The Most Commonly Asked Questions About Tree Care
Here in Bluffton and the surrounding Lowcountry areas, we have a variety of native and ornamental tree species, including live oaks, Carolina Palmettos (sabal palms), Southern magnolias, loblolly pines, crape myrtles, and bald cypress trees.Â
The good news is that our certified arborists are highly trained and experienced in the care of all these trees. And you don’t have to know what species you have on your property — just let us know you need help with their care, and we’ll take care of identifying them and evaluating their health.
A tree may require removal if it exhibits any of the following signs:
- A Brown Canopy in the Spring or Summer: If more than 30% of the tree’s branches are bare, brittle, or completely dead during the peak growing season, recovery is highly unlikely.
- Fungal Growth at the Base of the Tree: Large, shelf-like mushrooms or conks growing around the root flare point to extensive, hidden rot inside the structural root system.
- Trunk Cracks and Cavities: Deep, structural splits running vertically up the trunk or large hollowed-out cavities mean the tree’s physical strength is deeply compromised.
- Heaving Soil: If the ground on one side of the tree is lifting or cracking, it means the root system is actively failing to anchor the tree.
Our warm, humid coastal climate is paradise not just for humans but also for a handful of destructive tree pests, including palmetto weevils, southern pine beetles, ambrosia beetles, scale insects, and aphids. Routine inspections can help identify infestations early before significant damage occurs.
Leaning trees can become dangerous, particularly after storms. For this reason, it is best to have a qualified tree care company assess the tree as soon as possible to determine whether corrective action or removal is necessary.
In most cases, yes. Both the Town of Bluffton and Beaufort County have strict tree preservation ordinances to protect our beautiful canopy, and removing a tree without a permit can result in heavy fines. For help navigating the regulations in your area, reach out to our tree company. We’ll evaluate your tree and complete the permitting process for you.
