🚨 Emergency tree work happens after something goes wrong.
🌳 Preventative tree work helps reduce the chances of something going wrong.
While no one can predict exactly what a storm will do, removing dead trees, reducing excessive weight, and addressing structural defects can significantly reduce risk.
The best emergency call is the one that never has to happen.

🌳 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤!
Did you know Columbia has lost 22% of its tree canopy over the past 18 years? That’s something worth paying attention to.
We LOVE seeing programs like 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 – 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞, which gives qualifying homeowners 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 to plant on their property and help bring back the canopy in our community.
And this one is personal for us—we’ve taken advantage of the program ourselves and planted free trees on our own property!
As a tree service company, we know that sometimes trees need to come down—but we also believe strongly in 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩.
We’re so thankful for this wonderful opportunity and for everyone working to make Columbia a greener, cooler place to live.

We’re a little late posting about it because, rather than immediately celebrating the award, we’ve been focused on something we feel is even more important — 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬.
We’ve spent the last several weeks sharing information about storm & emergency services, insurance, and what homeowners should look for (and watch out for) when getting quotes from tree service companies.
Because being recognized as one of South Carolina’s best is an honor — but earning your trust is what matters most.

𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐀 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐲!
Recently, a customer shared a wonderful review about Tip Top Tree Service on Nextdoor, and several other people chimed in with their own positive experiences and recommendations. Seeing our customers speak so highly of our crew and our work truly means the world to us. ❤️
Unfortunately, the conversation also brought up something we hate to see—a homeowner sharing a negative experience they had with another tree company. And honestly, we wish every single homeowner could have a great experience with their tree service, even if that company isn’t Tip Top.
When a tree company is unreliable, leaves a mess behind, doesn’t communicate, or fails to finish the job properly, it doesn’t just hurt that customer—it can make people question the entire tree service industry.
We are incredibly proud to be one of the 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, and we want to continue growing so we can reach even more homeowners who need honest, professional tree care.
So, if Tip Top Tree Service has helped you, 𝐰𝐞’𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭!

🚨 𝐀 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐏𝐒𝐀 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 “𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄” 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐒…
For a few dollars, 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 can buy a list of “tree service leads.” Qualified or not. Legitimate company or not. Licensed and insured or not.
𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 #𝟏: This is an actual text Joseph and I receive on a regular basis asking if we’re interested in purchasing more tree leads.
Notice something interesting? They used my maiden name… and we’ve been married for over 4 years.
Which got me thinking — if the company selling these leads doesn’t even have my updated name, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨?
𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 #𝟐: A recent text a customer received — and thankfully, he sent it to me so we could have a little laugh together. He had already blocked the number and reported it as spam when I asked him to see if he could find out the name of the company.
𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 #𝟑: Naturally, my nosy/curious self wanted to know exactly who this “local tree company” was. So I asked the very simple questions any homeowner should ask:
𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐝? 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝?
And suddenly… 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄.
That brings me to the bigger point.
The SAME thing applies to those catchy postcards, flyers and advertisements you receive in the mail. They may have a great discount, a professional-looking design, and say “LOCAL TREE COMPANY” in big letters.
But please remember: 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 Seeing a company’s name on a flyer, getting a text, or receiving a mailer does NOT automatically mean that company is legitimate, licensed, insured, experienced, or even actually local.
𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐰.
Check their reviews. Check their credentials. Ask for proof of insurance. Ask if they are properly licensed. And don’t be afraid to ask questions!
And of course, we’d absolutely love the opportunity to provide you with an estimate before you make your final decision. ❤️
I can’t promise we’ll always be the 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭 — and honestly, you should probably be a little concerned if that’s the only thing a tree company is competing on.
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨.
When it comes to your home, property and some very large pieces of wood hanging over them… 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩.
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭.

Not every tree is a storm hazard — but some conditions increase the risk.
⚠️ Keep an eye out for:
• Trees with multiple trunks (especially with weak unions)
• Large dead branches (“widow makers”)
• Hollow or decaying areas
• Root damage or exposed roots
• Trees growing at a noticeable lean
• Overgrown limbs pressing against your roof
Storm damage often happens because a hidden problem becomes a major failure during high winds.
A professional tree assessment can identify issues before Mother Nature does. Call Tip Top Tree Service today for your free evaluation and estimate.
