Rooted in York County: The Smarr's Tree & Stump Service Story
A locally owned tree company built by hands-on crews who know York County's soil, storms, and neighborhoods. Our roots run deep in this community.
Our Story: Built on York County Roots
Smarr's Tree & Stump Service started with a simple goal: give homeowners and property owners across York County a tree care company they could actually trust. What began as a small crew handling dead tree removal and tree pruning for neighbors around York, SC grew steadily as word spread about the quality of the work and the honesty behind it.
Over the years, we've expanded into a full-service tree removal contractor, but the mission has stayed the same. We show up when we say we will, we do the job right the first time, and we treat every yard like it's our own.
Today, our crews serve homeowners from Lake Wylie to Blacksburg, Tirzah to McConnell, and every community in between. We've watched this region grow, and we've grown right alongside it, one tree at a time. From routine tree trimming to emergency storm cleanup, our work covers whatever your trees need.
Our Mission and the Values Behind Every Job
Our mission is straightforward: deliver dependable tree services with the kind of workmanship that keeps customers calling us back for years. We're not the biggest tree cutting company in South Carolina, and we don't try to be. We'd rather be the one homeowners in York County actually trust.

J Brooks 3 years ago Had a dead pine tree that we were concerned would fall and block the road in our neighborhood. Called John and he came by and took a look and gave us a very fair quote. Within days it was gone. Things that stood out to me are: he answered the phone (too many companies don’t anymore), he gave a very fair quote, he was not hard to reach by text, he let me know when he was coming and took a picture and let me know when he was done, and lastly he did a great job. Too many times lately when you need something done it’s a struggle and once done you would never use them again. Not with Smarr’s Tree Service, I highly recommend them.
