Had two big trees removed in our front yard. They did such a great job I asked for them to come back to trim three more in the back the following week. The crew showed up on time and exhibited all qualities of a well run local operation. We have our own small business based in Shandon, and appreciate others who treat each job like they would on their own property. You have earned a new regular customer.

Linwood made a point of making sure we knew exactly what we were paying for line by line, to get our tree cut down. He explained which equipment would be used, how many workers would be on the job, and a rough estimate of the hours it would take (which ended up being just 2 hours off). This team is made up of seasoned professionals, not just a couple of guys in a truck looking to make an extra dollar. Hands down my new go-to tree service in Rosewood. I’ve given their info to a few of our neighbors as well.

We requested emergency service last month after Hurricane Ida. We rent out the second floor of our Heathwood home to another family. A few branches of our 50’ oak nearly scared them half to death after falling a few feet from their bedroom window. The tree was not leaning over the house or already falling over, so we understood that others in the area would have priority. Still though, Elite Tree Removal of Columbia removed the tree within the timeframe set and got out to us in just two days.

Linwood went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our tree removal process this past summer. We needed 6 trees felled and hauled off to make a large clearing for our daughter’s wedding ceremony in our backyard in Melrose Heights. We also wanted to trim back the other 5 trees left standing around the perimeter. Of 3 licensed and trained companies, they gave us the best price and timeline. The crew of 5 did an outstanding job and finished a day earlier than anticipated. This gave us extra time to prepare for the wedding so we were thrilled.

I had various trees across our property taken down by Elite Tree Removal of Columbia over the past year. They were the only company who kept our original appointment and gave us a good price to seal the deal. We agreed on pricing for all of the trees up front and just spaced out each removal to make it more budget friendly. They did offer a better rate to get it all done at once but it worked out better for us to do it one at a time. Excellent communication and service. Will definitely call them to come back to Waverly in the spring to prune the ones we have left (and hopefully some of our neighbors as well!).

Elite Tree Removal of Columbia removed two trees for me in tricky areas - one intertwined with electric wires and another adjacent to the neighbor's fence. The trees were in my garden so that no machinery could be used in that area - they had to climb the trees and take them down bit by bit. They worked efficiently, were careful about my garden, and did a great job! The owner, Linwood, responded to my request for a quote within a day, came out the next day to give an estimate, and were able to do the work a few days later. Their price was also the best of the quotes I had received. Very pleased!! Great Service! "

Elite Tree Removal of Columbia did a great job on my tree. A part of it fell during recent storms. Another company cleaned up but would not go up that high and refused to do the work. I called them, and they had no problem with the job. They came on time and went to work; it was poetry in motion watching how they worked. I would call them again without hesitation and refer their services to anyone. They are reasonably priced as well. Great job, Elite Tree Removal of Columbia.

I cannot thank these young men enough. I live by myself now and arbor and garden maintenance has been hard for me, as I’ve gotten older. They came over and took a few trees down the same day I called. Real professionals.

My wife and I noticed a few trees on our property that were rotting. Marcus and his team showed up on time and diagnosed the trees in question. They were able to save two and remove the other three safely. Thank you!

FAQs

What is tree pruning?

Along with tree removal, we offer tree pruning and tree cutting services. Maintenance of a tree can save you money in the long run from falling branches, unhealthy trees needing to be removed, and early dying trees. Pruning and cutting are the key here. Proper maintenance will preserve a trees life span and leave you looking at a beautiful property each and every day, rather than once every few years if you do not already have regular maintenance. This all comes at affordable pricing, when you hire our company. We have studied and tended to trees and tree care as professionals for many years, and though we know our stuff, new research is always coming out for tree health, and we believe in providing our customers with the most up to date, eco-friendly solutions to their arborist needs. We care for our clients property as if it is our own, and guarantee to complete a project up to and beyond your expectations. Aside from keeping our clients safe when removing unhealthy or unsightly trees, nothing makes us more satisfied than seeing our customers happy with the renewed view of their healthy trimmed trees.

How much does tree removal cost?

Our tree removal cost is based on the size of the tree, type of tree, diameter, amount of trees, proximity to hazards, along with several other variables. For the most accurate and affordable cost, give us a call to discuss your particular situation, and we will give you a custom quote based on your needs. Some companies add their equipment rental fees to your final bill, but we own all of our state of the art, efficient tree removal equipment, which helps give our neighbors across Columbia SC the best possible pricing. We pride ourselves on our customer service and always push to provide the best price around for tree removal services in Columbia SC. Many times, we provide lower pricing and better quality attention to detail on the job than shoddy arborists who have their pockets in mind before your gratification.

Can't afford tree removal?

If you do not believe you can afford tree removal, give us a call. We provide truly cost-efficient pricing for safe and speedy removal. A lot of people think about the upfront cost of tree removal, but if you have a tree on your property and find an inexperienced arborist or decide to do it yourself, be aware that the problem may become more expensive over time. A bad tree removal job can lead to fallen trees on homes, cars, fences, neighbors property, or worse of all, you or your loved ones. We have had many customers that share stories like this with us and always let us know how they wish they decided to call us sooner. Tree removal may seem pricey, but more importantly it is an investment into a higher quality property for your family, not to mention higher property value.

Is tree removal covered by insurance?

Depending on the situation, tree removal can be covered by insurance in Columbia SC. If a tree has fallen on your home during a storm, and this is part of your property insurance contract, you are covered. We advise our customers to double check with their providers to see if they will have to pay out of pocket or if it can be covered.

Can tree removal be capitalized and tax deductible?

If you are curious about how tree removal plays into your taxes, it is generally known that trees that you have removed for the safety of your home, family, and property are deductible and you can claim and file as an expense. Also when you remove a tree after an unforeseen storm or other accident like a car crash, where your tree is unsafely damaged, our tree removal services would likely be tax deductible as an expense. On the other hand, if your tree was not damaged, or if there is no risk of safety to your property and those living on the property, and you are just giving your place a new look, tree removal in Columbia SC in these cases would not be deductible. All of that being said, we are not giving legal advice and advise you to ask an accountant for further information.

How do we deal with tree stump removal?

We both grind and fully remove stumps. Our equipment is top of the line, and gets the job done better than most equipment used in the industry. With our technique and knowledge from years of experience in the field, we handle our equipment carefully to leave your property healthy and beautiful, so you don’t have to look at another ugly stump again. If your stump is attached to considerably sized roots, they can become a detriment in later projects on your property. Extensive root systems can prevent or make hardscaping, landscaping, or additional projects more difficult down the road. If you are planning any of these ventures on your land, we will give you our best knowledge for you to have a successful new look on your property. Stumps can be a safety hazard as well. We have several customers that tell us of their children playing in their backyard and tripping on tree stumps they forget are there. We have your family’s safety in mind when we come to a job, and we are ready for the job 100% of the time.

How to decide on the right arborist?

To answer this further, we ask another question that customers have for us. Are tree removal companies licensed? In Columbia SC, tree removal companies do not legally have to hold a license, so it can be difficult to find and trust a local arborist who will provide a job well done, every time. Call us, and you can rest assured knowing we are experienced, certified tree removal professionals. The difference between our company and our competition is our customer satisfaction guarantee. We promise to leave your property better looking than it was before we stepped foot onto your property. All of our tree services are performed in the most responsible and environmentally sustainable fashion, to keep your trees and the surrounding nature thriving for years.
