Eco-Responsible Tree Removal in Charleston, SC

We have removed thousands of trees over the years. However, we never recommend tree removal if it's not warranted. Some South Carolina tree service companies tend to remove trees when they should be saved or simply pruned. Others go the opposite direction and never recommend tree removal.

Unlike other companies, our arborists make educated recommendations based on experience, your trees, and your needs. We make the right call for you - not for us. If disease, destruction of foundation, or other circumstances necessitate tree removal, rest assured we're recommending it for a reason.

What Clients Say About Us

Benefits of Tree Removal

Though we never recommend this service unless it's needed, tree removal is often the only way to protect your property and family. When done properly, removing trees from your yard can have numerous benefits.

Tree Pruning Daniel Island, SC

Prevent Damage to Your Foundation

When the roots of a tree spread and grow, they often damage concrete structures, like your home's foundation or driveway. This unsightly, unsafe situation is preventable with careful tree removal.

More Yard Space

If you've got to remove trees, you might as well make use of the space. Removing trees from your yard frees up space for fun, useful additions to your home firepits and pools. Some examples that we've seen from clients include removing more free space to plant vegetables and flowers and even room to build a new basketball court.

Enhanced Views

Another benefit of tree removal is that you can create a better view for your home, both inside and out. If you have unhealthy trees blocking the view of your property, removing the tree could be a solution. On the other side of the coin, you might want the exterior view of your home to remain intact and unobstructed by trees.

Storm Cleanup Daniel Island, SC

Tree Trimming in Daniel Island, SC

Have you noticed your favorite tree growing strangely? Are your trees so overgrown that it's making your home look like vagrants live there? Are the trees around your property weighed down by dead, dangerous branches? If you answered yes to any of those scenarios, Palmetto Tree Service has a solution to your problem.

Most folks don't know that trees respond to their environment. When trees aren't cared for, they can cause unwanted problems for the homeowner. Issues like overgrowth aren't just ugly - it's a potential safety hazard for your home and family. To prevent these problems from plaguing your property, it's important to keep your trees pruned and trimmed.

Our pruning and trimming have been described as "artistry" by our customers and are performed by highly skilled tree climbers per the Society of Arboriculture standards. Trimming procedures such as view enhancement and crown raising boosts curb appeal and open up obscured views. Proper pruning can also help establish your tree's structural integrity, which helps keep them planted firmly even in South Carolina wind gusts.

Because every shrub and tree is different, we approach our tree trimming projects with a detailed plan of action. That plan starts with our team of professional tree trimmers visiting your home. Once we see what kind of trees we'll be pruning or trimming, we'll put together an actionable plan which we'll share with you. As tree care specialists, we always account for unique variables like your tree's species and where they're located in your yard.

Benefits of Tree Trimming

For some folks, tree trimming seems like a minor detail in the grand scheme of homeownership. It can be tedious, but keeping your trees trimmed and well-maintained is more important than you might think. Below are just a few of the many benefits of keeping your trees and shrubs trimmed:

Types of Tree Trimming

Not all tree trimming services from Palmetto Tree are the same. Our experts specialize in many trimming services, so you get the right kind of trim for your needs. Our team understands that even the slightest mistake can permanently affect your yard and trees. That's why we approach every project with precision and expertise.

Crown Reduction

Crown Reduction

When your trees age without proper care, they can develop too many branches on their interior. Trees like this give great shade, but too much is not a good sign. That's where crown reduction trimming comes in. By reducing the density of your tree's crown, our tree care experts improve its growth rate and health. Crown density reduction also promotes a longer lifespan and a more beautiful appearance.

Storm Prep and Cleanup

Trimming and pruning procedures like removing dead wood and thinning crowns should be done before a major storm hits. Reducing branches and leaves lessens the force that wind gusts have and helps minimize the chances of trees falling. If a storm does damage your land, Palmetto Tree Service has the team and tools to help. Having recently worked Hurricanes Charlie, Ivan, Wilma, Katrina, Ike, Irene, Florence, Dorian, and even Sandy, Palmetto Tree Service has vast experience with twisted and fallen trees. We protect your property from further damage and safely remove lumber from damaged structures.

Other tree trimming services that Palmetto Tree Service offers include:

  • Hazardous Tree Assessments
  • Shrub Trimming
  • Pruning
  • Cabling
  • Bracing
  • Corrective Trimming

Stump Grinding in Daniel Island, SC

For most property owners, removing a tree can seem like a major project. While that notion certainly isn't wrong, tree removal is more straightforward and often easier than trying to remove an unsightly stump from your yard. Have you ever wondered why you see so many yards with stumps dotted around the land? It's because they're tough to remove. That is why Palmetto Tree Service offers stump removal services in South Carolina.

