Our job is to protect your home, your trees, and also your wallet!
Have you noticed your favorite tree growing in a strange shape? Are your trees or shrubs so overgrown that it's making your property and home look unkempt? Are the trees near your home weighed down by dangerous dead branches? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, it might be time to speak with a Planet Green Tree Service professional to find a solution.
Like anything that lives, trees respond to their environment. When trees are not properly maintained, they can cause a whole host of problems for the homeowner. Overgrowth doesn't just look bad - it can be a potential safety hazard and liability for your home. To prevent this from happening, it's crucial that your trees are trimmed and pruned regularly. Trimming your trees and shrubs gives your home a tidy, appealing look and facilitates healthy plant and tree growth.
Because every tree and shrub is different, you must approach tree trimming with a plan. Before you start hacking at your trees with a machete, be sure to contact Planet Green Tree Service. Our team of expert arborists will come to your home and determine the best path to take for your tree trimming needs. We always take into account variables like the strengths, weaknesses, and species of your trees.
For some folks, tree trimming seems like a minor detail in the grand scheme of homeownership. It can be a tedious job, but keeping your trees trimmed and well-maintained is more important than you might think. Below are just a few of the many benefits of keeping your trees and shrubs trimmed:
Not all tree trimming services from Planet Green Tree Service are the same. Our experts specialize in a number of different tree trimming services to ensure you are getting the right kind of trim for the appropriate situation. Because even the smallest mistake can permanently affect your tree's health, we approach every tree trimming job with surgeon-like precision. That way, you know your trees are in capable, responsible hands.
For most property owners, removing a tree can seem like a major project. While that notion certainly isn't wrong, tree removal is more straightforward and often easier than trying to remove an unsightly stump from your yard. Have you ever wondered why you see so many yards with stumps dotted around the land? It's because they're very difficult to remove. That is why Planet Green Tree Service has been offering stump removal services in South Carolina for more than 33 years. Our skilled stump removal experts bring a wealth of knowledge and cutting-edge tools to every stump removal project they tackle.
The fact of the matter is this: trying to remove a stump on your own is an incredible undertaking. Going the "DIY" route can take weeks to complete, even if you spend an hour or two every day. There's also the issue of operating heavy machinery (which costs time and money to rent) and even light fires to expedite the process, which is dangerous. For these reasons alone, we always recommend that you bring in a professional to remove your tree stump safely and effectively.
Sure, you could take the time to do your research on how to remove a stump. You could go to Home Depot, rent a high-powered stump grinder, and risk your health trying to operate it without training. You could spend every winking moment of your free time trying to grind the stump down so you can remove it from your yard. But why go through all that trouble when a trustworthy, experienced stump removal company like Planet Green Tree Service is only a phone call away?
Our team of stump removal professionals uses state-of-the-art tools designed to keep your property damage-free during the removal process. We will turn your yard into a beautiful blank slate, so you can focus on enjoying your stump-free while we haul away all the debris.
With 33 years of experience, it's no wonder why so many South Carolina locals choose Planet Green Tree Service for tree trimming and stump removal in their city. Clients love us because we believe in exceeding your expectations, no matter how large or small a job is.

MOUNT PLEASANT — A century-old tree is set to place new roots as crews prep the oak for relocation next week.
The tree will be the focal point of Gather MTP, a planned entertainment and restaurant hub located on Midtown Avenue in Mount Pleasant, just off of Hungry Neck Boulevard.
The 5.5-acre site is mostly cleared as the development nears a Dec. 3 groundbreaking. Many of the trees that populated the property next door, which is slated for a brewery, have already been removed — save for the 40-foot, 500,000-pound oak.
Gather MTP Developers Mack Cross, a managing principal for Four Oaks Property Group, and Preston Wendell, a manager for Whitewater Property Ventures, said it was important for the gathering space to be anchored with the mature, lush oak.
“We chose not to look at it as an inconvenience, but really find the opportunity with that tree,” Cross said. “It's an investment in the tree, and in something that has been here long before us and will be here probably long after us.”
This tree will soon be relocated to the corner of the Gather MTP site, roughly 700 feet away. The move is being handled by Environmental Design, a Texas-based company that routinely transplants mature trees.
The move has been over a year in the making said Phillip Zellner, an arborist with Environmental Design. The tree’s roots were pruned to encourage new growth. Zellner said crews have kept it watered and monitored it closely since October 2024 to ensure it’s ready for the big move.
The earth around the 100-year-old tree, moss hanging from its branches and leaves crinkling in the wind, had already been cleared on Nov. 26. The tree’s root ball was shielded with a wooden barrier.
Though the tree predates much of the buildings and developments surrounding it, the oak is strong enough to withstand relocation, Zellner said. Environmental Design claims its success rate for transplanted trees is nearly 100 percent. Zellner said he’s only ever lost two trees he’s relocated, both to lightning strikes.
“Trees are not like people. It's not like operating on a 99-year-old man,” Zellner said. “If the tree's healthy, it's actually got a lot better chance for transplant success than a small tree does.”
The process doesn’t involve picking the tree up with cranes or heavy machinery, which could do more harm to a mature tree than good, Zellner said.
“When we move the tree, we're not pulling at all on the canopy. We're not pulling on the root ball.” he said.
The tree will be loaded onto a platform and then rolled along a series of inflated air bags, lining the several hundred feet between its current spot and future placement site. Crews will load the tree onto the bags with a ramp and slowly roll it to its new home on the corner of the development, where Midtown Avenue and Hancock Street meet.
