We had Royce remove a tree that was blocking the driveway. Royce and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They clearly knew what they were doing and were professional and efficient. I would definitely recommend them.
Kimberly Near Client

We had Royce’s Tree Service remove several trees on our property. He was extremely easy to work with, prompt, and fairly priced. The day he removed the trees, we were not home. Upon returning home, it seemed like the trees had magically disappeared. There was no sign that he was ever there, no remaining branches, leaves, etc; just missing trees. I would recommend Royce’s Tree Service in a heartbeat, and will definitely be using him again when the need arises.
Erika Richie Client

Extremely professional and attentive to the customers needs. Their prices beat any other estimates I’ve received by leaps and bounds. Look no further, Royce and his crew are the team you have been looking for!
Ben Ross Client

Royce and his crew took down a tree for us on Feb. 20. We couldn’t be more pleased. Access was through the property of two different neighbors, yikes! We were worried because the last tree we had taken down (by a different tree service) ruined the yard of a different neighbor and badly damaged another tree. Royce assured us that there would be little to no damage. He even went and met with both of the neighbors to go over the plan. He and the crew showed up on time. They put down mats to protect the neighbor’s yard. And, the tree was down in about 1/2 a day. The crew picked up every last stick and twig. If the tree wasn’t missing, you’d never know they set foot in the yards. Not a blade of grass out of place. Like tree ninjas. Royce was so nice and accommodating and very responsive to phone calls and texts. The next tree that needs removed . . . and there will be others, he’s our guy. Thanks!
Rebekah Reid Client

I needed an assessment of some questionable trees on my property and was in an urgent situation. Royce was recommended to me by a very reputable landscape designer. He came out within the hour that I contacted him and was able to inspect the trees and give a thorough assessment of the trees. He was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Royce and Royce’s Tree Service!
Susan Stone Client

Royce and his crew removed 3 large trees from our property yesterday and we were very pleased with everyone’s professional attitude and performance. Our job required a crane. Royce and the crane operator from Dover Crane worked together as one unit and the removals were flawless. It’s very unnerving to see big chunks of trees being floated over your house! His crew did a great job of cutting and shredding the tree pieces as they were placed in the staging area and the cleanup was excellent. We are so glad we chose Royce for the job!
Rich Stevenson Client

Never have I seen a tree service as good as Royce. He is a certified arborist who calls back promptly, gives quick estimates, and arrives on time. His crew is professional and work together amazingly well. With their headsets to communicate, the crew doesn’t need to yell back and forth to each other.
Brotherhug Barlow Client

I would like to commend you on a job well done. Your courteous and professional crew did an outstanding job taking down and disposing of 5 problematic maples and clearing a veritable jungle for future planting. From set up to clean up, my husband and I were amazed at your skilled artisans. Every stroke of the saw was well thought out, never haphazard or reckless. We were impressed that each man was equipped with ear protection, helmets with communication, safety boots and saw-proof pants. Royce’s Tree Service is a tight knit group of hard-working and educated professionals whom I would highly recommend. We’re looking forward to working with Jonathan, Korey and your crew again.
Aimee & Joe Hanna Clients

Excellent service, and immediate. Priced well. Able to do the job at 1/2 the competition, who never came after numerous requests. Royce is excellent!
Jeffery Garland Client

When 4 trees fell on my roof early on a Sunday morning, Royce came out the same day to assess the situation and protect the roof from further water damage. He provided an estimate the same day. The trees were removed that week. Royce was prompt and professional throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him as a trusted contractor who delivers quality results as promised.
T P Client

Our condo association has engaged Royce’s Tree Service for a variety of projects since 2008, including pruning, cabling, and removal of small, medium, and VERY large trees. It was evident from our first consultation that Royce is highly knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and his proposals are professional and detailed.
On the three separate projects Royce and his crew completed for us, their process and safety measures were clearly communicated in advance of the work, and they left the site clean of debris when the work was finished. Many of our residents marveled at the attention to safety, efficiency, and cleanliness, and I feel safe in saying Royce is our go-to guy for any tree work in the future.
Cindy Stubbs Board Member, Hollybrook Condo Association

