Storm & Tree Cleanup in Upstate South Carolina

It is priced by what is on the ground and how far it has to travel, so a single downed tree with easy access is a few hundred dollars while a wooded lot full of blowdown runs into the thousands. The three things that move the number are volume of debris, how close equipment can get to it, and whether the ground underneath needs repair. All three get scoped on the walk and written down.

Yes, and on a tipped tree it usually matters more than the trunk. When a tree goes over, the root plate lifts a crater of soil with it. We take the root ball out, fill and compact the hole in lifts so it does not settle into a low spot, and grade the surface back level with what is around it.

Often, partly. Most homeowner policies cover debris removal when the tree hit something covered, and most cap coverage low, or skip it, for a tree that fell on nothing. We are not the ones to read your policy, but we do give you an itemized written quote, which is the document adjusters ask for.

Access-clearing first, usually within a day or two of the call. Getting a driveway open or a tree off a fence line is a different job from a full cleanup, and we will do the urgent part first and schedule the rest. Being owner-run means the person who quotes it is the person who shows up.

Damaged trees on open ground, yes. A large tree leaning over a house needs a climbing crew with a crane, and that is an arborist's job rather than ours — we will tell you that plainly rather than take on work that needs a different rig. Once it is down, the cleanup and the ground repair are ours.

Hauled off, mulched into the property, or burned legally with the SC Forestry Commission notified. Your choice, priced during the walk. What we never do is bury it. Buried debris decays and settles for years, and it shows up later as a sunken driveway or a cracked slab long after the contractor is gone.
