When limbs hang low after a storm or roots press against a walkway, you need a plan that protects your property. Southern Star Tree is here to help. If you’re comparing options for a tree company, it’s important to find someone who respects your time and budget. From inspections to emergency tree removal in Atlanta, you can expect a complete tree service that keeps the job site organized and delivers great results. We also help your trees thrive year after year, so your landscape stays strong and beautiful in every season.
Clear Pricing and Quality Service
From the first visit, we focus on clear expectations. We listen to your goals, note any concerns about shade, views, or clearance, and mark utilities as needed. You get a written plan with scope, timeline, and cost. Scheduling is simple. We hold the window we promise and update you if the weather changes the plan. Before we leave, we can walk the site with you to confirm you’re happy with the result. If you want ongoing tree care, we can also set a seasonal plan that prevents bigger problems. And, if you just need one visit, we keep it simple and leave you with a clear record of what we did.
Healthy trees don’t happen by chance. They need the right cuts, healthy soil, and good water flow. We start with a careful on-site walkthrough. We check structure, clearance, bark condition, root flare, and canopy balance. We look at how the sun hits the property and how wind moves between buildings. Then we explain our findings in plain language so you can make confident decisions.
Reliable commercial tree care solutions, including pruning, removal, and maintenance for office parks, HOAs, and business properties. Safety-focused and fully insured.

Sometimes a tree just can’t stay because it’s leaning over a bedroom, uprooting near a gas line, or splitting after a storm. When removal is the right choice, we handle it with care. We set drop zones, protect lawns with mats, and use modern rigging to lower heavy wood safely. If you want the stump gone, we grind it to a depth that fits your plans for sod or planting, then backfill and remove debris if requested. Storm damage can’t wait. Our first priority is securing hanging or broken limbs, then clearing driveways and entrances for safety. We stabilize trees when possible, and if removal is the safest option, we act quickly to protect people and structures.
Healthy landscapes need water control, and unmanaged stormwater can put trees, soil, and properties at risk. Our team inspects retention ponds, drainage channels, and surrounding vegetation to make sure they’re functioning as intended. For ponds and basins, we check inlet and outlet structures, manage sediment buildup, and maintain the plant life that supports filtration and prevents erosion. If heavy rains have caused washouts or flooding near trees, we address both the drainage problem and any damage to the root zone. The goal is to keep your property safe from standing water, protect water quality, and give your trees and landscape a stable, well-drained foundation year-round.
Quality results require skilled people and dependable tools. Our crews maintain trucks, chippers, grinders, and other equipment so they’re safe and ready to go. Training is constant. Climbers practice safe positioning and rescue techniques, ground crews manage ropes and chippers efficiently, and everyone follows strict saw-handling rules. We wear the right protective gear and follow industry best practices for every task. We know that the small details matter, so we also plan access routes to protect lawns and irrigation, and we keep noise and dust as low as possible.

Had the pleasure working with Clay Smith in discussing best course of action for several huge oaks near the house. His suggestions were less expensive than cutting down trees which is what I thought I wanted. Then Alex and his crew did an incredible job knocking out the big projects and many smaller ones. When they left all that remained was the Bobcat tracks and some sawdust. Could not be happier to have found Southern Star. Highly recommend.
I had a very tall, old sweet gum tree in my backyard that I needed removed due to a new fence being put in. Austin and his team were prompt, professional, and friendly and did a great job safely removing the tree and cleaning up after themselves. I highly recommend their services!
Southern Star Tree Services did a great job and they made sure I was fully satisfied with a second trip out to my Fairburn property! As a REALTOR® I can be very picky, they exceeded my expectations and got the job done same day. I will definitely refer them to my clients and friends for future services.
Southern Star Tree removed several of our trees and did an outstanding job. They were punctional and arrived promptly when scheduled. They were clear during the fee estimate process and they provided fair and knowledgeable quotes. They were honest when assessing which trees should be removed and which shouldn’t be. They also were very careful not to damage our yard or landscape. I highly recommend them for your tree cutting needs.
Austin Reed's guys did a great job- we had 7 guys working on 4 trees. I spent a lot of time with them pointing out limbs I needed trimmed etc. They were very polite, hard workers, and the place was spotless when they finished. Outstanding service!
I can’t Say enough or give any more positive feedback than what I can write down, but I wish I could. This company is amazing and Michael is such a gem. His team brought two different crews to cut down 13 massive trees in incredibly difficult positions on our property. They started in the rain and had the entire project done in two days. The communication and customer service was incredible, and the emotional support was even better…On Two separate occasions, Mike had to talk my husband and me down from panic attack attacks. He was absolutely wonderful. He kept reiterating to us that if anything got damaged on the property, the company would fix it. He even knew that we had just put down $1000 worth of fresh pine straw, so his team replaced the pine straw in the area that was affected. They did a fantastic job of cleaning up the entire property from any debris from the project. The pricing is incredibly fair and competitive. We hope we don’t need Southern Star anytime soon ?, that would mean more trees have to go, but if we were to need to in the future we will absolutely be calling Mike.
Austin and his team did an absolutely incredible job removing a partially fallen tree in our backyard that required deft coordination and extreme care to ensure it was carefully extracted without damaging a critical part of our property's structure. They took immense effort at every stage to optimize the success of the operation and it went extremely smoothly. We are forever grateful to them for how well it went and couldn't recommend them more highly to anyone looking for tree removal.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy to remove a large white oak that overhangs the house. With a house built on a steep pitch and the tree 80' feet or more from the street, it wasn't IF a crane was needed, but WHAT crane will do the job. The company owner, Austin, has a terrific working knowledge of available cranes. I'm saying this as a descendant of my grandfather who holds the patent for the modern crane out of the Manitowoc company. The crew showed up just as the rain was starting, but didn't flinch and worked through the wet and windy morning. It was cleaner when they finished than the amount of debris I can usually expect from the tree during a storm. I took bids from 3 other companies and Southern Star Tree was not the lowest nor the highest; but his crew is as competent and professional as company with the highest quote I received. I have needed tree service involving cranes several times in the 30 years I have been at my current residence and I would recommend Southern Star Tree for anyone in need of tree service. My only regret is that I couldn't sit and watch the entire process due to the rain. The company carries $5M of liability insurance in case there is a problem--probably very few claims, if any, against it.
