Keep Trees Looking Their Best With Professional Tree Pruning Services<\/span><\/h1>\n

Left on their own, your trees may become top-heavy or develop an aesthetically challenged appearance. When done properly, pruning keeps your trees healthy and looking great! It is essential to have this performed by an arborist instead of improvised or seasonally inappropriate pruning, which can cause more damage than good.<\/p>\n

Pruning- <\/span>Like a Hair Cut With Health Benefits<\/h2>\n

In the wild, trees do what they want to do – and an ugly tree in the woods is fine! But, to have the trees in your yard look elegant and grow their best requires skill and knowledge. Our certified arborists are trained in how to safely trim away excess, dead, or unwanted branches to achieve a healthier, better looking, and longer lasting tree.<\/p>\n

I needed a pecan tree trimmed in my backyard and reached out to several companies for quotes to compare prices and services. Sox and Freeman was not only the most economical but the most professional. The company was super responsive.<\/p>\n

This company is incredible, their entire staff is amazing. The guy who took down our huge tree with his great team was extremely professional & super talented at his job. We could not be more impressed or happy with the way they took care of us. You must call this company if you really want the best tree service in SC.<\/p>\n

Same as the other reviewers. Professional, courteous, timely. Caleb Hughes and his team came and spent an additional 30 minutes putting our tree swing back up (better than it was before) after doing a lot of pruning on a very large water oak. They also did a great job keeping falling limbs off of a lot of our plants as well.<\/p>\n

Very knowledgeable, professional and courteous team!
They even came back to finish on a later day to accommodated my neighbors’ schedule (since needed to access their yard).
I would definitely use them in future!<\/p>\n

These are wonderful people. Everything was done on time and in a professional manner. Very pleasant to work with. I will have no hesitation to use them again. They are local company that has been in business for 70 years!<\/p>\n

At Sox & Freeman our crews always include an ISA-certified arborist. The International Society of Arboriculture sets standards for arboriculture (tree care) and requires training, testing, and continuing education to qualify for and maintain certification.
When it comes to pruning trees, expertise is essential to avoid unsightly results or even the death of your trees. If you\u2019ve ever encountered crape myrtles that were pruned at the wrong time of year, you\u2019ve seen firsthand how pruning can go awry!
Our certified arborists have the training and experience to keep your trees looking great for decades to come.<\/p>\n

Crape myrtles and palm trees are two of the most common trees in South Carolina that require regular pruning to look their best. Some types of trees, like magnolias and hollies, naturally grow symmetrically and rarely require pruning.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t sure if your tree needs pruning, our professional arborists can help you determine if and when it will be appropriate.<\/p>\n

While the terms pruning and trimming are commonly used interchangeably (as we have done here), the reality is that the terms mean different things to arborists. At Sox & Freeman, we are tree specialists and provide pruning services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pruning is the deliberate removal of limbs to encourage trees to grow more healthily and maintain a pleasing appearance over a long period of time. Trimming, on the other hand, usually refers to cutting trees back from buildings or power lines, and often is done without much consideration for the tree\u2019s long term growth.<\/p>\n

The frequency of pruning will depend on the species of tree and its stage of growth. However, in most cases pruning should be done every one or two years.<\/p>\n
