The Time to Plant a Tree is Now!

The Time to Plant a Tree is Now!

Like this great proverb, Atlanta Tree Professionals believes that the time to plant trees is now.  Yes, we remove trees, but our main goal is to help keep your trees healthy and only remove them when they absolutely need to go.  In fact, each time we have to remove a tree, Atlanta Tree Professionals will plant a new one in its place.

Many people think that the fall is the end of the planting season, but did you know that the best time to plant trees and shrubs in Atlanta is actually November through March?  In places where there are colder winters, earlier in the fall is best.  There are many reasons planting trees and shrubs during the fall/winter is beneficial:

1.     Planting in the fall gives the root system time to grow.  During the winter, the roots develop and become established, which allows the tree to have more support during spring growth and the heat of summer.

2.     The cooler, wetter weather means less watering is needed.

3.     Stable air temperatures promote rapid root growth and development.

4.     The soil is less damp than it is in the spring, which creates more stability for roots.

5.     When you choose a tree or shrub to plant in the fall, you are able to see the color that they will produce.

Even though the temperatures are cold, you must remember that the soil stays warm well after the air has cooled.  Even so, balled and burlap-wrapped trees and shrubs will do best.  Also, you want to make sure to avoid planting broad-leaf evergreens in the fall, such as azaleas, boxwoods and hollies.  These will not do as well. Some great trees to plant in the fall/winter are maples, buckeyes, ash, spruce and elms. Bare root plants, such as roses, pecans and fruit trees should be planted in late winter when they are completely dormant. 

Atlanta Tree Professionals wants to help keep Atlanta and the metro area looking beautiful and we believe that it is done by keeping tree healthy and planting new ones. We hope that you are able to get out and plant a tree this fall or winter! If you need help making sure those trees stay healthy give us a call!

Stop Eating My Trees

Stop Eating My Trees!

In addition to tree removal services in the metro Atlanta area, Atlanta Tree Professionals also offers tree treatment for insects.  Did you know that insects pollinate around 80% of trees and bushes?  Although some of those insects are beneficial to trees, there are about thirty species of insects that contribute to the decline of trees in the U.S.

Damaging insects are grouped by the kind of damage that they cause on certain parts of the tree.  Those groups are:

• Defoliators or leaf eaters.  These include moths, aphids and caterpillars.
• Beetles and borers.  These insects consume or breed inside a tree’s bark and wood.  They also consume the tree’s seeds so new trees can’t grow.
• Fruit insect pests.  These insects rot the fruit growing on trees.  Moths, maggots, flies, leaf rollers and fruit worms are all part of this group.

Most common to our region are Pine Tree Beetles, Ambrosia beetles and carpenter ants.  

If you are worried that your tree(s) might have an insect infestation, look for these signs:

• Sawdust around base of the tree
• Chunks of canopy missing
• Big bubbles of sap on the tree
• Small holes in the tree (they can be smaller than a penny)
• Dropping limbs

Insects are less likely to attack healthy trees, but already damaged or newly planted trees will be more susceptible to an infestation.  So what is the best way to protect your trees from bugs?  Prevention!  Atlanta Tree Professionals can help with that by providing annual treatment of trees for insect control, identifying branch, trunk and root defects that may weaken a tree and recommending ways to manage them, removing dead or defective branches, correcting problems caused by improper care practices that have occurred in the past, pruning to make the tree safer and healthier and crown reduction that reduces the risk of tree failure for large trees located near buildings.

If you believe one or more of your trees are infested or if you want to prevent future infestations, give us a call and we’ll make sure those pests stop eating your trees!  The month of June is free tree assessment month, so give us a call and we’ll come assess your trees at no cost!  We service the Atlanta and metro Atlanta areas.  Call us today at (404) 644-8733.

Tornado Damage Atlanta Storms 06/13/13

Atlanta had some incredible tree damage last week due to crazy storms. As you can imagine there has been some serious tree removal Atlanta going on.

Here is a shot of the 2 EF1 tornados path as they ripped through Cherokee County, Cobb County and Fulton County from the National Weather Service for the storms that passed through Georgia from June 13, 2013.

Atlanta Tree Professionals got a call at 6am that next morning after one family came out to see there was not one but two trees on their house. Here is a video interview/customer tree testimonial of her experience with Atlanta Tree Professionals.

We worked in Dunwoody that day and East Cobb. In Dunwoody they had 30 trees down in one cul de sac!

As you can imagine we have tons of woodchips.
Go to our website to see out how to get on the schedule for your free woodchips Atlanta.

Winds of Spring Down Trees Bring

Winds of Spring 
Down Trees Bring

Is that a haiku? No.

But it is the truth. Spring, she just...rolls in.

And this year, Atlanta Tree Professionals welcomes her.

The gray and cloudy winter 2012/2013 of Atlanta was darker than usual, wouldn't you agree?

Those few hours when yellow would appear, the crews and I would smile back as if welcoming an old friend.

Give me the splendid silent sun
with all his beams full-dazzling.

In fact, here is an actual review from a customer B. Brand recently.

"Atlanta Tree Professionals is a top-notch company that clearly has the best interests of the customers and the trees at heart. They very knowledgeably guided me through decisions about trimming versus removal, and how to best use trees to maintain property value. Their advice was clearly based on preserving and improving the health of trees, not just what made them the most money. On the trimming, they were nothing short of artists, transforming trees I originally just wanted removed. On the removal of my 120-foor popular, you could tell how much that safety was of paramount importance. The crew I had have been together for a long time, and it showed in how they worked together and watched out for each other. I’d put that crew up against any other! I can highly recommend this company for their expertise and service."
