Michael came out to evaluate some trees I had with a questionable fungus on them, and ultimately the course of action was removal for a select few. He got me an estimate for the removal within a matter of days. They had the most competitive prices out of the other estimates I got. Michael is a very knowledgeable Arborist and you can tell he is passionate about his work. He wasn't pushy at all about the removal like some of the other companies I had come out, and he advised me on doing it in "phases" to fit my budget. The actual tree removal and stump grinding itself was so smooth and all the workers that came with the crane and stump service were very professional and communicative about what the process was going to be.
Efficient, Affordable, and Professional what more can you ask for in a company. I had a big tree in my yard that needed to be cut down. From the estimate from Michael and the actual job being performed by his crew, everything was satisfactory. Including the clean-up. They’re also licensed and insured so that made selecting for the job even more comfortable. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service for your tree removal.
We love trees as much as the next person, but we'll be the first to say that some trees are better off gone. Suddenly-leaning trees, overgrown branches, and hollowed trunks are just some of the reasons to remove a tree as soon as possible. It's not just about imbalance in aesthetics; it's more about safety and security.
Let’s face it, though: nobody wants to cut down a tree in their yard. But when a tree becomes a hazard, keeping it around is like ignoring a ticking time bomb. Here's how to know when it's time to make that tough call.
If you’d rather have a professional from a reputable tree company come and investigate, then contact Driscoll Tree Service to hire a uniformed member of our team. Driscoll is licensed and insured, and we are proud to serve the Metro Atlanta area.
It’s natural for trees to lean a little bit, especially if they’re in a shady area and grow toward the sunlight. However, if the tree is leaning at 15 degrees or more, or if it’s suddenly tilting, then you’ve got a red flag to deal with.
Trees lean suddenly for serious reasons. Maybe the roots got damaged during recent construction, or the soil is washing away after heavy rains. Maybe last week's storm was rougher on your tree than you thought. Whatever the cause, a sudden lean means the tree is losing its ability to support itself.
The next storm could send thousands of pounds of wood crashing onto your roof, car, or fence. When you spot this problem, a tree removal should be at the top of your to-do list.
A dead tree doesn't care what it falls on. It doesn't wait for a convenient time. It just falls, and it could land anywhere. But how do you tell if a tree is actually dead or just sleeping through winter? Check for these telltale signs:
Here's a quick test: scratch a small spot on a branch. If you see green underneath, then the tree is alive. If it's brown and dry all the way through, then that tree has passed on and it’s time to call a reputable tree company.
Sometimes trees just get too big for where they're growing. Overgrown branches create multiple problems.
They dump debris in your gutters, scratch your roof shingles, and give squirrels an express route into your attic. Underground, the roots might be cracking your foundation or clogging your sewer lines.
When a tree outgrows its space, you have two choices: constant maintenance battles or tree removal that solves the problem permanently.
Trees get sick, they attract destructive pests, and they suffer injuries that never fully heal. Strange growths on the bark, leaves that turn weird colors, and sticky sap oozing from cracks are just some warning signs.
Diseased trees don't just suffer alone. They can spread their problems to every other tree in your yard. One sick tree can turn into a yard full of dying trees if you don't act.
At Driscoll Tree Service, we understand that deciding to remove a tree isn't easy. That's why our licensed and insured team is here to help you make the right choice for your property and your safety.
We expend every option before resorting to a removal. If tree service like pruning and trimming doesn’t help, then we’ll employ the final option: tree removal.
Still have questions or concerns? Call or message Driscoll to consult with an experience tree care professional or arborist. We’re happy to schedule an appointment or urgent dispatch for as soon as possible.
