About Tommy Hicks Tree Service
When I started in 1999, I didn't have a master plan. What I had was a willingness to show up, learn the trade, and do the work myself. My family came alongside me early on, and we grew this business together the only way I knew how: by treating every job like it mattered, because it does. Over the years, I've pruned hundreds of trees, removed ones that had stood for generations, and planted saplings destined to shade someone's home decades from now. That hands-on approach isn't a strategy—it's just how I operate.
What I've learned is that tree care is intimate work. A tree removal can feel like losing something. A proper pruning can transform how a yard looks and feels. Stump grinding clears the way for what comes next. These aren't interchangeable tasks. They require attention, experience, and someone who cares about the outcome. I oversee every job myself because when I'm not on-site, I'm wondering if the work reflects what I'd do with my own trees.
'I'll run this business until I can no longer climb trees.'
— Owner, Tommy Hicks Tree Service
That's not bravado. It's the truth of how I feel about this work. Tree care isn't something I do; it's something I enjoy. The moment it feels like just a job is the moment to step back. That standard keeps me honest.
Oversight isn't micromanagement. It's the foundation of good work. When I'm overseeing every job, I know what's happening on your property. I can spot the branch that needs to come down before it becomes a problem. I can explain why a tree should be pruned a certain way. I can adjust the plan if conditions change. That's personal responsibility, and it's not negotiable.
We work throughout Holly Springs, serving homeowners who want tree care from someone who will show up, see the whole picture, and do the work right. Whether you need trimming, removal, pruning, planting, or stump grinding, you're working with someone who will be there and who cares about the result.
If you're ready to talk about your trees, reach out. I'd like to see what we're working with and talk through what makes sense. That conversation costs nothing, and it gives us both a clear picture of what comes next.
