Take Care of Your Trees

Trees are both utilitarian and aesthetic additions to any yard, garden, or business area. Trees provide fresh air, shade, colors, scents, and even fruits. However, they require good care if you want them to reach their full potential. Disease, pests, parasites, and malnutrition can lead to ugly and unhealthy trees that are liabilities more than assets. If tree care is too confusing, time-consuming, or difficult for you, then consider hiring an ISA-certified arborist from Southern Star Tree to take care of the job.
Our ISA-certified arborists have years of experience and training as well as state-of-the-art equipment. All of this combines to provide you with top-tier tree service in Atlanta. Don’t put your beautiful trees in the hands of amateurs. Call the professionals to make sure your trees reach and maintain their potential. Call Southern Tree Service to schedule your tree care appointment.

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.

Trees are beautiful and useful additions to any garden or yard. It can be difficult to part with them, but sometimes it is best to remove the tree before disaster strikes. Dead, dying, and precarious trees should be removed lest they cause extensive damage and harm to nearby property and pedestrians. Though tree removal is our last resort at Southern Star Tree, it is certainly an option. When other safety management options, such as pruning or disease mitigation, do not work, call Southern Star Tree for an emergency tree removal. Our friendly representatives and ISA-certified arborists are available to take your call, no matter the time of day or the day of the week.

Remove Hazardous and Unwanted Trees

We have all heard of fallen tree accidents. Trees can come crashing down without warning if you are not aware of their condition or their health. Storms, floods, and other natural disasters add additional pressure on trees, but the appropriate measures can keep your tree sturdier in these situations as well. If a tree is found to be too unhealthy to stand, then we recommend that you schedule an Atlanta tree removal as soon as possible to protect property and lives. A precarious tree can come down on a parked car or a pedestrian in the blink of an eye.
Though a falling tree is what we usually think of when we imagine an accident involving a tree, falling branches are more common. Some branches grow too long or decay and diseased at certain points, becoming threats to anything beneath them. If you notice a tree branch growing far over your home, then we recommend that you remove it. Remember, it is better to be safe than to be sorry. If you notice any risky tree branches on your trees, then call Southern Star Tree for tree removal services today.
