"Trees fell on my wooden fence. While talking to the owner Brenda, I asked if they could fix the fence also, which they did. As we talked, I realized they could do pretty much everything. We are getting ready to list our home and needed many things done (big and small). They saved me so much money because I would have had to hire different individuals to clean the chimney, fix fence, paint, etc. Everything they did was to perfection. Brenda cleaned my 28 year old deck and if you had a fork...you could have eaten off of it. It looked bran new. They patched a hole in my garage, built small steps out back door, power washed the house, cleaned out and fix gutters, filled in some cracks in porch and even tightened my shutters, and put new hinges on fence door. Not to mention the 3 huge trees they cut down and made woodchips of for us. Very reasonable and honest. She is there with the guys and they worked non stop. I cannot say enough about this company. This company was by far the best fix it company I have EVER hired."

"After being evacuated from Hurricane Matthew I returned home to see our neighborhood in chaos from many downed trees, and several badly damaged homes. Every tree company in the area was already backed up with work. My sister manages properties in the area and was desperately trying to find a tree company to help us out. While on the phone with a man in Columbia, SC, he mentioned Just Trees, LLC.  He told her they had a great reputation in that area so she sent a message begging for help. The response from Penny Lindsay who partners with Frank Flemming was immediate. They packed up their equipment and arrived the next day. Penny was like a "triage doctor" prioritizing the most serious situations and Frank got to work climbing trees making stressed out homeowners feel confident that they would soon be safe.

To say they were a blessing is more than a comment. To me they arrived on angels wings. Frank and Penny showed compassion and concern for our problems, while reassuring us they could handle it all  And handle it they did. Along with Billy, Joey and Tyler they worked their way through our neighborhood with professionalism and smiles. Because of their caring attitudes, they have been "adopted" by us.   It's day 13 and they have a place to stay in here and people bringing them food! I think that should speak for itself as a recommendation.

Lastly, you are probably wondering "so what did this amazing service" cost? We have all agreed that their rates were better than expected and highly competitive.  Happily for us they will be staying on for another week. Our HOA has hired them to remove trees that were compromised by the hurricane.

Personally, I will miss them when they are gone. I can't thank them enough for all they have done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

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.
