"They arrived and went straight to work removing 2 palm trees. I went inside for a moment with the intension of returning to watch them work and both trees were gone. Albert moved the stump grinder into position and removed the second stump. They moved all the grindings, stumps, etc. swept the paved areas and blew off the dust. Great Job."

"I had 4 big oak trees that had to come out and fencing that I didn't want destroyed. These guys got the trees out and never touched the fence. They hauled the debris and raked up the small stuff to take. Trimmed up other oaks to make mowing easy. Prices go with the market but I really think they went over the top."

"I used Shawn at SouthState for underbrush clearing, tree removal, mulching, and general land cleanup on my 5-acre property in Oakes Estates. He transformed what looked like a dense forest into something that resembles a national park. I've hired other companies for similar projects in the past, but Shawn's work truly stood out. First, when he says he'll be there, he shows up—a quality that's harder to find than it should be. Second, SouthState uses top-of-the-line equipment, which makes a noticeable difference in both the quality and efficiency of the work. What impressed me most, however, was Shawn's knowledge and willingness to walk me through the pros and cons of the different service options. He helped me understand that the cheapest option isn't always the best value. Spending a little more to have the job done correctly the first time can save a lot of money and frustration compared to hiring someone later to fix another contractor's mistakes. Highly recommended"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.
