Charleston Stump Stompers and Tree service employs seven professional tree service providers and has an ISA Certified Arborist on location at each job. We are licensed to do business in Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, City of Charleston, North Charleston, Goose Creek, Summerville, Ladson, Hanahan, Kiawah and Seabrook Islands among other areas. We provide tree assessment and ISA Certified letters when required for permitting.

"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."

"Very quick to respond to the request for an estimate. Very informative with the process and the price was reasonable they offered to send certificates of insurance. There was no pushy sales for unwanted work but they did point out other areas where work is needed for the future for us to keep an eye on. Working with a local company made it very personable. The crew did a great job with making contact with me before, during and after the job was complete . The clean up was great and the yard, roof and other areas looked better than before they arrived. ( hardly a wood chip was left)"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can build a pergola yourself or with a helper after you obtain any necessary building permits. A pergola can be as simple or complex as you like. Building a pergola is an excellent way to showcase your DIY skills and learn new ones along the way.

It’s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.

Yes, many kinds of building permits exist for various projects in and outside your home. Each city sets the permit categories, but they typically cover new construction, alterations, and demolition. For example, you will need a different permit to finish a basement than you would tear down the patio.

The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.

Clean regularly, treat wood for weather resistance, and inspect for damage to ensure longevity.