The level of enthusiasm, professionalism, and quality work cannot be beat. Royce and his crew were amazing! They quickly removed a large cherry tree, two Box Elders, and some assorted small trees within a few hours. The entire area was cleaned up, and all wood was removed. Thank You Royce!
Brian Burns Client

Royce and his crew are very knowledgeable and professional. They responded to my calls and texts in a timely manner, and were very courteous and helpful. They provided much useful information, and the work done was exactly what was agreed upon. They worked efficiently, respectfully, and cleaned up the site well. I would consult them again.
Virginia Pardo Client

It is a pleasure for me to offer reference to Royce Clay. In my capacity as Vice President, Attraction Operations Support, I have had the opportunity to work with Royce over the past several years. Royce demonstrates outstanding leadership skills and shows a strong commitment to safety. Royce’s experience and knowledge in Arboriculture has proven him to be an invaluable asset to the Biltmore Company. I highly respect Royce for his initiative to work hard and provide high quality work. I recommend Royce Clay without reservation.
Rick Conard Vice President Attraction Operations Support, Biltmore Estate

We had some giant Cypress trees removed from a very tight spot. Royce and the crew were professionals from start to finish. They seem focused on safety and detail. They showed up on time and even worked through a couple hours of hard rain. They cleaned up the site. Every time i (sic) asked a question or expressed a concern the crew took the time to answer. Royce is extremely knowledgeable about trees and answered my nerdy tree questions. These guys charge a bit more but it’s worth it!
Philip Aschliman Client

5 stars! These folks are the utmost professionals and have the best hearts! Royce Tree donated their time and equipment to our first work day for BeLoved Asheville’s Tiny House Village for folks in our community in need of deeply affordable housing. If you hire them, they will get the job done and you can feel good knowing you support a business that truly cares about our community!!!
Amy Cantrell Client

Eli, Noah, and Korey were fantastic! They were right on time, reviewed the plan with us and got to work immediately. We appreciated their suggestions and insight – true professionals in all sense of the word. They worked very efficiently – one climbing while one took limbs to the chipper and the third did lower work. They completed the job in a most timely manner and left the yard in better shape than when they arrived. We would hire them again and highly recommend Royce’s Tree Service. Not sure I have ever seen a harder working crew!
Hannah Parks Client

Royce responded to my contact form online right away and scheduled an appt to check out my trees. I thought my sugar maples had wetwood and was worried I’d lose them. He arrived on time and was friendly, informative, enthusiastic and direct. He gave me pointers on how to care for my trees and referred me to a soil test professional which was super helpful. I learned so much! I HIGHLY recommend Royce and his company. I will definitely be calling them for anything tree related.
Karma Dog Teacher Client

Royce and his team did an outstanding job removing a troublesome tree – at reasonable cost. From start to finish, Royce and his guys were prompt, friendly, professional, thorough, and tidy. I would not hesitate to use them again, or to recommend them to others.
Tam Poarch Client

There’s nothing more appealing than an arborist who is reluctant to cut down trees. Or maim them…! After talking to Royce we reduced the scope of the work we wanted done significantly. He has a very 21st century way of doing business (we received the quote — with video details — via email right on the spot) — clear communication, very reasonable prices. I was at work when they came to do the job but returned to perfect, careful cleanup. Highly recommend him!
Tahani Sticpewich Client

Excellent service, professional and courteous. Royce and his crew removed a small pine tree near my driveway. With power lines and cars nearby I knew I needed a professional. They were safe, conscientious, and pleasant to deal with. Royce also addressed some concerns I had with other trees on the property. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and I was relieved to hear that currently we had nothing to worry about. I am thrilled to have such an awesome tree company and resource available when needed. Thanks so much!
Theodore Blackwood Client

Royce and his crew were very professional systematic friendly energetic got the job done efficiently and safely; thoroughly cleaned up all debris. The best we’ve seen for tree removal!
Joan Moran Client

Royce’s Tree Service is really good and fair. I’ve used them several times, and Royce is very professional. Highly recommended.
Ron Katz Client

Royce is thoughtful and serious, always considering every aspect of every job. He has tremendous follow through. I entrust him with my properties and recommend him to friends.
Susan Roderick Executive Director, Asheville Greenworks