The relocation will take place on Dec. 3 at 4 p.m. and will coincide with a groundbreaking for Gather MTP. Once completed, Gather MTP will contain a mix of office space, restaurants, and small businesses.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) — HCA Healthcare is building a new freestanding emergency room on Long Point Road as development continues in the town of 95,000 residents.
The healthcare company is investing more than $11 million into an emergency room with essential care services. HCA officials said patients will experience shorter wait times and access to a team of more than 50 staff members who can quickly assess and treat patients in critical or unstable conditions.
“One of the needs is to not have to fight traffic to get here for emergency care, and this cuts down on that,” Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie said. “Berkeley County is growing, and there’s also a lot of people that do not live in Mount Pleasant. They’re working in hospitality later in the evening. This is another choice for them for healthcare.”
Patients will be able to get lab work, imaging screenings, medication and rapid procedures at the emergency room, which will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Mount Pleasant facility marks the second freestanding emergency room to break ground in two months. Another facility on Johns Island is expected to open in September 2026. HCA Healthcare’s James Island emergency room has been open since September 2023, spanning 13,000 square feet with 11 patient beds.
The emergency rooms are part of a growing Trident system that officials said serviced more than 190,000 Lowcountry residents last year.
“This improves access to healthcare, and it builds community and it’s a great spot because for an emergency freestanding clinic like this, you don’t have to go through anybody’s neighborhood to get here, so it’s a welcome addition in Mount Pleasant,” Haynie said.
The project is expected to be completed late next year.

CHARLESTON — Small Business Saturday may have been founded by one of the largest credit card companies in the U.S., but the spirit to support local is strong, especially in the Lowcountry.
American Express originated the idea in 2010 to encourage consumers to shop small during the holiday season. It gained government support a year later when the U.S. Small Business Administration became a co-sponsor.
In the Charleston area, supporting small makes the economy tick.
For every dollar spent in a local establishment, about 67 percent stays in the community, supporting neighborhood families and helping to “preserve the personality” that makes this area so special, said Matt Brady, economic development director for the Town of Mount Pleasant.
“Supporting local businesses is one of the most powerful things we can do as a community,” he said.
He added, “You are not just making a purchase, you are investing in your neighbors and strengthening the small businesses that give our town its special character.”
Mount Pleasant's locally owned shops, include Drifter Merch, owned by Lorrie Dixson Griggs. Founded in 2016 out of a deep-rooted love for live music, Drifter Merch has grown into a thriving hub for music enthusiasts, offering more than 60 high-quality, band-inspired designs from Widespread Panic and Billy Strings to the Grateful Dead and Willie Nelson in the form of T-shirts, hoodies, hats, accessories and more.
“Drifter Merch was built by fans, for fans,” Griggs said. “Every piece we create is meant to capture the spirit of the music that brings us all together.”
Mount Pleasant also has multiple bookstores. Pick up a new or secondhand book at The Village Bookseller, the buy-sell-trade shop Trade-A-Book and The Archive, which also offers coffee, wine and snacks.
Cara Otto, owner of her own small business — furniture and home-décor company Indigo Refurb — said an unknown gem is Grammy’s Attic off Clements Ferry Road.
“Also Eclectic Finds in Mount Pleasant is a mall with tons of small businesses inside featuring home décor, furniture, collectibles, body care products and so much more,” Otto said. “Both are great options for shopping small.”
For locals Julie Collins and Connie Robertson, they recommend Yesterday’s and Today's Unique Treasures in Moncks Corner.
With more than 50 small businesses under one roof, Robertson said, “it is a fantastic store with so many unique vendors truly has something for everyone!”
On James Island, Lounge with Us has the cozy factor with lounge clothes, pajamas and accessories.
The Cannonborough-Elliottborough district in downtown Charleston is a trove of small women-owned shops. There’s The Paper Canopy with curated cards, stationery and an adorable children’s section. Taxidermy features luxury exotic leather handbags, shoes and jackets in statement-making colors. And Tiny Tassel is known for its beaded jewelry and bags.
Shoppers can also dine at Pink Cactus or a number of the new restaurants around Spring Street, or grab some fresh groceries at The Veggie Bin.
A number of businesses on Oprah’s “Best Charleston-Made Holiday Gifts” feature favorites sold here in the Holy City. The list includes a bow tie from West Ashley-based Brackish, jewelry from woman-owned Hermosa and award-winning tea at veteran-owned Oliver Pluff & Co.
In North Charleston, Park Circle has The Station and Odd Duck Market for shopping; Paddock and Whiskey, Orange Spot and Common House Aleworks for dining; and Park Circle Ceramics for a fun and inexpensive spot to make your own gifts.
And while not open yet, Off Track Ice Cream on Beaufain Street is moving to Park Circle soon.
In West Ashley, visit local favorites like Consign Charleston, where shoppers can find gently used clothing, collectibles and furniture on a budget, or Charmed Beauty Gifts and Apparel and Rhodes Boutique, which have an array of Southern-inspired jewelry, gifts, apparel, handbags and more. Garfield Jewelers also has an ever-changing selection of estate jewelry, Charleston-themed rice bracelets and seasonal gifts, while local record store Monster Music and Movies offers the Southeast’s largest selection of vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray and cassette tapes.
Hungry? Grab a bite at Betty Lou’s Bistro or Cafe Roca, or satiate your sweet tooth at Christophe’s Macaron et Chocolat. Betty Lou’s is run by Kris Kincaid, also the owner-operator at local Cannon Distillery.
Or take a drive to Owlbear Cafe in Mount Pleasant, where the extensive library of board games are free to use.
Lowcountry Local First has more than a dozen pages of small businesses you can shop and support on Nov. 29.
