"Their crew did a great job! I needed two trees cut down. They showed up early and took great care not to hit all the obstructions in the way. They spoke good English and were very friendly. They were very affordable compared to the other estimates I received. They did a good job cleaning up afterwards. Excellent crew and great work. Thanks!"

"They trimmed our 30+ ft crepe myrtles, seeded, aerated, put down lime and fertilizer, then 18 cu yards of topsoil over our southern clay soil. They are also scheduled for may to come a put out weed and feed to get our lawn in golf course lush look. Mr Reyes and his workers were exemplary. They were punctual, and worked the entire 2 days to get the job done. And there pricing was better than the other 4 companies we had estimates from. They are licensed and insured. Not all companies are. Just the best people to work with. They will definitely get our business from now on. The topsoil was bought from markham landscape materials on Lakeview and wt harris. It was delivered to our home before yard prep was done. 1st day was just pruning our 5 huge crepe myrtles. Again Mr Reyes believes in perfection and we are thoroughly satisfied with workmanship, punctuality, and price. Thank you."

Customers say: Quick response

"I contacted three different tree services to quote my job. The first never showed up, the second showed up three-sheets into the wind and then there was Patrica with AAA Union Tree Service. Within thirty minutes of placing my request on Angi, she sent me a text asking if she could come quote the job. Before the day was out, I had a written quote in my hand. Patricia was in the middle of a big apartment job but kept me abreast by text when they should be able to start. Her crew did a wonderful job and her associate Brenda was also very helpful in advising on how to update the exterior of the home and even brought out a beautiful shrub to show me. I can't say enough how please I am with the results of their work. I also received additional quotes before they left as I plan on making AAA Union Tree Service my go-to for all my landscaping needs! They were wonderful!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Homeowners in Rock Hill should anticipate permit fees from the City of Rock Hill, potential utility line management if trees are near power lines, and possible restoration of landscaping after large tree removal. Additional expenses may include crane rental for difficult access, debris hauling, and stump grinding, which is often a separate service. Emergency or after-hours tree service may incur extra charges, especially during local storm responses.

Helpful?

In Rock Hill, most tree service projects—such as tree trimming or pruning—are completed within 2 to 6 hours, while removing a medium-sized tree typically takes 4 to 8 hours. Large or hazardous tree removals may require up to two days, especially if city inspections or utility clearances are involved. Stump grinding is often finished in 1 to 3 hours per stump. Emergency tree service in Rock Hill is prioritized during severe weather events.

Helpful?

In Rock Hill, a tree removal permit is required for any tree with a trunk diameter of 8 inches or more, or if the tree is designated as a heritage or protected species. If work is within the public right-of-way, you'll need a right-of-way permit from the City of Rock Hill Public Works Department. For removals near power lines, coordination with the local utility company and a utility clearance permit are necessary. Always consult the City of Rock Hill Planning & Development Department for up-to-date requirements.

Helpful?

In Rock Hill, tree service professionals should follow ANSI Z133 and OSHA safety standards, including wearing helmets, eye protection, and high-visibility clothing. Always maintain at least a 10-foot distance from overhead power lines and contact the local utility company for line clearance. Before stump grinding, call 811 to have underground utilities marked. The City of Rock Hill recommends using certified arborists to ensure safe and compliant tree removal.

Helpful?

In Rock Hill, frequent mistakes include removing trees without the required city permit, underestimating the risk of DIY tree removal near structures, and hiring unlicensed contractors. Over-pruning or topping trees can harm long-term health, while ignoring root protection zones during construction can lead to decline. The City of Rock Hill Planning & Development Department advises choosing tree species suited to local soil and climate for best results.