Our skilled stump grinders bring a depth of knowledge and modern tools to every project we approach. Available for any tree removal project, our fast, efficient grinding machines ensure stumps are 6-8 inches below grade. That way, you can plant your favorite bushes and shrubs where your stump used to be.

Our stump grinding and removal efforts don't just make your yard look great. They also save you time, money, and can prevent injuries. There's a time and place for DIY yard work, but stump removal isn't one of them. Going the "DIY" route can take weeks, even if you work an hour or two every day. There's also the issue of operating heavy machinery on your own, which is dangerous and costly. For these reasons alone, it's best to trust professional stump grinders to remove your tree stumps safely.

Benefits of Stump Removal in Daniel Island, SC

Tree stumps are notorious for harboring harmful pests that can ruin your property. We're talking ants, termites, carpenter bees, and other wood borers. If you've noticed an uptick in pests around your home, call Palmetto Tree Service for a quote on our stump removal. You could be killing two birds with one stone.

When you leave a tree stump in your yard, there's a good chance you could experience unwanted tree growth. These new growths cause clusters of small trees to grow at the base of your stump. This isn't only unsightly - it can kill nearby plants because the more recent growths hoard water and nutrients to themselves.

If you're a homeowner who loves beautiful landscaping, well-sculpted hedges, and a neat law, you will love our stump removal services. Not just for the weight off your chest but for your home's enhanced curb appeal and resale value. This point is extra pertinent if you're going to sell your home soon.

If your yard is small, even one stump can affect your usable space. If you spend a lot of time playing sports or just enjoying your yard space, stump removal is a huge help. After all, nobody wants to toss a football if there are old stumps you've got to avoid. With their complicated root systems, stumps also take up considerable space below ground. Stump removal gives your family the space needed to grow vegies, plant flowers, erect water features, and more.

Is stump removal impossible for non-professionals? Sure, in theory. You could take spend hours researching the best ways to remove stumps. You could go to your hardware store, rent a powerful stump grinder, and risk your safety trying to run it without training. You could spend every minute of your free time grinding the stump down. Or, you could work with a trustworthy stump removal company with trained professionals, as you'll find at Palmetto Tree Service.

SC Chamber advocacy efforts

The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce released its annual Results for Business report that recaps its advocacy efforts during the 2025 state legislative session.

According to the chamber’s report, its advocacy efforts resulted in over an $807 million impact for South Carolina’s business community, or about $4,275 per employer in the state.

“The chamber has set forth an aggressive agenda to help our businesses and stimulate South Carolina’s economy, and we made tremendous progress in the first year of this legislative session,” said chamber president and CEO Mike Brenan. “With the help of the forward-thinking leadership in the General Assembly, we were able to deliver relief from a broken civil justice system that cost our businesses and families millions of dollars each year, significant tax cuts, confidence in the future of the state’s energy grid, and technical college scholarships for the most critical jobs.”

Brenan, in the chamber’s press release, added, “These policies will undoubtedly make South Carolina an even better state for business. We appreciate the opportunity to represent the interests of South Carolina’s job creators and will work collaboratively with the General Assembly to deliver even more pro-business wins in 2026.”

DANIEL ISLAND, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Congresswoman Nancy Mace made an announcement responding to a rape victim’s class action lawsuit Thursday on Daniel Island.

Rep. Mace represents the Charleston area, which is South Carolina’s only swing district. Mace introduced legislation banning transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol. She has been outspoken about rape kit evidence legislation and calling for an investigation into Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center.

In February, Mace gave a speech on the House floor accusing four men of conspiring to commit rape and take nonconsensual exploitative photos and video for women and underage girls.

On Thursday, May 29, Rep. Mace said a rape survivor filed a class action lawsuit against three men she mentioned in her speech in February.

Congressman Mace said the victim was incapacitated and sexually assaulted which was was filmed. Rep. Mace said she discovered the footage in November 2023 and turned it over to law enforcement.

“This isn’t just about one woman, this is about predators who have operated with impunity for far too long,” said Mace. “The lawsuit filed today is only the start, only the first step toward justice for her and others. It’s proof predators can be exposed. That truth matters. That survivors have power. And that justice isn’t optional, it’s long overdue.”

The lawsuit was filed after more than a year of inaction from state authorities and seeks to hold the perpetrators accountable for the premeditated, deeply traumatizing assault.

“When the system fails to protect victims, it’s not just broken, it’s complicit,” said Mace. “Every woman harmed by predators deserves justice. If our Solicitor and Attorney General won’t fight for them, I will.”

Rep. Mace has filed more than 10 bills in the aftermath of her discovery.

In January, Rep. Mace said she was considering a run for South Carolina governor, but she has not made an official announcement.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Novant Health broke ground for a new freestanding emergency department on Clements Ferry Road, bringing fast, high-quality emergency care closer to home for residents of Daniel Island and the greater Charleston, South Carolina region.

