About Cola Tree Service Pros
- Free written estimates

Cola Tree Service Pros is a tree service in Columbia, SC, working across Lexington, Irmo and the Midlands: tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, storm cleanup and land clearing. Every job starts with a clear written estimate, follows recognized safety and pruning standards, and ends with a clean yard.
Tree work in the Midlands should be simple to buy
Hiring a tree service is stressful. It usually happens after a storm, or when a big tree over the house starts to worry you, and the quotes rarely match: one includes the stump, one does not, one says "cleanup" without saying what that means.
Cola Tree Service Pros was built for Columbia homeowners who want a straight answer: what the tree needs, what it will cost in writing, and work done to recognized standards by people who understand Midlands trees.
That local knowledge matters. Columbia sits on the Fall Line, where Piedmont red clay meets Sandhills sand, and trees behave differently on each side. Loblolly pines, water oaks, willow oaks, sweetgums, crape myrtles and Bradford pears each fail in their own way. Storms like Hurricane Helene in September 2024 showed what saturated ground and wind can do.
The standard every job has to meet
These are the commitments behind every estimate. If a job cannot meet them, it should not start.
- A written scope and price before work starts
What comes down, how it is lowered, whether the stump is ground and how deep, what happens to the wood, and the cleanup standard.
- Pruning to ANSI A300
Cuts just outside the branch collar, no flush cuts, no topping, and no climbing spikes on trees that stay.
- Safety to ANSI Z133 and OSHA
Drop zones, rigging and lowering near structures, and nothing near energized lines unless utility-qualified crews are involved.
- A certificate of insurance on request
Sent from the insurer, naming you as the certificate holder, before work begins.
- SC811 before any stump grinding
Buried lines are marked before the grinder touches the ground.
- A clean yard
Brush chipped, wood hauled or stacked as agreed, lawn raked and blown, street swept.
How your request is handled
When you send a request or call, we contact you within one business day to confirm the details, look at your photos and, for bigger jobs, book a visit. Then you get a written estimate: what comes down, how it is lowered, the stump, the cleanup and the price. If you go ahead, we schedule the work and the same team sees it through to the cleanup.
Your details stay with us. We use them only to handle your request and never sell them; our privacy policy says so plainly.
For trees on houses, cars or driveways, call (803) 680-4682 and say it is an emergency.
