"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!"

"We received a quote that was very fair and decided to go with them, based on conversations with the owner, who arrived at our residence shortly after we requested a quote. The crew arrived the next day and did a great job of trimming our junipers and two ornamental trees. They cleaned up all the debris from shrubs and trees, and left the property spotless. We are most likely going to have several trees taken down within the next month or two, and we will again contact this company to give us another quote for this work. We highly recommend Indigo Tree Service for any type of tree or shrub trimming, and feel confident we’ll get the same professional service when it’s time to have the trees removed."

"I started by putting my information online for my project. Preston had called me within minutes of submitting my request. I wanted him to install sod, told him I wanted to hurry because fall was coming soon. He droveTo my home very next morning, told me exactly what I needed. Put my order in that very day and my job was completed within that week. These guys had to do a lot of hard work to even get my yard ready for sod. The result was so beautiful I canâ t even believe it is the same place! They also charged me very little money to clear out huge amount of trees on the side of my property. I was very impressed with the amount of work and quality of work that I got for the price that I got. I highly recommend these guys, they seem to be very interested in treating people very fairly"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.
