Charleston Tree Services
We’ve been serving the Lowcountry for over 25 years
Winthrop Tree Service is a fully insured and licensed company owned and operated by Arborist Gren Winthrop. We are the premier Charleston tree services company serving the Lowcountry.
In 1994, at age 28, Gren and fellow certified Arborist Chris Gerards moved to Hilton Head, South Carolina to start new lives and a new company called Historic Tree Preservation Inc (HTP). With a keen focus on customer satisfaction and exceptional service, Gren and Chris grew HTP to five offices throughout SC, NC & GA. By 2003 Historic Tree Preservation had become synonymous with quality and was the fastest growing residential and commercial tree care company in the southeast.
In September of 2003 they accepted an offer of acquisition from renowned international giant Bartlett Tree Expert Company and in doing so they signed a five year non-compete agreement that expired in September 2008.
With renewed energy and a core group of employees, Gren was excited to be back in business as Winthrop Tree Service, LLC.
As we enter our 25th year in business, Winthrop Tree Service continues to be the premier Charleston tree services company, with state-of-the-art equipment and nearly 25 employees. Our focus remains on quality work practices and exceptional service for our customers in the Charleston, South Carolina area.

Comprehensive Tree Care Solutions
Pruning
Enhance the health and aesthetics of your trees with our expert pruning services, ensuring safety and longevity.
Tree Removal
Trees grow larger and survive longer than any other living thing on earth. They can take hundreds or even thousands of years to grow yet in a short period of time can be weakened or destroyed by pests, disease, drought and storms.
Stump Grinding
Once a tree is down and removed from the property, only the stump remains. Stump grinding is an additional service that we provide with a portable machine that can access most backyards.
Storm Damage Cleanup
When hurricanes, ice storms and high winds throw trees on roofs, homes, vehicles and across roads and driveways, Winthrop Tree Service is the leader in disaster relief, providing prompt attention and the most experience in emergency situations.
Liquid Services
Specialized treatments to nourish and protect your trees from diseases and pests.
Firewood
While Winthrop Tree Service is not in the business of firewood for sale, we are pleased to cut, split, and stack wood from any trees we remove on your property. Or, if you wish to have split and seasoned hardwood delivered to your home, we can assist you in arranging it. Keep an eye out for our periodic firewood giveaway events, too!
Cabling & Bracing
Cabling and bracing can add additional support to certain structurally weak trees and leaders. These mechanical support systems can prevent damage, such as major trunk and branch failure. If we determine that your trees can benefit from cabling and bracing, we can often extend their lifetime – and the time you have to enjoy them.
Consultations
Whether it’s a tree survey in advance of a purchase or construction, or a letter to assess the health and safety of a tree prior to obtaining a tree removal permit, often it may warrant consulting an expert opinion. We will send a Board-Certified Master Arborist to assess your trees, advise next steps, and otherwise attend to your tree consultation needs.
