Tree Removal Across Lexington County

We connect homeowners in the Town of Lexington and across Lexington County with independent, experienced, and qualified local professionals for tree removal, stump grinding, storm cleanup and trimming. The county runs from the Lake Murray shore down into the Sandhills, and the trees, soils and rules change along the way.

Call (803) 784‑3426 to get connected with an experienced local pro.

Area guides

These places have their own pages because their trees, lots or rules change what a tree job involves:

From the lake to the Sandhills

The northern part of the county, around Lake Murray, Chapin and Irmo, sits on the edge of the Piedmont with more clay in the soil; the southern part, around Gilbert, Pelion and Swansea, leans toward the sandy soils of the Sandhills. Clay holds water, so trees there tend to tip out of soaked ground after long rains. Sand drains fast, so pines there suffer in drought and draw bark beetles. The Town of Lexington sits in between and gets a bit of both. The older cities along the rivers, West Columbia and Cayce, tend to have older yard trees and tighter lots.

Which rules apply to your address?

The Town of Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, West Columbia, Cayce, Pelion and Gilbert are separate municipalities, and much of the county, including Red Bank, Oak Grove and Seven Oaks, is unincorporated. Irmo also reaches into Richland County. Each has its own rules on development, debris pickup and burning, and on Lake Murray, Dominion Energy's shoreline rules come first. See Lake Murray. Before a big removal, ask the pro which rules apply to your street and check with your HOA.

Wires everywhere

Whether you are served by Dominion Energy or Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative, trees near lines follow the utility's rules. Read trees near power lines in Lexington County before anyone cuts near a wire.

Land clearing

This site covers trees around homes: removals, stumps, storm cleanup and trimming. It does not cover clearing lots or acreage for building.
