Live Oak & Mature Tree Preservation

Why are live oak trees so special?

Live Oak and Mature Tree Preservation

Draped with Spanish moss and strong spreading branches, the live oak is an icon of the Lowcountry with great historical significance. 

Native Americans used its acorns as a dietary staple, the Spaniards used its wood to make coal and gunpowder, and in the 18th and 19th centuries ship builders used the odd angled branches to make special joints.

The irregular shapes of the live oak’s branches are not suitable for cutting into lumber and consequently many live oaks were spared during times of intense timber harvesting practices.


This is why you will typically find that live oaks are much older than the surrounding trees in the modern day Lowcountry landscape. Nowadays, the live oak’s greatest contribution is to provide us with its shade and beauty.

Cox Tree Service specializes in the care and preservation of live oak trees and all mature trees by providing science based health care practices.

Customers have the option to participate in a unique maintenance and monitoring program that includes regular inspections by our ISA certified staff members.
