I just had two trees removed and several pruned. These guys showed up on time and were very professional. They cleaned up after all the work was done and the stump removal makes it look like the trees were never there! Very happy with them and will be using them again.

They were able to get up into an old oak without using spikes, and remove the branches threatening our roof in a timely manner. The only thing I don't like is that there doesn't seem to be a way to pay online, but they compensate by sending you a pre-stamped return envelope with your invoice.

We had tree roots that had gotten so big they were breaking up our concrete driveway and growing under our foundation. Charleston Stump Stompers were knowledgeable, efficient, and professional in all their work, and the work was done at a fair price. We couldn’t be happier.

FAQ's

There are a few different benefits that come from tree removal. Dead trees on your property can be a safety risk. These trees can fall randomly, or they can be knocked over with strong winds during a storm. If the trees end up falling on your home or onto other trees, this can be a dangerous and damaging situation.

You can also remove trees if they are located in areas that just aren’t convenient. You don’t want trees to be too close to your home. You should never have trees touching your roof or siding as this can lead to bug issues and water damage. If you’re planning to install a pool or patio in your yard, you may need to remove trees to make space for these things.

Tree trimming and pruning should be done by a knowledgeable tree service company. If a tree is over-trimmed or trimmed incorrectly, it can die. Even taking off a couple of branches the wrong way can lead to other areas of the tree becoming damaged or dying.

If trimming is being done for aesthetic purposes, there are certain ways to do this. You don’t want to take too much off the top of the tree, and branches should be trimmed very carefully to ensure that the tree still looks full and healthy. There should never be too much taken off of one area without being able to balance things out on the other side.

Trimming a tree is done for the purpose of aesthetics. The goal is to change the tree’s shape and overall look. If you don’t do this periodically, a tree can start to look overgrown and unhealthy. If you have trees close to your property line, neighbors may want you to cut them. Overgrown branches can damage the overall health of the tree. If you have overgrown branches or too many branches, those branches may be consuming too much of the water needed by the rest of the tree.

Tree pruning is used to change the overall shape of a tree, but it also assists with your tree’s health. If diseased branches are left on the tree, and other trees are nearby, this can lead to other trees becoming infected and the problem spreading to other areas of the tree. Pruning often promotes your tree to grow more and become fuller. There’s a fine line that you don’t want to cross though; excessively pruning your tree can kill it.

Trimming a tree is a lot like getting a haircut. After getting a nice trim, your hair looks healthier and fuller, and the same is true of trees. When you have your trees professionally trimmed, it can make your trees look much healthier. They can become healthier overall thanks to the removal of dead and diseased branches.

You also want to make sure that your property is safe from the trees that are on it. Keep overgrown branches away from your home and windows. If anything is overhanging a play area where your kids frequent or you have a lot of dead branches intertwined with other healthy trees, it’s likely time to have a tree trimming procedure performed.

Tree service prices for removal can vary quite a bit depending on what you’re having done. Larger trees will be more expensive, especially if there’s a lot of material to haul away and if a stump needs to be removed. We can provide you with an estimate of services if you would like us to take a look at your property. We would be happy to provide you with any advice that you need.

Damage to your trees from a storm doesn’t always mean that you have to remove a tree completely. Certain types of damage can be addressed by properly wrapping a branch so that it can continue to grow and heal. Trimming a tree can sometimes remove the damaged areas without having to take the whole thing down. A professional can tell you what can be done and what your options are for tree care in Charleston, SC.

It’s not safe to remove a tree near your home if you’re taking on the process yourself. However, a professional can very effectively and safely remove a tree situated too close to a structure on your property. You don’t want a tree to grow too close to your home, so regular trimming and pruning are necessary. A general rule of thumb is to keep your trees about 20 feet away from your home.

Pruning a tree is done to remove any amount of dead or diseased branches that are present. This will help to protect the tree and the other plants around it. You want to make sure that your tree is only growing the branches that are healthy and safely attached to the tree. Everything else should be removed. You can also prune your trees to control their growth, encourage stronger growth, and remove unnecessary parts like suckers located near the tree’s trunk.

Proper equipment and safety gear should be used for the pruning process. This includes gloves, safety glasses, a hard hat, and equipment for cutting. Access to high-up branches is usually required, so ladders or other equipment may be needed for that as well. It’s best to let experienced, and certified professionals take on these jobs. A little bit should be removed at a time, making sure the tree continues to look balanced and healthy.

Sometimes, trees fall because of a storm, even if those trees didn’t show any signs of weakness before that point. Other trees may have signs of falling if you inspect them properly. Look for dead branches that look like they’re hanging lower than they should be. Larger branches or the main trunk may have a split in them that could give away with some bad weather or a strike of lightning. Your tree may also be shedding its own branches, which shows that it is weak.

While you can’t always pinpoint the day and time that a tree on your property was planted, you can estimate its approximate age. You want to start by measuring the trunk of the tree about four feet above ground level. Figure out the diameter of the tree by dividing the circumference of the tree by 3.14. Then, figure out the radius by dividing the diameter by two. If you know the type of tree you’re examining, do some research to figure out the average ring width. You can also look at other trees in the area that may have fallen or been cut down. Divide the radius by the ring width to figure out the age of your tree in years.
