Winthrop Tree Service, based in Charleston, South Carolina, has been a leader in the tree care industry for over 30 years. Founded in 1994 by certified Arborists Gren Winthrop and Chris Gerards, the company originally operated as Historic Tree Preservation Inc. It quickly gained recognition for its exceptional services, expanding to five offices across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. In 2003, Historic Tree Preservation became a part of the Bartlett Tree Expert Company, attracting more customers with its renowned reputation for quality tree care. After a five-year non-compete agreement, Gren Winthrop relaunched his entrepreneurship spirit with the establishment of Winthrop Tree Service, LLC, along with a dedicated team.
As the company approaches its 30th anniversary, it continues to thrive with a focus on state-of-the-art equipment and an experienced staff of nearly 25 employees. Winthrop Tree Service specializes in a wide range of services, including tree pruning, removal, stump grinding, storm damage response, liquid services like deep root fertilization, and consultations. The company is particularly noted for its effective storm damage response, providing immediate attention during emergencies caused by hurricanes or severe weather conditions.
In 2024, Guencho Maldonado joined as co-owner, further strengthening the company's leadership. Winthrop Tree Service has recently earned the title of "Best Tree Care Company" in the Charleston City Paper's Best of Charleston 2024, a testament to its unwavering commitment to quality workmanship and exceptional customer service. The company thrives on building strong relationships with its clients, emphasizing communication and reliability.
