Tree Removal and Planting

• Tree Removal
  Tree removal is a highly technical, yet delicate, task and requires highly qualified professionals, like those at Southland. Tree removals address health, liability, and aesthetics and enable competing species to develop and mature. In certain instances, you may have to remove a tree that is alive if it is interfering with other trees, buildings, driveways, or utility wires.
• Stump Grinding and Removal
  In most urban and suburban landscapes presents a challenge. Trees in neighborhoods often are surrounded by other valuable plantings or structures. Tree removals, especially for large trees, require careful dismantling by highly trained personnel utilizing state-of-the-art machinery to ensure your safety and the protection of your home and property. The use of specialized equipment during tree removals is determined by the conditions on your landscape, branch architecture, and the soundness of your tree. A standard tree removal includes taking down a tree, chipping all brush, cutting all wood into 20" logs, and cutting the stumps as flush as possible to the ground. Wood will be stacked at or near the base of the tree. We also can provide stump removal and wood disposal services.

  Can be avoided in some cases, particularly when your Southland arborist determines that there is a safe and reasonable alternative available that will allow you to keep your beloved tree. Proactive tree service and maintenance is the best way to ensure the longevity of your trees and shrubs. Cabling and bracing create artificial support to structurally weak or injured trees and branches. These supports help to prevent injuries to your trees, such as crotch and branch failure, and help to provide protection against storm damage. This practice may extend the life and well-being of feature trees.

  Each type is the result of a complex and interactive mix of tree problems and climate, and each type needs to be examined by a qualified professional.  In Atlanta we have between 50 and 70 days of thunderstorms every year, and you can imagine the kind of a toll those severe wind, hail, and lightning storms take on a tree.  Trees are generally tough and built to be resilient, however even the largest, oldest tree can reach a point where it is beyond healing.  At Southland Tree Service we do everything in our power to save trees when possible, but we also realize that the safety of your family and the protection of your property come first!  If you suspect lightning damage, wind damage, or if you have twisted or loose, hanging limbs on any of the trees near your house, or on your property, you need to call a certified Atlanta Arborist and tree removal expert to give you a free consultation and free estimate if necessary!
