"I can?t say enough wonderful things about Brandon from Jones Tree Company! From the moment he arrived, he was kind, professional, respectful, and genuinely cared about doing a great job. He was very reasonable with his pricing, arrived right on time, and took the time to carefully cut the branches in a way that would help protect my home from damage. Brandon and his helper worked so hard, and when they were finished, they cleaned up the area beautifully. You honestly wouldn?t have known they had even been there! It?s not every day that you come across someone who takes such pride in their work and treats people with such kindness. I?m truly grateful for the wonderful experience and the care they put into the job. I highly recommend Jones Tree Company to anyone in Benburg County. If you need tree work done, give them a call ? you will not be disappointed! ??"

"What can I say about Newman's tree service? Give your head a rest calling around for the best price for your tree service needs. I am absolutely satisfied and happy of the work they did taking down my 2 trees. Other than the shaving and dirt you would never know a tree used to be there. I was so pleased to see that with the stump grinder they went around the outside of where the tree was and got all the roots above the ground and in the ground so nothing can grow back. The two guys cleaned everything up, no sticks or roots remained on the grond. I got a kick out of watching one of them picking up the smallest of twigs after all of their work. That's my work ethic too and thats why seeing him doing it brought a smile to my face. Both men were very respectful, polite, professional and knowledgeable in answering apll of our questions. They had to be hungry because they never stopped working so I gave them a tip so they could grab something to eat after all their hard work. I would 100%"

"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."

My names Cayden Shadoan, I’m 23 years old. I have a beautiful wife and daughter. I have a full time job as a pipe welder in Sumter South Carolina. I’m on here just looking to pick up a couple extra jobs here and there in hopes of starting my own business one day to be able to stay home with my family more. I can do pretty much anything that needs done in or around your house. Specializing in building fences or repairing fences, any kind of piping jobs, or any welding. Thank you for considering me to help you get what you need done. Hope to see you soon.

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.
