Straight Up Tree Service
is hereby recognized as a
TOP GUN Professional Business!
Caleb Watkins, you are considered a champion business owner for building and managing Straight Up Tree Service, a Tree and Lawn Services company in Buncombe County.
Small businesses are the backbone of an economy.
The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who often take many financial and business risks, provide employment opportunities, and add their creativity and ingenuity to the overall commerce of a local community, town, city, and county. Many business owners work long hours, endure challenging times, and make personal sacrifices.
Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified Straight Up Tree Service as a business that is appreciated by its customers and provides valuable services.
Straight Up Tree Service is built on a strong foundation of family tradition and hard work. Caleb Watkins began his journey in the industry working alongside his father and brothers in the family tree business. The roots of the company run even deeper, as his grandfather was a logger, and his father originally started the business in 1970. In 2016, Caleb took over operations, continuing the legacy while still occasionally working alongside his father. With over 50 years of combined family experience, the company reflects a long-standing commitment to quality craftsmanship.
From an early age, Caleb was taught the importance of pride and integrity in his work—values that continue to guide the company today. Beyond providing professional tree and lawn services, Straight Up Tree Service is also dedicated to giving back to the community. The company has sponsored local youth and school sports teams and has made meaningful efforts to support elderly residents with limited income. In some cases, they assist customers through the insurance process, and when needed, have even implemented a sliding scale to ensure services remain accessible to those less fortunate.
The company’s continued success speaks to the dedication and ability of Caleb Watkins to overcome the many business obstacles and barriers that are part and parcel to business ownership.
We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Caleb Watkins for past, present, and future contributions that Straight Up Tree Service and its staff have made and will make in Buncombe County.
