"I had a stump I needed removed. It was very close to my driveway and sidewalk. John responded to my call very quickly. He came out and gave me a very reasonable quote. His team responded on time and did a great job, including cleaning up everything. Great job! You would never know there was a stump there. I highly recommend!"

"I have been a homeowner in Northeast Columbia, SC for more than 30 years. With many pine trees on our property I've had to deal with a number of tree removal companies over the years. I have found Rokey Branch Utilities (RBU) far beyond any of the many companies I have encountered and used for extensive tree work. They were immediately responsive to my initial contact - showed up on time - gave a good estimate - cut the tree down being sensitive not to damage my lawn - cleaned up even the smallest debris and carried it off. The team was gone within an hour of arrival with no evidence they had been in the yard. Rich Tinneny"

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality landscaping services"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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%.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.
