What Time of Year Is Best to Trim Trees in South Carolina? | Taylored Lawns & Tree Service

What time of year is best to trim trees in South Carolina? If you're in Lexington SC, West Columbia, or the Columbia SC Midlands wondering when to schedule tree trimming, this episode breaks down the ideal timing by season AND by species.
Taylored Lawns & Tree Service — Lexington County's tree trimming experts — shares the pro timing guide:
📅 Best Overall Window: Late fall through early spring (November–March)
Trees are dormant, diseases spread slower, and you can see the branch structure clearly.
🌳 By Species:
• Oaks: Winter only (avoid oak wilt season)
• Pines: Late winter to early spring
• Crepe Myrtles: Late winter before new growth
• Magnolias: After spring bloom
• Dogwoods: Late fall to winter
🚫 When NOT to trim:
• During spring flush (stresses the tree)
• Extreme summer heat
• Unless it's an emergency
⚠️ Warning signs your tree needs trimming NOW — regardless of season:
Dead branches, hanging limbs, branches touching structures, storm damage, or visible disease.

Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in South Carolina? | Taylored Lawns & Tree Service

Do you need a permit to remove a tree in South Carolina? If you're in Lexington SC, West Columbia, or anywhere in the Columbia SC area and thinking about cutting down a tree, this episode covers exactly what you need to know before you fire up the chainsaw.
The short answer: In most cases, no — but there are important exceptions that can cost you $500 to $10,000+ in fines.
Taylored Lawns & Tree Service — Lexington County's tree removal experts — breaks down SC tree removal laws:
✅ What we cover:
• South Carolina's stance on tree permits (no statewide law)
• Lexington County and Town of Lexington regulations
• HOA restrictions — the #1 gotcha homeowners miss
• Protected tree species in SC
• Trees near power lines, wetlands, and easements
• Emergency removal — when permits don't apply
• Penalties for unauthorized removal ($500–$10,000+)
⚠️ Key takeaway: Most residential tree removal in unincorporated Lexington County doesn't require a permit. But HOA rules, buffer zones, and utility easements can trip you up. When in doubt, call a licensed pro.
