"Get everything in writing up front before hiring this company. I was told 750 to cut down tree and I gave him permission to leave cut tree on property behind my home. A few days later I was told by HOA that trees must be removed I called him he said he will come back and remove trees and willl not charge me as much as he charged to cut it down. He takes almost 4 weeks to come back giving me every excuse in the book. He finally comes and does the work then he tells me I have to charge you 850 because I bought more people to help. I told him I did not budget for 850 I budgeted for 500 he goes on and on about he needs 850 I told him ok next week I will take care of you, during that time I lost my business bank card that I use I explain that to him and that I am waiting for my new card to come in the mail. He did not care and threaten to take me to court. So I sent him a money order in the mail that he had to sign for. Now I'm a military veteran and I am retired and on a fixed income."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In Columbia, unexpected costs during tree service projects may include fees for working near utility lines, permit or inspection charges required by the city, and expenses for debris hauling or stump grinding. If tree roots have impacted sidewalks or driveways, additional repairs may be necessary. Always confirm with your tree care professional that all potential scenarios are addressed in your written estimate and clarify who is responsible for obtaining permits.

Helpful?

In Columbia, tree removal permits are generally required for trees exceeding 6 inches in diameter, and heritage trees over 24 inches or certain protected species may have additional restrictions. For the most accurate requirements, consult the Columbia Planning & Development Services Department and review the Columbia Municipal Code. Homeowners should also check with their neighborhood's HOA, as many have their own tree care and removal guidelines.

Helpful?

In Columbia, be cautious of tree service contractors who provide vague or verbal-only estimates, lack proof of liability insurance, or pressure you for immediate decisions. Refusal to reference the Columbia Planning & Development Services Department or failure to explain permit requirements are warning signs. Always request local references, verify credentials, and ensure the full scope of tree care work is detailed in your written agreement.

Helpful?

Columbia's humid subtropical climate, with hot summers, occasional drought, and the risk of hurricanes or ice storms, directly affects tree care and tree trimming schedules. Local arborists often prioritize emergency tree removal after storms and plan routine maintenance around seasonal weather trends. The South Carolina Forestry Commission provides guidance on managing storm-damaged trees and recommends proactive care to reduce weather-related risks.

Helpful?

In Columbia, most tree service—such as tree pruning and tree removal—is best performed during the dormant winter months, typically December through February. This timing helps minimize disease transmission and stress to trees, especially for oaks. The Columbia Urban Forestry Division also advises avoiding major work during spring nesting season and peak summer heat, both to protect wildlife and ensure optimal tree health.