Royce is awesome! He was easy to get a hold of, got the job done fast, and didn’t leave a giant mess for us to deal with. We will definitely call him again if we need more tree work.
Margarita Gonzalez Client

Very responsive, affordable, punctual, friendly, professional and does a great job! Highly recommend!
Ann Jowers Client

Eli came to remove two pines that were hung up on other trees. He explained what he was going to do and with the help of Korey and Jonathan completed the job with utmost professionalism and expertise! It’s such a pleasure to see such enthusiasm and talent in performing great results under difficult circumstances. Well done crew!
John & Joan Moran Clients

Royce’s Tree Service was terrific! Royce was extremely responsive, and great at texting (my preferred method of communication). They were able to accommodate my schedule on short notice and did a fantastic job removing a couple of limbs that were scraping my roof. Would highly recommend them to anyone!
Alicia Kaiser Client

Royce’s Tree Service; he and his crew removed some 120 ft Poplar trees and 4 other ones from my property. Very professional. My community uses them, too, for trees on HOA property. Great crew! His bid came well within the range of my other bids.
Susan Poor Client

I had a beast of a wisteria tree that was taking down my carport and Royce’s crew did an amazing job taming it! They are extremely professional, cleaned up all of the debris from the removal and were kind and thoughtful during the removal. I will use them again if the need arises and highly recommend them to anyone needing tree work. Thank you for the job well done!
Ally Karge Client

They were so helpful, on time and did a super job! After getting rained out the first go around, they came back in a very reasonable amount of time to do the job. Highly recommended! And they were less expensive, friendlier and more informative than the other arborist we got a quote from.
Virginia Kobylarz Client

Royce came promptly to our home to assess our situation. His honest opinion was to leave the tree. I appreciated his honesty on something that could have been a very expensive job. Thanks Royce.
Cassie Ryalls Client

They were professional, clean and efficient. I will definitely use them in the future.
Jo Dee Rodgers Client

I recommend Royce Clay without hesitation for arboricultural consultation, tree development, maintenance and removal. I have known Royce personally and professionally for 8 years. His concerns for tree health and care for the environment are evident in all his work. Royce’s approach to his business reflects this.
Not only have I seen his work on the Biltmore Estate, I have personally relied on him for arborist services. The arboriculture field is challenging; blending tree physiology, biology, safe climbing and rigging techniques, and material logistics. As a true professional, Royce is a committed individual that keeps up with the latest information and practices in these fields.
Parker Andes Director of Horticulture, Biltmore Estate

These guys are awesome! Our huge magnolia was damaged in the snowstorm, and the first company I called couldn’t come out until late January. We didn’t want to wait that long — we have four kids and the magnolia is in our front yard and was definitely a safety hazard for the kiddos. I contacted Royce’s Tree Service and they came out today and did a wonderful job. Super friendly, and reasonably priced. Will definitely use them again.
Sonja Essen Client

We were needing to have 2 trees and 2 shrubs either trimmed or removed. After contacting several arborists and asking each to evaluate our situation, we chose to ask Royce to do the work. He explained fully his recommendations, and because we have tenants currently living in the home, sent a video and walked the yard explaining everything. When finished, he sent another video showing the removal so we knew exactly how things went. I will certainly call him again if we need any more work.
Ed Perregaux Client

I wish all businesses I interact with were like Royce’s Tree Service. I had same day communication, clear expectations, and everything was done so professionally. My boyfriend tried to talk down the quoted price and Royce kindly explained to us the fees associated with our job and the fact they carry workers comp insurance on everyone, which is surprisingly NOT the case with many tree services. I may have gotten a quote elsewhere, but I’m so glad I did not waste my time with that as the job was perfectly done – they even cleaned the dirt off my walkway afterwards. AWESOME! Thank You.
Blue De Leeuw Client

Returned our call immediately. Did a top-notch job and gave us the best bid of 3 companies. I’ve already referred folks.
Ciel Walko Client

Hey there – just wanted to thank you for doing an awesome job! I wouldn’t have even known you were here…except for the missing trees of course.
Karen Blackman Client

