"For the second time in a few days Silver Axe once again proved to be the best!! A freak tree fall damaged some other under story foliage in the process. Your crew once more came for a preliminary look, got me a good quote, came back as promised [twice!!] until the trees were removed, the area picked up, and everything was gone through the grinder. Capable, courteous, committed employees ensured that the job was done to my satisfaction. Looking forward to next time!!"

"Jaime Alvarez and his crew at Silver Axe Tree Services did an excellent job of tree removal of several large trees. Jaime is a certified tree arborist, walked our property with my husband, and gave recommendations as to tree removal or not. The Silver Axe crew also ground stumps and trimmed branches on our remaining trees. They were punctual, professional, and did a great job cleaning up. They removed several large trees close to our power line. I highly recommend them for tree services."

"I have several batches of tree removal for the past years. Mora Tree Service is by far the best. The crew came, cut trees, and clean up the part of yard where tree service is rendered. I would definitely hire them again in the future."

"This company did an excellent job on a large project. I had about 10 trees removed and multiple trees trimmed. They were prompt, knowledgeable, professional and courteous and finished the job in 1 day. I had received a quote from another company and they said it would take 3 days and their bid was $3000 higher and wasn't as comprehensive as Southeast Tree proposal. I would recommend them highly to anyone considering tree work."

"I have to say, Greg & his team were phenomenal. They took out 40+ red tips for us (I think it ended up being 45) in ONE day. It was incredible. Great work, great team, and great price. I'd hands-down recommend using him. We'll definitely be using him again (we live in a wooded lot) and have already been recommending him & his team to our neighbors and friends.
Really, stop looking / price shopping here and call Greg / Little Bear Tree Service. His prices are great, he's extremely professional, and timely. We had that good of an experience with using him & his company.
(I should note - I realize this sounds like an overly glowing review. It's actually our real experience and we'd definitely hire them again. We've used other tree services in the past, and I was/still am just really impressed by Greg and his crew)
(Other side note - we did get them some cold waters/gatorades as it was a lot of work. They really appreciated it!! I'd suggest doing the same as it's hot out there! They did our work in late July!)

"The team at Tree Surgeon Atlanta were wonderful! There were prompt, professional and kind. We had two large trees near our house that needed to go due to termite damage and rotting. They were careful and strategic with their process. The trees were taken down and removed within a few hours. Thank you all so much for taking care of us!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
