As summer winds down and September arrives in Myrtle Beach, homeowners and property managers
begin preparing their landscapes for the cooler months ahead. Between hurricane season, late-summer storms, and the changing needs of trees as they transition into fall, this is one of the most important times of year for professional tree care. At J. Macaluso Tree Service, we’ve been helping Myrtle Beach residents keep their properties safe, beautiful, and healthy since 2016.
Why September Tree Care Matters in Myrtle Beach
September isn’t just another month on the calendar—it’s a transition point for both people and plants. For homeowners, it often means wrapping up summer projects and preparing for the busy fall season. For trees, it’s a period of adjustment as they slow down growth and begin storing energy for winter.
In Myrtle Beach, September also overlaps with the peak of hurricane season. That means one strong storm could send weak or overgrown branches crashing onto homes, vehicles, or power lines. Addressing tree issues now is one of the best ways to prevent costly damage and maintain the safety of your property.
Common September Tree Care Needs
Our team sees a consistent set of needs across Myrtle Beach each September, including:
- Hazardous tree removal: Trees with cracks, rot, or leaning trunks pose a higher risk during storms.
- Tree trimming and pruning: Removing dead or overhanging branches helps prevent storm damage and supports healthy growth.
- Stump grinding and removal: Clearing stumps before winter prevents pests and opens up space for landscaping projects.
- Lot clearing: For construction or property development, late summer and early fall is an ideal time to start with a clean slate.
- Storm damage cleanup: High winds and heavy rain can leave behind debris that needs fast, safe removal.
How We Approach Tree Removal in Myrtle Beach
Tree removal is often necessary when a tree is diseased, damaged, or simply no longer safe to keep on your property. At J. Macaluso Tree Service, we use a combination of modern equipment, including cranes and bucket trucks, and hands-on expertise to remove trees safely and efficiently.
We always prioritize protecting nearby structures, landscaping, and property while performing removals. Whether it’s a small residential job or a large commercial project, our insured crew works with precision and care.
The Importance of Tree Trimming and Pruning
Trimming and pruning are some of the most beneficial services we provide. In September, these services help prepare trees for fall and winter while reducing the risk of storm damage. Proper pruning can:
- Improve tree health by removing diseased or dead limbs
- Reduce safety hazards by eliminating weak or overhanging branches
- Enhance curb appeal by shaping trees and opening up sightlines
- Encourage stronger, more balanced growth for the next season
When done professionally, trimming and pruning extend the life of trees and keep your property looking its best.
Stump Grinding and Removal
Unattended stumps can be more than just an eyesore. They create tripping hazards, attract pests, and interfere with landscaping. Our stump grinding service removes stumps below ground level, leaving a smooth, safe surface. For customers who need complete root removal, our stump removal service clears the entire base, allowing full use of the space.
Storm Preparation and Cleanup
Myrtle Beach residents know that September storms can be unpredictable. Our emergency services are designed to address both preparation and aftermath.
Preparation: Trimming weak branches and removing at-risk trees reduces the chance of damage.
Cleanup: After a storm, we respond quickly to remove fallen trees, clear debris, and restore safety to your property.
By addressing issues before storms hit, you reduce the risk of emergency calls and protect your investment.
Lot Clearing for Fall Projects
