Columbia, SC · Since 2014
Linwood Bovain grew up in Old Shandon. He knows these streets, these trees, and these neighborhoods. He started working in tree care right out of school and spent years learning from other local companies in the Columbia area.
In 2014, he started Elite Tree Removal of Columbia. He wanted to do the work his way -- show up on time, be straight with people, and take care of the community he grew up in. That's still how we operate.
We provide a full range of tree services in and around Columbia, SC, such as tree removal, stump grinding, tree trimming and pruning, preservation, tree cabling, and mulching. No matter what you need done, especially in an emergency, we will bring safe and effective results.
Before anyone on our crew picks up a tool, everyone on site knows the plan. That includes our clients. Tree removal can be dangerous. We walk you through the timeframe, the risks, and the high-risk areas before we start. No surprises.
We move our equipment with care. Every step is planned to keep people and property safe. When the job is done, we clean up completely -- no debris left behind, no mess for you to deal with.
From the first call to the final cleanup, you'll know exactly what to expect. What we quote is what you pay.
We run a crew of 5 to 10 people depending on the job. Bigger removals and storm work call for more hands -- we scale up when the situation needs it. Nobody steps on site without knowing the job and what's expected of them.

Linwood Bovain launched Elite Tree Removal of Columbia -- a company built on showing up on time, being straight with people, and caring for the community he grew up in.
Expanded across Forest Acres, Cayce, West Columbia, and the greater Midlands. Built a crew of experienced professionals, each one vetted before they step on any job site.
Fast storm response was one of the things Linwood felt was missing when he started this company. We formalized 24/7 emergency service and made it a core promise.
Still locally owned. Still led by Linwood. Serving just about every part of Columbia -- from Lexington to Blythewood, Oak Grove to Eastover.
Large removals take planning. A big oak or pine near a house, fence, or driveway has to come down in sections -- in the right order, with the right equipment. We've done hundreds of these across Columbia and the Midlands.
Some properties have three, five, or ten trees that all need to come down. That's a different kind of job. It takes the right crew size, a clear plan, and a clean way to get everything out without tearing up the yard.
After a storm, Columbia can be a mess fast. Downed trees, broken limbs, blocked driveways. We respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fast storm response was one of the things Linwood felt was missing -- we've made it a priority ever since.
Our crew of 5 to 10 -- scaled to the job. Every one of them knows what's expected before they set foot on site.
Elite Tree Removal saved me a lot of headache after my tree started tipping after a storm. Luckily they came by before the old oak fell on my home. They were quick and made me feel safe and comfortable with the process!
I cannot thank these young men enough. I live by myself now and arbor and garden maintenance has been hard for me, as I've gotten older. They came over and took a few trees down the same day I called. Real professionals.
My wife and I noticed a few trees on our property that were rotting. Marcus and his team showed up on time and diagnosed the trees in question. They were able to save two and remove the other three safely. Thank you!
