"I don’t typically give all 5 stars reviews, but Charleston Stump Stompers and Tree Service is truly worthy of it. We needed three trees removed (including one 40 foot pine tree) and stump grinded, a bush stump grinded and our front trees pruned. This order was made during the frequent storms we had late in 2018. Your ground needs to be pretty dry in order to prevent damage from the equipment needed to roll into your yard. Communication is very critical to me in regards to a company’s performance (almost as important as quality of service). This company’s communication is excellent as they went above and beyond to keep me informed about possible dates (due to weather), proposing to shift schedules to work with me and always make me feel like Priority #1. Their quality of work was outstanding and my yard looked even better than when they started. The staff is very friendly, local and down to Earth. Highly recommended! I have no problem recommending this company to neighbors asking about my tree work."

"I had the pleasure of working with Evan from Hard Work Tree Service for a magnolia tree that had rotted at the base. From the very first phone call from him, I knew he was the one for the job. He was very well mannered and so nice. He came out to my property promptly and I met him at the door. Right away he made friends with my puppy and pet bird. I felt very comfortable. We went around back to where the sick tree was. He gave me a very fair quote and scheduled me for an appointment a few days later. The day of the tree removal he was right on time. He arrived with all the tools needed to do the job. The tree was cut down with professionalism and courtesy. I am so happy that I made the choice to hire Hard Work tree service. Their name says it all. I highly recommend them if you have a tree that needs trimmed or removed. I don't have a before picture but I will add the after picture. I chose to get it cut down to the stump rather than opting for stump grinding. Thanks again, Evan!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Excellent service and pricing. Arrived on time, took down a very large tree and cleaned up in 90 minutes. They left our yard completely free any debris including leaves from another trees. This is our second time using them and we have been totally satisfied both time. Will definitely hire again for any other tree service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.
