"I never write reviews because most people just give average service and I see no point in writing a review just to describe an average experience. These guys went above and beyond and did not ask me to write this, I'm writing this only because the great work they did made me happy. They removed 2 large trees and some small bushes. I had 4 companies give estimates for the job. Stump Stompers sent a professional estimator out the day after I called them. The other three services took a week to even give an estimate, if they even bothered. I called them several times before I finally agreed to the contract. Every time I either reached somebody or they called me back promptly, even if I didn't leave a message. Most contractors around here you have to call repeatedly and leave multiple messages. When I signed the contract, they told me 2 weeks and they were out here in two weeks. The other contractors were booking 6 weeks out and who knows when they will show up. And the cherry on top was they were the lowest bid. When they came out to do the work, I asked them to remove 3 large bushes that I hadn't included in the original contract. The owner, who actually does tree work himself along with his crew, gave me a great price for the additional work. I asked them to chop up some of the wood into firewood sized logs and they did it for free. They probably spent an hour cleaning up after the job and my driveway is cleaner then before they came. Do not hesitate to hire these guys!"

"I contacted three different tree services to quote my job. The first never showed up, the second showed up three-sheets into the wind and then there was Patrica with AAA Union Tree Service. Within thirty minutes of placing my request on Angi, she sent me a text asking if she could come quote the job. Before the day was out, I had a written quote in my hand. Patricia was in the middle of a big apartment job but kept me abreast by text when they should be able to start. Her crew did a wonderful job and her associate Brenda was also very helpful in advising on how to update the exterior of the home and even brought out a beautiful shrub to show me. I can't say enough how please I am with the results of their work. I also received additional quotes before they left as I plan on making AAA Union Tree Service my go-to for all my landscaping needs! They were wonderful!"

"Nick Oliver did a tremendous job, and is humble and hardworking. The quality or work was superb and consisted of tree and shrub trimming and tree branch removal and pruning. He also threw in some extra work pulling a rooted vine for free. He was meticulous and valued your input as a customer. Very highly recommend, price was right. You will be very satisfied with the results and experience!"

"Whack em and Stack em was very quick in calling us back when we called inquiring about their services. They were competitive with their pricing: and better priced than most tree services. The estimator, Bert, came out twice for an estimate and was always on time, very punctual. The crew that removed the tree was punctual as well. They quickly, efficiently, and safely removed the Water Oak tree in our backyard that was in a tight spot...close to our house, backyard fence, other trees, bird feeders and plants. They dropped the tree on a dime. We will use Whack em and Stack em again for any tree service needs in the future."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

After tree service in Charleston, ongoing maintenance includes pruning every 3 to 5 years, annual fertilization in spring, and periodic mulching. Inspect trees for pests or disease, especially after storms, and consider crown thinning to reduce wind resistance before hurricane season. For coastal properties, protect trees from salt spray and manage Spanish moss. The City of Charleston Urban Forestry Division recommends regular inspections for optimal tree health.

Helpful?

In Charleston, homeowners may encounter extra charges for debris removal, stump grinding, or coordinating with utility companies if tree trimming or removal is near power lines. Limited access could require specialized equipment, and properties in historic districts may incur additional compliance fees. Emergency tree service after storms often results in higher surcharges, so it's important to clarify all potential costs with your provider before work begins.

Helpful?

In Charleston, tree trimming typically takes 2 to 6 hours per tree, while tree removal for smaller trees can be completed in 4 to 8 hours. Large or complex tree removals may require up to two days. Permit processing, overseen by the City of Charleston Urban Forestry Division, usually takes 5 to 10 business days, and scheduling may be delayed during peak hurricane or spring seasons.

Helpful?

In Charleston, common mistakes include topping trees, over-pruning, or trimming during the wrong season, which can increase pest risks and weaken tree structure. Using unlicensed workers or improper equipment often leads to safety hazards and code violations. The City of Charleston Urban Forestry Division advises hiring certified professionals familiar with local species and regulations to ensure safe, effective tree removal or trimming and to protect your property's long-term value.

Helpful?

In Charleston, tree removal permits are required for most trees over 8 inches in diameter, and heritage trees above 30 inches need special approval, as outlined by the City of Charleston Urban Forestry Division. Properties in historic districts may need additional review from the Board of Architectural Review. Dead or hazardous trees may be exempt, but written documentation is required. Always consult local authorities before starting any tree service.