We had a great experience having Royce’s team come help us trim our massive oak trees in our backyard. Not only did Royce and his team help educate us on which branches were top priority, but they also explained the long-term health of our trees and gave recommendations on how to keep them healthy over the long-haul. We had another company come out a year prior to do an evaluation and they were going to cut a bunch of limbs that Royce explained didn’t need to be cut and in fact would have ended up damaging the trees themselves. We are SO glad we waited and went with Royce’s company instead. Our trees are healthier than ever and we will be hiring them for any future work in a heartbeat! If you care about your yard like we do, I highly recommend this professional and caring team!!
Jennifer Blatnik Client

Initially, I contacted Royce looking for chips for our raised bed area. He delivered a LARGE load of chips, then we discussed tree work for my yard. He was easy to work with, and provided a through estimate of work requested. He and his crew were extremely meticulous, raking debris and blowing chips to leave my yard looking great. I would highly recommend Royce and would definitely contact him again when additional yard work is needed.
Bari Gulsby Client

Royce and crew did a thorough and professional job when they took down a cluster of four large oaks and a maple for us. The largest oak falls into the huge category and since it was dying, presented a potential danger to us and our neighbors. It’s great not to have to worry about that anymore. Plus, I have enough mulch to cover a good portion of our back slope. Thanks guys!
David Herring Client

Fantastic service! Royce’s communication was super prompt with each question that I had (often using texts). Upon request, his insurance provider was just as prompt in sending that information also. The crew showed up exactly when scheduled, were very respectful and friendly, worked hard all day, cleaned up the job site leaving no mess, and had me inspect everything before they packed up to make sure all was completed as requested! They were working in a very narrow channel between a garage, our driveway, and a ditch. They managed to bring down multiple trees without damaging anything. The crew was awesome and, again, I cannot praise the communication process enough.
Furman Angel Client

The best in Asheville. We have used Royce’s tree service for all of our recent jobs at the house and they have always been professional and friendly. My favorite part about them is the owner, Royce. He is always so nice to our family and he even remembers my two dogs names! Every job they have done for us has been reasonably priced, clean, and timely. I can’t recommend anyone higher. A gem here in AVL.
Yuri Federman Client

Royce is the only arborist we’d hire. He runs his business with integrity. We’ve had him do work for us at least 3 times and been pleased each time. His rates are fair, his work is great and he pays his crew a living wage.
Emily H Client

The guys that came out did a very good job. Very professional, informative and friendly. I would certainly like you all to continue to be our tree experts. I even got a lesson on tent caterpillars. I also appreciated how well the guys cleaned up when they were done.
Dave Tanenbaum Client

After completing the agreed-upon service, the crew reviewed with us what had been done, and happily answered questions we had regarding additional work (i.e., is it something we, the renters or homeowner, could safely do ourselves, or should we have them out a second time). In all, Royce’s Tree Service provided an exemplary experience, and both we and the homeowner will be contacting them for any future tree work, at this home or elsewhere in the area!
Rachel Mongno Client

My husband and I were fortunate to have latched on to the dream team! Royce and Stephen provided a well-organized process that included a thoughtful and comprehensive site visit that significantly reduced the scope of the work that we had anticipated. Scheduling was prompt. We had the pleasure to collaborate with a team of well-informed and experienced staff who were communicative, efficient, courteous, and savvy. They thoughtfully pruned trees to open our view while preserving the aesthetic of our landscape and the integrity of our mountain community. Royce had diagnosed two trees that were diseased and was on hand to swiftly and uneventfully remove them. Royce’s goal is not to simply prune and remove trees. Royce is also on a mission to educate and provide best practices for the management of trees, etc. that’s evident through the resources that he provides for us on his website. We are looking forward to collaborating again with Royce, Stephen, and the rest of the gang! Kudos to you all and thanks!
Gail Gallo Client

We have used Royce Clay and his team four times. They do an excellent job. We will continue to use him and now, his specialty team for Plant Health Care, to nurse some of ailing spruces and dogwoods back to health.
Wendy Whitson Client

This was the second time Royce has done tree work for us. Royce and his crew are very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He videos what you want done to ensure everyone’s on the same page, sends it to you with the cost to complete it. They do excellent work and we will call him again when the need arises. Thank you Royce and crew for the great job(s)!
