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.
I had a large oak tree taken down near power lines and an outdoor kitchen. I was well informed about the work they were going to do and how long it should take. The team was professional, fast and dropped the tree safely. They used a bucket truck and climber to trim branches from the top half of the tree with no damage to the yard around the tree. I am extremely pleased with Driscoll Tree service work.
Many property owners appreciate and love their trees but must notice the potential danger some trees present. Research shows that many tree-related accidents could be avoided if people knew the signs and symptoms of a tree at risk of falling. Although there are many factors to consider, Driscoll Tree Service can inspect, detect, diagnose, and address minor issues before things get out of hand. Nothing is more frustrating than coming home to a fallen tree on your premises, causing damage and compromising the safety of your loved ones. Here are signs your tree might fall.
If a tree in your backyard is leaning, it doesn’t mean it will fall. Healthy trees adjust their root system to cope with the diagonal growth. However, routine assessments by a trusted tree care company go a long way in ensuring the tree remains healthy. A tree that suddenly leans to one side poses a safety risk and may eventually fall under extreme conditions, like strong winds and heavy rains. You can prevent costly damages by scheduling regular maintenance checks with a trusted tree service provider.
A tree with multiple trunks can split at the attachment point. While the cause for concern is not immediate, weakly attached trunks increase susceptibility to breaks and fall under the immense weight of a full trunk. You should have such trees inspected by a reputable tree care company for two reasons: to assess stability and recommend mitigating steps and determine if braces and cables are needed.
Tree hollows occur for several reasons, but most start as minor wounds attracting fungi and bacteria. Fungus eats the wood, leaving a cavity that the tree may or not be able to seal. The tree incurs severe damage in severe cases, and the fungus wins. It can be challenging for inexperienced individuals to determine the severity of damage and recommend a viable solution. Hence, working with a skilled tree service provider guarantees regularly scheduled inspections to ensure minor signs of deterioration are addressed in time.
Although it is common for trees to shed a few branches following a powerful storm, when the cause of falling branches is unknown, you need to call a professional as soon as possible. Check the break site for signs of decay, which causes premature failure. An arborist in Sugar Hill should assess a tree that suddenly sheds branches and ensure the roots are not compromised. The last thing you want is the tree falling on your home or surrounding structures. We can help you determine if the tree is salvageable, and if not, you can rely on our expertise to safely remove it before things get out of hand.
Mushrooms growing underneath a tree are not menacing but pose a severe danger. Mushrooms show fungus growth, and delaying care allows the fungus to penetrate the wood and soil. The safest option is to hire a tree care company to assess and address the problem. Mushrooms are harmless but can weaken the tree and make it susceptible to diseases or death.
