What Charleston Homeowners Are Saying

Called them after a big pine came down on my fence during a storm. They were out within two hours, had everything cleared, and even helped me document it for my insurance claim. Couldn't have asked for better service.

We had a massive Live Oak leaning toward our house. I was nervous about the whole thing. These guys came out, explained exactly what they were going to do, and executed it perfectly. Not a scratch on anything. Highly recommend.

Fair pricing, showed up when they said they would, and left the yard spotless. That's really all you can ask for. Will use them again for trimming in the spring.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal in Charleston, SC

It depends on the tree and where it’s located. The City of Charleston has a tree preservation ordinance that protects certain species  especially Live Oaks and trees above a specific trunk diameter. If your tree falls under the protected category, a permit is required before removal. Removing a protected tree without one can result in significant fines.

We check local ordinances before every job and handle the permit paperwork for you when needed. If you’re in the county rather than city limits, the rules are different and generally more relaxed. Either way, we’ll tell you exactly what’s required before we touch anything.

Tree removal pricing depends on height, access, and complexity — from small ornamentals under 30 ft ($250–$600) to very large 80+ ft trees requiring crane work ($2,000–$4,500+). Costs increase for tight access, proximity to structures or power lines, multiple trunks, or stump grinding ($100–$400 extra), and stay lower with open yard access and healthy tree structure. We provide free written quotes upfront — no surprise charges, no unnecessary upsells.

For most trees in the Charleston area, a trim every 2–3 years keeps them healthy and manageable. But Charleston’s climate — the heat, humidity, and hurricane season — means some trees need more frequent attention. Large Live Oaks and shade trees near your home should be assessed every year before storm season (that’s June through November). A single well-timed trim can dramatically reduce the risk of storm damage. Our arborist can walk your property and tell you exactly which trees need attention and how urgently.

Yes — and this is exactly what we’re built for. Removing trees near structures and utilities is high-stakes work that requires experienced climbers, proper rigging, and the right equipment. It’s not a chainsaw-and-hope situation. We use directional felling, sectional dismantling, and crane-assisted removal when needed to bring trees down without touching your roof, fence, or anything else. We do this every day across Charleston. If another company told you it couldn’t be done safely get a second opinion from us.

Sometimes. If a tree falls and damages a covered structure — your house, garage, or fence — most standard homeowner’s policies will cover the removal cost as part of the property damage claim. However, if a tree falls in your yard without hitting a structure, most insurers won’t cover the removal. And if a tree was visibly dead or diseased before it fell, your claim could be denied for negligence. We’ve helped many Charleston homeowners document storm damage properly for insurance purposes. Call us after a storm and we’ll help you through the process.

We haul everything away — branches, logs, stump grindings, all of it. Your yard will be cleaner when we leave than when we arrived. If you want to keep the wood for firewood, just tell us when you book. We’ll cut it to length and stack it wherever you want it on your property.
