You could say that Drew Bedingfield grew up around trees. As a Lowcountry native with a family history in the logging industry, he remembers hearing about trees and their importance to the environment throughout his childhood. It’s this personal connection that allows TreeWiseMen to offer a unique and refreshing perspective to tree care.
Drew graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Business Management and a focus in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology. Upon graduation, he moved to the Lowcountry and worked as a Firefighter EMT for the Town of Bluffton. When Hurricane Matthew hit our area in 2016, the devastation it left behind was overwhelming. Drew, in collaboration with his Lowcountry community, worked tirelessly to help clean up the mess the storm left behind.
Drew combined his background, knowledge, and strong work ethic to start TreeWiseMen as a part-time venture in 2012. With a one-man crew, a truck, and a trailer, TreeWiseMen got to work and has continued growing in leaps and bounds since.
Drew studied and became a Certified Arborist in Spring 2013. He is an expert in diagnosing and treating tree and shrub problems specific to the Lowcountry area. His association with industry partners allows him to remain up-to-date on new techniques which he applies when a situation calls for it.
Drew hasn’t been stumped by a tree yet.
