SC native trees

Coastal South Carolina Is know for its beautiful native trees- from sprawling live oaks and towering pines, to Palmettos and Magnolias. these trees are an important part of the Lowcountry landscape, but our coastal environment can be tough on them. Salt exposure, high winds, heavy rainfall, hurricanes, pests and intense summer heat make preventative tree maintenance especially important 

Routine inspections are one of the best ways to protect mature trees. Dead, damaged, diseased or poorly attached limbs can become serious hazards during thunderstorms and tropical weather. Proper pruning helps improve a tree’s structure reduces unnecessary weight, and allows wind to move more freely through the canopy, all while preserving the trees natural shape and character. 

Preventative care also means looking beyond branches. Soil conditions, drainage, root health, insects, disease, and changes around the property can all affect a tree’s long term health. Identifying problem’s early allows them to be addressed before they become more expensive, or before removal becomes the only viable option. 

For Homeowners in the Coastal Charleston area preventative maintenance is about more than appearance. Healthy, Properly maintained trees are stronger, safer, and more prepared for the next big storm. 

Taking care of your trees today can greatly help preserve the beauty, shade, and character of the Lowcountry for generations to come!
