What this site is
Charleston SC Tree Service is a referral service, not a tree care company. The guides on these pages are written to help homeowners understand a job before they call. The crews we connect you with are independent companies. See how the referral works.
Where the information comes from
Claims about trees, safety, permits and storms point to the source they came from, and the source is linked in the text. The sources are the kind a homeowner can check: university extension programs such as Clemson Home & Garden Information Center, the International Society of Arboriculture, federal agencies such as FEMA, OSHA and NOAA, the South Carolina Attorney General, the local power companies, and the City of Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston and Charleston County.
How prices are handled
Prices on this site are averages published by third parties, such as LawnStarter, Homeyou and Today's Homeowner, and each one is labeled with its source. Where sources disagree, we show more than one. They are not quotes from us or from any crew. Tree work is priced on site, so your real number comes from a written quote.
Permit rules and legal topics
Tree permit rules for the City of Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston and unincorporated Charleston County are taken from each office's official page, and the page is linked next to each rule. The tree removal page shows when the rules were last checked. Rules change, so confirm with the local office before cutting a protected tree. Nothing here is legal, insurance or engineering advice.
Dates
Each service page shows the date it was last updated, and price sections say when prices were checked.
What these pages cannot do
A web page cannot tell you whether your tree is safe. For a large or valuable tree, ask for an assessment by an ISA Certified Arborist, and you can verify a credential in the ISA arborist directory.
Disclosure
Charleston SC Tree Service is a referral service. We are not a tree care company. Calls and requests are connected to independent, locally owned tree service companies that carry their own license (where required) and insurance. Calls may be recorded for quality and to confirm the request.
