Dunns Rock Tree Service – Expert Tree Care in Transylvania County’s Historic Community

Dunns Rock holds a unique place in Transylvania County history as the site of the area’s earliest summer colony. In the 1850s, wealthy plantation owners from the Charleston lowlands built estates here to escape the coastal heat—homes like the Montclove estate and Chestnut Hill that still echo the region’s architectural past. The area’s original stone hotel, known variously as the Rock Hotel, Connestee Hotel, or Dunn’s Rock Hotel, was the first lodging house in the county.

Today, Dunns Rock is a residential community with deep tree canopy, winding roads, and properties that often border forested slopes. Jenkins Tree Care serves homeowners here who value both the historical character of their land and the practical need to keep trees safe and well-maintained. Large oaks, maples, and hemlocks on aging root systems need periodic assessment—and when a tree reaches end of life near a historic structure, careful rigging and directional felling are non-negotiable. We also provide tree care in Brevard just up the road and serve the Pisgah Forest community to the north.

Our team understands the care required when working on properties with heritage significance. We minimize ground disturbance, protect surrounding vegetation, and clean the site thoroughly after every job. Whether it’s cabling a split-trunk tree over a driveway or removing a standing dead snag, Dunns Rock homeowners count on Jenkins Tree Care for work done right. Our service area also includes Cedar Mountain to the south and Penrose along the river.
