Tip Top Tree Service of Midlands keeps yards and properties safe, clean, and healthy. From tree trimming to storm damage cleanup, our crew shows up ready to work.
Built on Experience
A Local Tree Service Company Built on Experience
Tip Top Tree Service of Midlands has spent over 10 years handling tree care services for homeowners and businesses across the region. Founder Joseph Thomas leads the crew with a background that includes more than four years working alongside the Federal Emergency Management Agency, giving our team hands-on experience with the kind of large-scale storm cleanup most tree companies never see.
That FEMA background shapes how we run every job, not just the emergencies. Whether it's a single oak that needs pruning in a Hopkins backyard or a multi-acre lot that needs clearing before construction, we bring the same discipline and safety standards to the work.
We split our time between residential tree services for homeowners and commercial tree services for property managers, HOAs, and businesses throughout Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, and the surrounding Midlands towns. That mix keeps our crew sharp on everything from a small limb removal to a full commercial tree removal project.

Our Services
Tree Care Services for Every Property in the Midlands
Our crew handles the full range of tree work a Midlands property might need in a given year, from a scheduled pruning visit to a same-day emergency call. Below is the full list of services we offer to residential and commercial customers alike.
Every job starts with a straightforward look at the property, a clear explanation of what needs to happen, and a quote you can trust before any chainsaw starts.
Commercial Tree Services
Facilities managers, HOAs, and business owners rely on us for commercial tree maintenance that keeps parking lots, common areas, and entrances looking sharp and hazard-free year round.
Emergency Tree Services
Storms don't check the clock, and neither do we. Our 24 hour tree service covers fallen tree removal, split trunks, and anything blocking a driveway or roof after a bad storm rolls through the Midlands.
Lake Debris Removal
Waterfront and lakefront property owners around the Midlands count on us for lake debris removal, shoreline debris removal, waterfront cleanup, and general lake cleanup services after wind and storms push branches and brush into the water.
Land Clearing
Getting a lot ready for a new build, a driveway, or pasture use takes more than a chainsaw. Our land clearing and lot clearing crews handle brush clearing and vegetation clearing so your site is graded and ready for the next phase.
Stump Removal
A leftover stump is a tripping hazard and an eyesore. We grind and remove stumps of any size so your yard is level, mowable, and ready for new landscaping.
Tree Removal
Dead tree removal, hazardous tree removal, and routine tree removal services all require different approaches depending on the tree's lean, size, and location near structures or power lines. Our crew plans every removal to protect your property first.
Tree Trimming
Regular tree trimming and tree pruning keep limbs away from rooflines, power lines, and walkways while improving the tree's long-term health. We shape trees for safety first and curb appeal second.
Yard & Overgrowth Cleanup
Our property cleanup services cover overgrown yard cleanup, overgrowth cleanup, and general yard cleanup to bring a neglected property back under control. We haul away tree debris removal piles and brush so the yard is usable again.
Scheduled crews, Monday to Saturday Emergency crews on call, 24/7
Residential and Commercial Tree Care, Day or Night
Most of our work comes from homeowners who need tree trimming, removal, or yard cleanup done right the first time. At the same time, we're actively growing our roster of commercial accounts, including golf course tree services and country club tree services where grounds crews need a partner they can call on year round.
Whatever the property type, the response time and quality stay the same.

John MorganFirm did work for our small HOA, and also some personal work for us. Joseph was very patient and attentive in walking through our HOA quote and approval process, and when the work was done, it was executed precisely, on time and with a thorough clean-up. I was especially impressed with the courtesy and professionalism of the Tip Top crew as they performed some pretty detailed pruning for me personally. I highly recommend!

Janelle Jenkins⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend TipTop Tree Service enough! Joseph and Rachel were kind, responsible, and extremely honest. This is the second time I’ve used them, and once again their service was unbelievable. They came late in the day before a storm on the weekend to make sure the job was finished. Their workers were so nice . They treated me like I was the only customer they had, which meant so much. It’s hard to find companies with this level of care and professionalism anymore. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing tree service.
- ★★★★★
Michael StaufferTip Top Tree Service is my first experience in professional tree removal. Tip Top is prompt, polite and professional. I had a quote within a day and my Bradford Pear was removed days ahead of the scheduled date. Joseph and the work crew are polite, work hard fast and did a great clean up.
