Find the right service
Expand a service to compare the work involved. Removal, pruning, stump work and cleanup can be included in one estimate with a clear description of each.
Removal for dead, declining, damaged or unwanted trees. We assess tree condition, nearby structures and the available access before recommending how the tree should come down. Your estimate should specify the trees included, wood and brush handling, and the stump finish.
Large-tree removal · Hazardous trees · Oak and pine removal
Explore tree removal →Selective work on trees you want to keep: deadwood removal, damaged-branch pruning and clearance from roofs, drives or other structures. The purpose of the pruning guides the cuts. Point out the branches that concern you and the space you need to use underneath the canopy.
Deadwood pruning · Roof clearance · Canopy raising
Explore tree trimming & pruning →A crane may help where tree condition, structures or limited access make conventional removal difficult. We assess a setup location, reach, ground conditions and the route for moving wood. The estimate identifies when crane assistance is appropriate for the particular tree and property.
Restricted access · Large hardwoods · Trees near structures
Explore crane-assisted tree removal →Grinding addresses the stump left after a removal or older stumps elsewhere in the yard. Tell us about nearby utilities, irrigation and landscaping. Discuss the depth and working area, how the grindings will be handled, and whether your next project needs grinding or a different removal method.
Old stumps · Removal stumps · Millings and cleanup
Explore stump grinding & stump removal →Call for a tree on a structure, blocked access or another urgent tree concern. We take emergency calls 24/7 and assess the situation and conditions before arranging a response. Describe affected buildings, hanging branches and any utility involvement when you call.

Explore emergency tree service & fallen trees →Selective tree and brush removal for a defined work area, a fence line or a planned property project. Mark the boundaries and the trees to keep. The next use of the site helps determine what happens to stumps, brush and larger wood.

The historic district is shaded by enormous old oaks and poplars, many original to the town and standing inches from historic structures. These high-value, high-risk removals are exactly where our crane shines.
Pendleton's historic district holds some of the oldest, largest trees in the county — enormous oaks and poplars standing inches from historic structures. These are high-value, high-consequence trees, so they deserve professional risk assessment rather than guesswork: cavities, root decay, and heavy deadwood are what we look for. When pruning is needed, conservative cuts preserve both the tree and the character of the streetscape. Near Clemson and on the wooded lots around town, protecting roots during any construction is the single best thing an owner can do to keep an old tree standing.
Seasoned Tree Care is based in Honea Path and owned by Johnathan Zoch. We carry $2 million in general liability coverage and workers' compensation. Ask for a certificate of insurance and a written description of the work before scheduling.
Price & planning
The tree's size and condition, access, nearby structures, equipment and cleanup all affect the price. Our tree-work minimum is $500; stump grinding is priced separately. Your written estimate follows an on-site assessment.
| Type of removal | Planning range |
|---|---|
| Small tree | $500–$700 |
| Medium tree | $600–$1,800 |
| Large tree | $1,500–$4,500+ |
| Complex removal | $3,000–$9,000+ |
These are planning ranges, not a quote for your tree. Unusual access, extensive damage or other complications can increase the cost. Stump treatment and debris handling must be specified.

Before you book
Yes. Homes in and around Pendleton's historic district often have very large, old hardwoods growing close to structures that you don't want damaged. We rig and lower limbs piece by piece and can fly larger sections out with our Palfinger crane when the lot allows, keeping the load off the house and landscaping. We'll assess access and overhead lines during the free estimate.
We use turf protection mats to keep trucks and equipment from rutting established lawns and beds, and we plan drag paths and drop zones before any cutting. We carry $2M in liability insurance and workers' comp, and we rake and clean the area when the job is done.
