Description of Work: Fabulous crew! Took down two large trees, ground the stumps, mulched them into the back of a huge truck; raked and swept everything in just one hour! And...very reasonable price.

Description of Work: Removed a very large dead tree, misc. pruning, stump grinding. Very happy with their work. They were familiar with the Summerville tree removal permitting process. They were prompt, worked efficiently, and cleaned up thoroughly. I would use them again or recommend them.

Description of Work: The provider did nothing. If you only want a stump remover DO NOT CALL this company. I called in January to have a stump removed and was asked to wait until February as their machines were prepped for the "season". When I called back they advised to call somewhere else, because they were too busy. Great customer service.

Response from Charleston Stump Stompers and Tree Service
We apologize for any inconvenience. When you initially called, we did suggest that there were other companies who do just stumps and that the classifieds were a place we had seen some. We are a full service tree care company. When you called us back a month later, as our office manager suggested you might do if you had not found anyone else, she let you know that we had become very busy and booked out quite a way and would not be able to get to your stump in a timely fashion. Early spring weather does that to our business, and we are grateful when that happens. We are frustrated, however when very occasionally our name creates a misunderstanding and we take responsibility for that. Believe me, if we could, we would have changed it long ago if we knew what we know now. We added "and Tree Service" to it 26 years ago and made our byline on all our trucks and marketing materials say "Expert Tree Care", but the folks just kept calling us 'Stump Stompers.' It is what all of our customers have known and liked...and it is catchy, so they remember it for a long, long time. 75-80% of our business is from repeat customers. Almost 30 years ago, we did just do stumps, and our name stuck. Over 25 years ago we grew into a major tree service and stumps became a part of our total service and not a thing we do by itself unless we are very slow and can get to customers with stumps promptly and without throwing off the timing of our schedule. Our stump grinder needs to stay with our crews on the job in order to complete each one. We hope you understand and read our other reviews that show us to be a conscientious business who works hard to do and be the best we can be. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. You have also provided us with the opportunity to explain an important issue that we deal with every now and then. If we had been the company to take out the tree that went with your stump, you would not have had a stump left in the ground. Our tree service includes stump removal when we take a tree down, thus the grinder staying on the job. Sadly, many others don't and some don't even have grinders and never mention the stump until the customer is left with it. thank you for your time to read our response.

Description of Work: They trimmed several tree limbs throughout the yard that were about to touch the house or power lines. These limbs bases were extremely high in the air and the team had the proper equipment to safely remove them. I would call them in the future.

Description of Work: Removed 2 large palms from the front of my house. Work completed in approximately 1 hour including grinding the stumps and very thorough clean-up. No damage to the front lawn. I would strongly recommend Stump Stompers for any tree work needs.

Description of Work: Removed 70 foot pine trees and sweet gum trees. |They had to remove a part of my wood fence for access and they replaced the fencing before they left. |The heavy equipment they used did leave a few ruts in the grass due to the heavy rains we had just before they did the work. Delaying the work could have avoided this but I did not want to wait. |Very happy with the results. |

Description of Work: Have used them 3 times previous for tree and stump removal. They have always done a good job promptly and met my expectations for a reasonable price. I called them in October and they did not believe the tree should be removed, and I accept his judgment.

See above.
Description of Work: Provider inspected the job and gave us an estimate which was just a little higher than the provider we used. Rep. was very professional, thorough and I don't doubt they would have done a great job. We needed a large pine tree taken down and several trees trimmed back from the house. We went with the lower estimate (retirees need to watch their money!) because we had used that provider in the past and we were very pleased.

It didn't go.
Description of Work: Nothing. Called for estimate and gave details of work needed. They said someone would be out later in the week and we did not have to be there. Last contact. No appearance or follow up. Work went to Davis Tree.

Response from Charleston Stump Stompers and Tree Service
We called [removed member name] and apologized for not showing up to do his and his wife, [removed member name], estimate. His review prompted an all-out, in-office investigation. I cannot remember ever, in 24 years, just leaving a request unanswered like this. But, in fact, we did receive his call on Aug.26th, we do have the written details of his request taken by our office manager, Cindy, she did make copies for our estimators... and after that, we cannot track what happened to that bid order. Sadly "it fell through the cracks." It most probably fell out of one of our fellow's notebook as he was working his way through his daily rounds of estimates. We made a mistake and will beef up our procedure to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Description of Work: We had a tree that needed to be removed and called for an estimate. I recieved a call back the next business day and was informed that our home was at the edge of their service area. The conversation was very professinal and considerate but explained that we could obtain a better price than they could do for such a small job so far from their facility. The fact that a call was made to, in essence, turn down the work was very much appreciated.
