Tree service in Florence, South Carolina
Tree removal and trimming across the City of Florence, from older streets near downtown and Timrod Park to newer neighborhoods off I-95 and I-20.
Florence is the seat of Florence County and had 39,899 residents at the 2020 census. It grew as a railroad town where three lines met, and it's still a crossroads today: I-95 runs through the city and I-20 ends here. Jeffries Creek winds through town on its way to the Great Pee Dee River.
A city that keeps its trees
The City of Florence earned its 46th straight year as a Tree City USA in 2026, and holds more Tree City USA Growth Awards than any other city in South Carolina. In 2025 city crews planted 287 trees, pruned 2,085 and removed 144 hazardous ones. That work covers city property. Trees on your own lot are yours to look after, and if a tree is in the strip along the street, check with the city's Public Works Department before anyone cuts it.
Old shade trees near Timrod Park
The historic homes around Timrod Park and downtown sit under mature trees, often close to porches, garages and overhead service lines. Jobs there usually mean sectional takedowns with rigging, careful pruning and planning around on-street parking.
Storm history
The Florence airport logged a 67 mph gust during Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and a 61 mph gust during Hurricane Florence in 2018, and about 12,000 customers lost power at the height of Florence.
