair and he actually got new retaining wall done ahead of schedule. He was the most detailed in his initial inspection than anyone else. We also opted to use for several other landscaping projects as well. We highly recommend him for any tree or landscaping in the High Country.
- Landscaping
It's rare to find someone who is passionate about working these days, but Ezequiel and his team are focused on making sure that their customers are happy. He worked with me to resolve a landscaping problem and the end results were amazing. I have full confidence in his ability to tackle anything!
- Trimming & Removal
I had a couple of leaning trees removed and branches trimmed from another tree. The service was professional and cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend River Birch Tree Service.
- 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!!