The new facility, located just minutes from I-526, is designed to enhance access to emergency medical services in one of the area’s fastest-growing communities. Clements Ferry Emergency Department will serve as a critical access point for emergency care and seamless connection to Novant Health’s broader network of hospitals and specialists in the Carolinas.

The new emergency department will span more than 10,000 square feet and include 10 private exam rooms, one trauma bay, advanced radiology (CT, ultrasound, and X-ray) and an on-site laboratory. The facility will operate 24/7 and be staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians and skilled clinical teams, offering the same trusted care patients receive at Novant Health East Cooper Medical Center.

“Expanding access to care is a top priority for Novant Health, and this new emergency department is a key step forward,” said Kirsten Royster, president of Novant Health in Charleston. “We’re building facilities that meet our patients where they are, making sure families across the tri-county can get the emergency care they need, closer to home and without delay.”

Designed for efficiency, accessibility and patient comfort, the Clements Ferry Emergency Department will feature dedicated parking and easy walk-in access, making it faster and easier for patients to receive timely care during critical moments.

“You can look around this part of Charleston and see how quickly our community is growing, and that means greater need for emergency care,” said Sarah Tuley, president of East Cooper Medical Center. “This new emergency department will reduce travel time, ease overcrowding and help ensure that lifesaving care is available right here, when and where people need it most.”

The facility builds on Novant Health’s commitment to building healthier communities and expanding services across the Charleston area, complementing recent investments in women’s health, primary care and specialty care offerings throughout the region.

Construction is expected to be completed in late summer of 2026.

DI Publix construction is ‘moving along’

Construction on the Daniel Island Publix, the island’s only supermarket, is progressing with no reported delays or issues, according to Publix media relations manager Jared Glover.

“Things are moving along as planned, and we look forward to welcoming back our customers, and new customers, soon.” Glover said.

With the reopening of the grocery store slated for later this year, The Daniel Island News asked Publix officials if crews have experienced any unanticipated technical or foundational challenges during construction.

“While we understand the excitement for the store reopening, it is not our practice to give continuous updates throughout the process,” Glover said. “Security, safety among other reasons. While things are moving as planned, there are a number of variables that can impact construction timelines for our locations, including contractors, supplies, and weather-related issues.

“That being said, it would be inappropriate to share specific timelines.”

The new structure, located at 162 Seven Farms Drive, has been taking shape over the past few months since its closing on Dec. 24 of last year for demolition.

Once completed, the store will be nearly double in size, from 29,030 to 50,398 square feet. The store will offer an expanded selection of groceries and services, a pocket park, a pavilion, outdoor seating, and native landscaping at the entrance.

No e-bikes allowed on Daniel Island trails

The Daniel Island Property Owners Association recently installed signs at several trailheads around the island reminding people to keep e-bikes off the trails.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and enjoyable trail system for all users, the DIPOA recently installed additional signage reinforcing the existing policy that e-bikes are not permitted on our trail system,” said the POA’s director of operations Tony Elder.

The 12 new signs were placed at key trail entryways to enhance awareness and encourage voluntary compliance, Elder said.

“Our goal is to work collaboratively with the community to preserve the integrity of our magnificent trail network and ensure its continued enjoyment for everyone.”

Greek cuisine coming to Point Hope

Greek restaurant Philosophia is set to open in The Gates at Point Hope, next to the Roper St. Francis primary care clinic.

Owned by Justin Hunt and Dimitri Hatgidimitriou, the restaurant is looking to open its doors in the first quarter of 2026, according to Meyer App Associates.

Operated by TYSM Hospitality Group, Philosophia will offer Mediterranean dishes like spanakopita, Greek salads, local fish dishes, roasted chicken, and braised lamb shank.

The restaurant has two other locations in Mount Pleasant.

Unified BE kickball game promotes inclusion

On May 2, Bishop England High School hosted an Options Unified PE game of kickball against James Island Charter High School.

Unified sports bring together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities, to foster inclusion and acceptance through collaborative sports.

Friends, family, and community members gathered on the BE track field to support the players.

“It was a fun game playing against the Trojans,” said BE player Michael Teeple. “Even though we were playing against each other, we were supporting each other too.”

Lauren Murphy, a first-year Options teacher, added, “The unified kickball game was a great experience for everyone involved. This game provided our students with an opportunity to showcase their athletic skills, be encouraged by peers, and demonstrate sportsmanship among the two teams. This game is a great example of how sports can foster inclusion and acceptance across the community!”

Bishop England’s Options Department Chair Kristen Common noted that, while the teams didn’t keep score, “Everyone was a winner this time.”
