Tree Trimming in Myrtle Beach
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.

Benefits of Tree Trimming in Myrtle Beach
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:

Types of Tree Trimming
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.
Stump Removal in Myrtle Beach
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.

Benefits of Stump Removal in Myrtle Beach

Reduce Headaches
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.

Renovations will bring ‘new life’ to Myrtle Beach trampoline park. Here’s what’s coming.

The Rockin’ Jump — Myrtle Beach’s first trampoline park, will re-brand itself as the Sky Zone Trampoline Park, bringing new renovations for families such as a Wipe out section, a warped wall and a ninja challenge course.
Owned by local husband and wife Steve and Chrissy Mays, the trampoline park was brought to the Myrtle Beach area in 2016 and will make the transition to the Sky Zone officially in early January.
“The transition has brought new life to the park,” Steve Mays said. “A new paint scheme and new signage have really freshened things up.”
So what’s new besides the name?
Seven additions are coming to the locally-owned trampoline park, according to its website.
Guests will be able to try an 80-foot-long ninja challenge course that’ll go through nets, bridges, rings and swinging platforms. Or they can try their hand at the “boulder balls,” which bear a resemblance to the infamous obstacle course of TBS’s 2008 game show, “Wipe Out.”
A few other classic obstacles will be added, such as a fidget ladder, a warped wall to climb, or a drop zone, where you can take a plunge into a soft landing pit.
“We are also excited about new programs like our Glow Nights on Friday and Saturday plus the Little Leapers time held every morning,” Steve Mays said.
There’s more in store for the new year, though.
Guests can play basketball, soccer and volleyball on a new air-filled court that will be added in January.
The Mays will also add a three-story “Little Ninja” play area, made for kids seven years old and under. The addition of the play area will make the park “more inclusive for all ages.”
If you’ve scheduled a birthday or have a season pass for the Rockin’ Jump, your purchases will remain valid for the Sky Zone. A new website will reflect the transition soon.
Sky Zone is a trampoline park chain that owns several locations across the U.S. The Myrtle Beach location is one of 18 locations that have recently been added to the company, along with parks in Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana.
“Sky Zone was the original trampoline park and continues to be the leader in family entertainment,” Steve Mays said. “We are excited about the new attractions and innovations they will continue to bring to our park.”

Deshaun Watson preaches patience in early stages with Browns

Along with passes and plays, Deshaun Watson is practicing patience. And like nearly everything else with Cleveland's quarterback, it's taking time.
Four starts into his tenure with the Browns, Watson insisted Thursday he's not frustrated by his poor passer rating, uneven performances or any other statistics that might not be up to his past standards.
While staying present, Watson is looking ahead.
“It’s the long run and that’s why I came to Cleveland," he said. “It’s not about right now. It’s the long run.”
Watson is 2-2 as a starter since being reinstated from an 11-game NFL suspension following accusations of sexual misconduct by two dozen women during massage therapy sessions in Texas.
The 27-year-old's numbers are pedestrian, but there have been some extenuating circumstances for each of his outings.
His Dec. 4 debut in Houston — where he spent four seasons — was emotional, and he had to knock off rust from a 700-day layoff between starts. He posted the lowest QB rating (53.4) of his career as Cleveland beat the Texans.
Watson looked more like himself the following week in a loss at Cincinnati. He didn't need to do much in a 13-3 home win over Baltimore.
Last week against New Orleans, the Browns played the coldest regular-season home game in franchise history (6 degrees at kickoff) with whipping winds off Lake Erie making it tough to throw. Watson had a pair of potential TD passes dropped and another pass deflect off rookie receiver David Bell’s hands for an interception.
His numbers — 703 yards, two TDs, three picks, eight sacks and a 69.3 rating — are underwhelming and not eye-pleasing to Watson, who led the league with 4,823 yards passing in 2020.
He's not ignoring them, just minimizing their importance.
“My main focus is winning. I came to Cleveland to win a Super Bowl,” he said. “If that’s throwing the ball five times or throwing the ball 40 times and scoring five touchdowns or scoring zero touchdowns, as long as we win, that’s all I really care about.
“So the stats and stuff like that, I’ve done that before. I’ve had opportunities before. I’ve led the league in passing before, scored a lot of touchdowns, did Pro Bowls, all that stuff. My ultimate goal is trying to get that ring, and I’m going to do whatever I can to be able to try to have that opportunity.”
The Browns (6-9) aren't going to the playoffs. They can, however, wreck any postseason plans for the Washington Commanders (7-7-1) on Sunday and next week in the season finale against Pittsburgh (7-8).
Watson views the games as chances to grow with an offense he's still learning and that has scored just three TDs in his four starts.
“This is an opportunity for us to be able to continue to improve as an offense as a whole and as a team to go out there and score points and show what the Cleveland Browns is about,” Watson said. “We gotta find ways to put more points on the board.”
Cleveland's second straight losing season has intensified the pressure on coach Kevin Stefanski, who led the Browns to a playoff berth in his first season but is 14-18 since.
While there may be an outside drumbeat for Stefanski's job, Watson said the Browns believe in him.
“We all trust Kevin, we love Kevin, we support Kevin, we respect Kevin and everything that he’s about with the Cleveland Browns,” Watson said. “We’re going to continue to build that trust and build that chemistry and look for the future.”
NOTES: DE Jadeveon Clowney didn't practice due an illness, one day after returning from the concussion protocol. ... Pro Bowl LG Joel Bitonio also offered his support of Stefanski. “He's the man for the job for sure,” Bitonio said. “I have a lot of faith in him, what he’s done with our offense, the circumstances we’ve been under.”

