A Town Named for Its Trees

Tree Removal in Pineville has a certain irony to it: the town takes its name from "the large and abundant pines that cast their shadows over the community." Originally called Morrow's Turnout, it was renamed Pineville around 1852 and incorporated in 1873. Today Pineville is a town of about 10,600 people (2020 census) wedged between Charlotte and the South Carolina line, about eight miles north of Fort Mill. Pines are still part of the picture, along with the hardwoods that line its creeks.

Tall pines near houses

A mature pine in a yard can be 80 feet or taller, with most of its weight high up. Pines are generally fine in a stand, but a lone pine next to a house deserves periodic checks. Things that bring us to Pineville yards:

Pitch streaming from many small holes in the bark, which can signal bark beetles in a stressed tree.
A crown that has turned from green to yellow or red-brown over a few weeks.
A new lean, or soil cracking and lifting on one side of the base after heavy rain.
Lightning strikes, which often leave a spiral strip of missing bark down the trunk.

A dying pine dries out quickly and becomes brittle, which makes it more dangerous to climb the longer it stands. If a pine near your home is browning, do not wait for spring.

Two creeks through town

Sugar Creek and Little Sugar Creek drain Pineville, passing west and east of the town center on their way south toward the Catawba River. Lots near the creeks have wetter soils and bottomland trees. Wet soil plus a heavy crown is the classic recipe for a tree that tips over at the roots in a storm. When we assess a creekside tree, we look as closely at the ground as at the trunk.

Mill-era homes and a busy rental market

Pineville's Dover Yarn Mills opened a cotton mill in the 1890s; it later became Cone Mills and ran until November 1991. The older streets near the old mill and downtown have older homes and mature trees on modest lots. Census QuickFacts reports that 48.9% of Pineville homes are owner-occupied and that 77.5% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier, which points to a lot of renters and turnover. If you are a landlord, we can work from your photos and send the estimate to you directly.

Rules to check

Check with the Town of Pineville before removing trees on property tied to development or a new building permit, and with your HOA if you have one. Trees in a street right of way may belong to the town or to NCDOT; do not cut those without permission. If a tree is tangled in electric lines, call the utility first.

Pineville Questions

My pine is turning brown from the top. Can it recover?

Usually not. A pine whose crown turns yellow, then red-brown, over a few weeks is typically dying, often from beetles attacking a stressed tree. Removing it soon is safer and often cheaper, because a dead pine becomes brittle and harder to climb.

Are creekside trees more likely to fall?

They can be. Wet soil holds roots less firmly, and creek banks erode over time. If a tree near Sugar Creek or Little Sugar Creek has started to lean or the soil around its base is cracking, have it checked.

I rent my house. Can I hire you to remove a tree?

The property owner has to approve tree work. We are happy to send the estimate to your landlord or property manager, or talk with them directly.
