"Process: Found three companies via Angie's list and one company through a recommendation. Two companies from Angie's list returned the call. ArborForce was one of the companies. The company offered a valuable service at a competitive price. The team came prepared and was very efficient in their work. They cleaned up the place after they finished. They met my expectations as a tree service."

"From the initial quote to the actual tree removal, the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend Tree Surgeon Atlanta. They are friendly, masters at their trade, and offer top notch services at great prices. Did I mention that they are fast? They dropped 7 trees in my front yard without hitting my house in no time at all. 5 stars!"

"Saddletree is a very professional tree maintenance and removal company. They did a great job removing some very large limbs over our Decatur bungalow. The cost was fair and they did a great job cleaning up the yard. I encourage you to try this new area tree business!"

"Omar was so professional and gave me the best price after doing my research. He was the first person to come look at my tree. I wanted branches cut but he suggested to cut the pine tree which was even better. He cleaned all the branches away. I am very satisfied. I will definitely reach out if I need another tree cut"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.