“Mt. Atlanticus is the most creative of all of [the minigolf courses] with indoor/outdoor sections, sprawling holes, multiple levels too it and an interesting theme.

US citizens get chance to play role in resettling refugees
REBECCA SANTANAhttps://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/article271351972.html
A government program launched Thursday is giving American citizens the chance to play a role in resettling the thousands of refugees who arrive every year in the United States.During the first year of the Welcome Corps, the State Department aims to line up 10,000 Americans who can help 5,000 refugees adjust to life in the United States.“By tapping into the goodwill of American communities, the Welcome Corps will expand our country’s capacity to provide a warm welcome to higher numbers of refugees,” the departm...
A government program launched Thursday is giving American citizens the chance to play a role in resettling the thousands of refugees who arrive every year in the United States.
During the first year of the Welcome Corps, the State Department aims to line up 10,000 Americans who can help 5,000 refugees adjust to life in the United States.
“By tapping into the goodwill of American communities, the Welcome Corps will expand our country’s capacity to provide a warm welcome to higher numbers of refugees,” the department said in announcing the effort.
When refugees from around the world arrive in the U.S., they face a dramatically different way of life. To ease that transition, the department traditionally has worked with nonprofit groups that specialize in refugee issues. Under the new program, five or more Americans could form a group and help fill this role, as well.
They would apply to privately sponsor refugees to resettle in the U.S. and would be responsible for raising their own money to help the refugees over the first 90 days. Assistance would include everything from greeting refugees at the airport to finding them place to live and getting kids enrolled in school.
A consortium of nonprofits with expertise in refugee resettlement will help oversee the vetting and certification of people and groups who want to be private sponsors. They also will offer training so private sponsors understand what's needed to help refugees adjusting to life in America. The consortium will be responsible for monitoring the program.
The program will roll out in two phases. First, private sponsors will be matched with refugees already approved for resettlement under the U.S. Refugee Assistance Program. That will start during the first half of 2023.
Later, private sponsors could identify refugees abroad they would like to help and then refer those people to the Refugee Assistance Program and assist them once they arrive in the U.S.
The program is different from a recent initiative that allows 30,000 people into the country a month from Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela. They also need a sponsor but are being admitted to the U.S. under a humanitarian parole designation that lasts two years and offers no path to becoming permanent residents or citizens.
Under the refugee program, people fleeing violence or persecution can come to the U.S. and stay permanently. Since the Refugee Act was passed in 1980 the U.S. has admitted a little over 3 million refugees.
The Welcome Corps program comes on the heels of a similar, smaller scale endeavor under which Americans were able to sponsor Afghans or Ukrainians. That program launched in October 2021 and has helped just over 800 people coming to America through a network of 230 certified sponsor circles that included a total of about 5,000 people.
Sasha Chanoff, founder and chief executive of Boston-based RefugePoint, which supports Afghan refugees, said Canada has long used a similar model to help resettle refugees. Chanoff said the sponsor circle program capitalizes on the huge amount of goodwill among Americans to sponsor refugees, something that crosses political divides.
“This represents perhaps a unique opportunity in our history — certainly in our recent history — to really open up space for Americans to protect lives by sponsoring a family,” he said. “We’ve seen the incredible interest among the American public — Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, veterans, so many others across the political spectrum.”
President Joe Biden pledged in a 2021 executive order to restore the U.S. as the world’s haven and he called for private sponsorship of refugees. Under President Donald Trump, the U.S. had largely rolled back the refugee program.
But Thursday's announcement comes as the U.S. is woefully off track if it hopes to meet Biden's goal of 125,000 refugees admitted into the U.S. during the 2023 budget year. According to State Department data, the U.S. has admitted just 6,750 refugees to the country through December — three months into the fiscal year.
Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president and CEO of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service commended the Biden administration’s “forward-thinking” program which has “potential to strengthen ties between refugees and the communities they will call home.” But Vignarajah also noted the low number of refugee admissions. The group is a national nonprofit that helps refugees, asylum seekers, and other immigrants.
“The Biden administration must prioritize the streamlining of refugee admissions, which remain regrettably low this fiscal year. Without urgent action to increase efficiency, it risks letting the compassion of individual sponsors and the expertise of professional refugee resettlement organizations go to waste," Vignarajah said in a statement.
Assistant Secretary of State Julieta Valles Noyes told reporters Thursday that the agency responsible for interviewing refugees overseas had conducted over 20,000 interviews during the first quarter of the year and that she was “confident” that the numbers of refugees arriving in the months ahead would increase.
AP Diplomatic Writer Matthew Lee contributed to this report.
