  • Tree Removal Determination

Before removing a tree or doing major pruning, it’s best to have the experts at Georgia Tree Pro survey the situation and recommend a course of action to handle the problem and not disrupt other areas of your yard.  Some circumstances demand special equipment to ensure the safe removal of the tree or limbs as well as the safety of the person cutting the tree.  There may be impact to a neighboring yard as well; something that needs to be thought through prior to using a chain saw.

Georgia Tree Pro can walk you through the issues and options of your tree problem and in doing the job, will make sure you never have to say that four letter word (oops!).

  • Tree Removal

There are many reasons a tree may need to be removed from your property.  Customers usually call for the obvious:  the tree is dead or dying.   Perhaps there is the case where the tree is in the way of new construction? Also, over time, a tree could have grown too close to the house, has become hazardous and needs to come down.  Over-growth could also have an effect on some of the neighboring trees, stunting their growth.  If so, perhaps it needs to be replaced with another specimen, one that suits the overall environment?  Sometimes it a simple matter of the overall aesthetics of your landscape.  For example, that Red Oak you planted looked great when it was 10-12 feet tall.  Now, at 25-30 feet, it’s taken over the whole yard and looks out of place.

Georgia Tree Pro experts have handled all these situations and more.   There are easy fixes and some more complex.  Let them talk you through the options and get you the look and feel you want before simply cutting down your tree.

  • Tree Planting

Dig a hole; put in some water; drop in the plant; cover with soil; fertilize; water as needed.  That pretty much sums up what the local nursery will tell you to do.  When you’re talking about planting trees, there is so much more to consider. 

Our crews are experienced in the planting of many species of hardwood trees, conifers, and shrubbery.  They’ll work to fully compact the soil after plantings and mirror the drainage pattern of the property to what it was prior to planting the trees.  They’ll ensure an adequate hole is dug and it’s filled with new growth planting material and fertilizer before ever setting the tree.  After loosening the root wrap and spreading the roots, they’ll get your concurrence on the exact position and rotate the current growth to your liking, all the while mentioning what growth you can expect from the specimen in the coming years.

In all, it’s another advantage to using professionals that are schooled in the latest techniques of tree and shrubbery care.

  • Pruning and Shaping

The saying goes that a pruned tree is a happy tree.  True enough, timely professional pruning enhances the look and health of the tree.  Our crews look at the overall needs of the tree.  We eliminate any branches that rub each other and limbs that interfere with wires, facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, and windows.  We also prune to proper heights around streets and sidewalks.  Any disease or insect-infested limbs are noted and removed.  Once pruning is completed, the tree will be appropriately treated.

There is also the need to coordinate pruning for equal results of visual effect and proper growth.  Improving the shape and silhouette can be done by thinning and removing unnecessary branches.  Done properly, this will allow penetration of light to promote rounded growth and give a healthy, robust appearance.

So make your trees happy campers by having a Georgia Tree Pro professional prune away!   

 

  • Canopy Raising and Crown Lifting

Large, low branches are fine for trees growing in parks or other open landscapes.  In urban and suburban settings, low branches may be undesirable as they interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic.  Left unchecked, lower branches allowed to grow may become problematic and affect the long term health of the tree.

    • Canopy lifting or raising should be performed on young and medium-aged trees.  This prevents low branches from growing to a large diameter as well as removing limbs to provide adequate clearance for pedestrians and vehicles
    • Crowning shortens low branches and suppresses their growth forcing more growth to branches in the upper reaches of the tree.  This method is done in most suburban neighborhoods until there is a need for under-clearance of the shortened branches

Both techniques are use by Georgia Tree Pro to provide an environment with fully-developed safe and healthy trees.  It’s a look that’s long-lasting and an appearance that will be the envy of neighbors.

  • Stump Grinding

Not only are stumps an eye sore, they can become a nest for unwanted pests like carpenter ants or termites.  Even a ground-level stump should be taken down to prevent pest inhabitation and possible sprouting.  Georgia Tree Pro utilizes specialized equipment to grind stumps or roots 6-12 inches below grade level.  The holes can be backfilled with the resulting chip debris or filled flush with top soil.  This additional step to the process makes a big difference in the overall look of tree removal.

  • Disease Control

During initial inspection, a certified ISA arborist will determine the steps necessary to treat diseased or pest-infested trees and shrubbery.  With an agreement to proceed, Georgia Tree Pro will take the steps necessary to address the problem.  Using only approved chemicals and proven processes, a controlled application program will be instituted and monitored over time.     

  • Lightening Protection Systems

Lightening strikes are unpredictable and hazardous.  Every year, thousands of trees are damaged or destroyed by lightening strikes.  While large, stand alone trees are most vulnerable, structures and property inside adjacent buildings can be affected by lightening, too.  To limit potential damage, lightening rods have been used to reduce the possibility of damage.  The professionals at Georgia Tree Pro can install a lightening protection system to reduce potential damage from a lightening strike. 

  • Emergency Tree Care

When storms happen and trees fall due to lightening or high winds, Georgia Tree Pro is ready to help.  Should a limb fall on a section of the house in the middle of the night, Georgia Tree Pro is a telephone call away.  The company is available and on-call 7-days a week, 24-hours a day.  We have experience in helping local and national agencies in times of need.  Recent hurricane, tornado, and flood disasters had Georgia Tree Pro crews working for weeks to clear areas of damaged or fallen trees.  

When a tree falls and is of concern, you may have other things to worry about:  your family, neighbors, loss of personal property, etc.  Let a crew from Georgia Tree Pro take care of the trees, shrubbery, and landscape.  You have more important things to do!

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

 

  • Landscape Consultation

You may be considering a change to the look and feel of your property.  Whether existing or new construction, Georgia Tree Pro has the hand-ons experience to recommend a certain topology and plantings to make your yard take on a whole new look.  Depending on the existing features soil could be simply moved around, added, or taken away.  New areas could be added for annuals, perennials, or even a water feature.  The possibilities are almost endless and will make your yard that unique, special place you’ve always wanted.

  • Soil Compacting and Drainage

When trees are fully removed from the ground, the surrounding soil may disrupt the natural drainage of the property.  Moreover, the soil may be loose, now devoid of the stump and large roots.  This could cause depressions in the earth that pool essential minerals or cause them to be swept away in drainage.  The soil needs to be compacted with an eye to the natural drainage of the land.  Georgia Tree Pro experts can ensure the soil stays in place and drains properly.  There’s no need to have half your yard pool dirt and water up against the house or across the neighbor’s driveway. 

  • Firewood

Being in the tree business, Georgia Tree Pro has access to a variety of wood for use in your fireplace or fire pit.  Seasoned, ready-to-burn split logs of Oak, Poplar, Maple, and other species can be delivered to your property.  These logs are standard cut and stacked for your immediate use.
