Professional Tree Services, Since 1948
For 75 years the arborists at Sox & Freeman have been honing their craft. Using top of the line equipment, our ISA-certified arborists will keep your trees healthy, and when necessary, safely remove dangerous trees.

Tree Pruning
Pruning helps your trees look their best and survive the tests of time. Strategically pruning your trees prevents structural weaknesses, removes dangerous dead limbs, and encourages healthy growth.

Tree Disease Care
If your tree is losing its leaves out of season, developing spots, or just isn’t looking right, the problem needs to be fixed before it gets worse or spreads! From treating fungus to eliminating insects, our arborists fight for your trees!

Tree Removal
Removing dead or hazardous trees is a big job which should be done by tree service professionals. Our certified arborists get your trees brought down safely, even for large trees in tight spaces with limited access.

Stump Removal
Tree stumps last for years if left to decay on their own. If you aren’t interested in waiting, get your tree stump professionally removed! Our arborists provide stump grinding and stump excavation.
South Carolina’s Tree Doctors
Great trees are not an accident – with proper care from an experienced arborist, your trees will look better, grow faster, and live longer. Don’t let illnesses, insects, structural defects, or lightning cut your trees’ lives short.

Tree Assessments
Trees easily live for many decades or even centuries, but structural problems and illnesses can arise that may damage or kill them. Schedule a consultation to diagnose these problems before they become serious or perform a risk assessment on a tree that is showing signs of stress!

Tree Lightning Protection
Big trees are often centerpieces of lawns and gardens, but they have the highest risk of suffering from lightning strikes! Protect your leafy giants with a tree lightning protection system to safeguard them from the elements.

Tree Cabling & Bracing
Oaks, pecans, and other large trees, cast amazing shade and look great – but their widely spread limbs can grow to be a liability. Give your trees the support they need to keep them healthy for decades to come.
