"Mike's Tree Service is awesome! The cost was fair and the work they did was great! They trimmed back large trees hanging over my fence to let the sun back into my yard. Trimmed up my overgrown Maple Tree and Live Oak and removed a dead tree. I would definitely hire them again."

Customers say: Quick response

"Their foreman Steven showed up on time and gave me a very decent quote for what I needed (tree trimming, fallen limb removal, and dead tree removal). I went ahead and hired them. Steven and his team showed up on time for the service date, but a storm rolled in while they were working. They left due to lightning, but the front desk , Ellen, called me to let me know they would return to finish later that week. They returned on time too, and finished the job. They even left me 2 bags of potting soil to cover tracks in the shared yard I have with my neighbor after my neighbor requested it. Steven and Ellen were always very professional and courteous, and Ellen was prompt with communication. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"What a wonderful company. the owner, Roxanne kept us informed every step of the way. a crane was needed and she worked hard to get us the best price. Crew was very professional and friendly. Did a great job cleaning up after tree was down. Even helped rescue newborn baby racoons that were in a hollow of the tree. Momma raccoon was happy to get her babies back. Anthony is a very knowledgeable arborist and we were amazed at his climbing abilities and he knew exactly what limbs to cut. We were concerned since it was a large tree over our house. We worried that a limb would fall and severely damage roof. Anthony's skill ensured not one branch or limb, even a dead one didnt fall on roof. We are very pleased we chose Carolina Tree Service and will highly recommend."

"Daniel showed up on time for an estimate on initial yard cleanup and maintenance and I was pleased with the quote and he started the same day. We live on an acre lot and our yard looked great when he finished, we have a lot of limbs that fall and he cleaned everything up and all left over leaves from the fall. He even quoted us a very reasonable price to cut up and remove a tree that fell in our back yard and we hired him for bi-weekly maintenance. I highly recommend this business to tree work or lawn care."

"He did an absolutely fantastic job! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He was extremely professional, hardworking, punctual, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of properly. He was incredibly thorough and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and actually cares about doing the job right, rather than just getting it done. He was also very friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with. The quality of his work was outstanding, and I was genuinely impressed by how efficient and attentive he was. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. Absolutely 10/10 experience! I will definitely be calling him again for any future work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
