"Holly Forest Tree Service did a large project for me to include trimming out trees so they would not hit the house in one of these high-wind storms, thinning out two huge monkey pine trees, trimming bushes, removing a small tree, and removing a huge old walnut tree. The reason for removing the walnut tree was it was starting to rot in the middle and I was afraid it would fall onto the small one-way bridge located right next to it and cause severe damage. This bridge is the only ingress and egress for several homes in the neighborhood and having the bridge out of service for even one day would be a nightmare for a lot of people. The workers did not mess around and they worked from the time they got here until the time they left (with a short lunch period). I never saw them sitting idly by or stopping to chat or talk on their cell phone. They have a strong work ethic and did an exemplary clean up job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for tree service."

"I had 2 very large dead trees near the house I needed cut down. They had to fall in a direction so as not to hit the house or fall on my neighbors property. Connor brought them down quickly and with them fallen where we had agreed they were safe to fall. His prices are very reasonable and he is very professional. I would recommend him for any tree work."

"I was impressed from the time Jose visited my home, understood what needed to be done and prepared a complete estimate. This was a tricky and labor intense job. Few people wanted to take it on and I was very worried if we would ever find a way to get the work done the way it should be. The cost was fair and successfully completed, as scheduled. I am thankful I found them, called and worked with them. They exceeded our expectations! Thank you Jose and Georgia Waterproofing and Tree Service!"

"Guillermo and his crew did a wonderful job completing the three projects I needed done. They expertly fixed my sliding glass doors on 2 of my bathtubs. They also power washed my entire downstairs patio that had accumulated a ton of pollen/mold over the years. My patio was sparkling and ready for guests afterwards. They also fixed my front screen door so it could close properly. I would hire this business in a New York second if I ever needed repair work done again in my home."

"Donovan and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They did a great job adding some decorative drainage rock around our driveway to keep the asphalt from deteriorating, and some river rocks around our garden beds. Give them a shout if you’re in the area looking for a good company."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.
