Your Local Tree Service in Seven Devils
River Birch Tree Service is a locally owned, fully-insured tree company serving Seven Devils — the high mountain town straddling the Watauga–Avery line — 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. At elevation, Seven Devils takes some of the heaviest ice and wind in the area — which is exactly when our fast storm response matters most.
At Seven Devils elevation, homeowners want a crew that won't flinch at a near-vertical lot or a hard ice storm. River Birch climbs and rigs where trucks can't go and puts storm calls at the front of the schedule when the weather turns — dependability that matters when you're this high on the mountain.
Tree Conditions in Seven Devils
Seven Devils climbs to 4,000–5,000 feet on the Watauga–Avery line, home to some of the steepest resort lots and the heaviest ice loading in the region. At this elevation the freeze-thaw and rime ice snap limbs and topple exposed conifers, and the near-vertical driveways make every removal a rigging job.
Storm and ice cleanup is the headline in Seven Devils — when a system hits, this is one of the first places trees come down. We also do view and hazard work on the steep resort-home lots, using climbing lines and lowering rigging where a truck or lift simply can't reach.
Seven Devils climbs above 4,000 feet on the Watauga–Avery line, with resort-home lots stacked up near-vertical switchbacks around Otter Falls and the old ski slopes. At this elevation rime ice and wind snap limbs and topple exposed conifers regularly, and the driveways are often too steep for a truck, so nearly every removal here is climbed and rigged by hand.

What Seven Devils-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.
Tree Service in Seven Devils — Common Questions
Quick answers for Seven Devils homeowners about removal, storms, insurance, and estimates.
-
Do you work the steep, high-elevation lots in Seven Devils?
Yes — steep is the norm up here. We climb and rig removals on grades where equipment can't go, and our crew is ready to move fast when ice and wind bring trees down at elevation. -
Do you work the steep switchback lots in Seven Devils?
Yes — near-vertical driveways are the norm up here. Where equipment can't reach, we climb the tree and lower it in pieces on rigging lines, keeping every section off the house and the road below. -
How bad does ice get in Seven Devils, and are you ready for it?
At this elevation it's some of the heaviest in the region — rime ice loads limbs until they fail. Our crew stays on call through ice season and Seven Devils is one of the first places we head when a system moves through. -
