"Wish I could give more than 5 stars. The men showed up on time and for 2 days worked so hard removing trees trimming some trees getting rid of stumps and roots and when they left I have a beautiful yard. I highly recommend Mike's tree service."

"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."

"Douglas Rivers was extremely responsive and did a brilliant job felling an extremely large pine tree. Cleanup was thorough and efficient. He is now licensed to perform services on Seabrook Island. I unhesitatingly recommend him and his company for tree removal."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

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.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

The cost of trees varies massively based on the size of the tree and the species. A small Colorado spruce can cost as little as $30, but a golden rain tree of the same size can cost $90. Large trees can cost $1,500 or more, depending on their species and height.
