Working in Charleston
Hurricanes and strong storms turn overgrown or weak trees into a roof risk, and growth is fast all year. Ask for pruning before storm season, clearance from roofs and power lines, and how emergency cleanup is prioritized after a major storm.
Charleston is the largest city in South Carolina, a major Atlantic port, and a primary aerospace (Boeing) and hospitality market.

Questions
Do you take tree removal and tree care jobs in Charleston?
Yes. Requests from Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, New York and the rest of South Carolina are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.
Can a tree near my house be pruned instead of removed?
Often, yes. Branches over the roof, dead wood and a crown that is too dense can be pruned back, and a weak fork can sometimes be supported with cables. Removal makes sense when the tree is dead or dying, leans badly toward something, or has serious decay in the trunk or roots.
When is the best time to prune trees?
For most deciduous trees, late winter while they are dormant: the structure is easy to see and the cuts close well in spring. Dead, broken or dangerous branches can be removed any time. Some species, such as oaks in areas with oak wilt, should not be pruned in spring and early summer.
A storm brought a tree down. What should I do first?
Stay away from it, especially if it is touching any wires, and contact your electric utility if lines are involved. Take photos for your insurer. Then send the details by email, noting that it is storm damage, whether the tree is on a structure, and whether a driveway or door is blocked.
Who handles trees near power lines?
Lines on the street poles are the electric utility's responsibility, and only qualified line-clearance teams can work near them. Branches near the service line to your house may need the utility to disconnect or cover it first. Mention any wires near the tree in your email so the right specialist reviews it.
How do I get a quote?
