About Us

Fulfilling Promises for Our Customers
Since 1989

Northwest Tree Service, LLC has served the High Country in Western North Carolina for over 30 years. 

Thomas Reed started our business in Ashe County, NC in 1989, as Northwest Lawn Care. Earning a reputation for accessibility and honest dealing, we grew quickly. Our focus on fully meeting all our customers’ needs led us to expand our offerings to include landscaping, pressure washing and tree services. Our tree services – especially tree removal and trimming – were so popular that we established Northwest Tree Service as a separate company in 2009.

Upon retirement, Thomas sold the Tree Service business to long-time foreman and tree expert Tommy Pennington. Tommy carries on the tradition of giving our customers their money’s worth, promptly returning phone calls and fulfilling commitments. 

You don’t entrust your home environment to just anyone, especially considering the danger involved in tree removal. You need the job done right which is what makes Northwest Tree Service your best choice. As one of the area’s leading tree service companies, we are fully insured and equipped to offer you the full line of tree care, tree removal, clearing and clean-up services.

Our Goal of outstanding service is to ensure you are pleased with the outcome of the project you’ve selected us to do and prove our gratitude for your decision to hire us.
