How to Choose the Right Tree Care Company for Your Property
Whether you're dealing with a storm-damaged oak in Bluffton or planning seasonal tree pruning on a commercial property in Savannah, choosing the right tree care company is essential for the health, safety, and beauty of your landscape.
With so many options available, it can be hard to know who to trust. In this guide, we'll walk you through what to look for in a professional tree service, how to protect your investment, and why Kolcun Tree Care is the Lowcountry’s go-to provider for expert arborist services.
Why Choosing the Right Tree Care Company Matters
Trees are long-term investments that enhance curb appeal, provide shade, and increase property value—when properly cared for. But poor pruning, improper tree removal, or missed signs of disease can cause irreversible damage or create safety hazards.
A reliable tree care company should provide:
- Expertise in tree health care and diagnostics
- Certified arborists with professional training
- Proper equipment for safe, efficient work
- Liability insurance and a commitment to safety standards
- Personalized service tailored to your property’s needs
Key Services to Look For
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Regular tree trimming improves structure, reduces hazards, and enhances the natural shape of your trees. Tree pruning helps manage growth, remove dead limbs, and promote healthy canopies—especially in species like live oaks and magnolias common to the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Tree Removal & Emergency Services
When a tree is diseased, dying, or poses a risk to nearby structures, tree removal becomes necessary. A professional crew will assess the safest method to take down the tree with minimal disruption. And when storms hit, emergency tree removal services can quickly clear fallen limbs or uprooted trees from driveways, roads, and roofs.
Tree Fertilization & Health Care
Healthy trees start below the surface. Tree fertilization provides essential nutrients that may be missing from Bluffton’s sandy soils or Savannah’s clay-rich ground. Customized deep-root fertilization treatments can:
- Improve resistance to disease and insects
- Encourage strong root development
- Enhance canopy density and color
- Support stressed or newly planted trees
Tree health care also includes diagnosing pest infestations, treating fungal issues, and monitoring long-term tree vitality.
Stump Grinding
After a tree is removed, stump grinding eliminates tripping hazards and eyesores. It also prevents pest problems and frees up space for replanting or landscaping.
