Call (678) 848-8365 for guidance.

What is the best time of year to trim trees in North Georgia?

In North Georgia the best time to trim most trees is late fall through winter (November through February) when trees are dormant. Avoid trimming oak trees in spring and early summer due to the risk of oak wilt. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed year-round regardless of season.

Do you have a crane for tree removal?

Yes. Beasley Tree Experts owns and operates a 110-ton Liebherr crane — one of the most powerful in North Georgia. Our crane operators are NCCCO certified. This allows us to handle complex removals, emergency situations, and precision work that most other tree companies in Cherokee County simply cannot.

A tree fell on my house — what should I do first?

First get everyone away from the affected area. Do not re-enter any room where the tree has come through. If the tree has hit power lines call Georgia Power at 1-888-660-5890. Call Beasley Tree Experts immediately at (678) 848-8365 — we are available 24/7 with our 110-ton crane. Photograph all damage from a safe distance for your insurance claim then contact your homeowner's insurance.

How much does tree removal cost in Georgia?

Tree removal costs in Georgia vary depending on several factors — the size of the tree, where it's located on your property, how difficult it is to access, and whether crane work or stump grinding is needed.

Do you offer free estimates for tree service?

Yes — absolutely. Every estimate from Beasley Tree Experts is completely free with no obligation whatsoever. We'll visit your property, take a look at the tree or trees in question, assess any risks or access challenges, and give you a clear written quote before any work begins.

What is the best time of year to trim trees?

Late fall through winter (November–February) is the best time for most trees — the ideal window for trimming deciduous trees like oaks, maples, sweetgums, and tulip poplars, the most common trees in Cherokee County. Spring (March–April) is acceptable for most species and fine for light pruning and cleanup, but avoid oaks. Summer (May–August) should be limited to light trimming — removing dead, damaged, or hazardous branches. Year-round, dead, broken, or hanging branches should be removed as soon as they're identified, regardless of season. A dead branch is a liability that doesn't follow a calendar.

A tree fell on my house — what should I do?

Step 1 — Don't go back inside. A tree through your roof or wall can compromise the structure; stay out until it's been assessed as safe. Step 2 — Watch for gas and power lines. If the tree has hit power lines, don't touch anything — call Georgia Power at 1-888-660-5890. If you smell gas, leave and call your gas company immediately. Step 3 — Call us straight away. We're available 24/7 at (678) 848-8365, with our 110-ton crane on standby around the clock. Step 4 — Document before cleanup. Once it's safe, photograph and video all damage before anything is moved; your insurance company will need this. Step 5 — Call your insurer and report the claim as soon as possible. We carry full documentation of every job and are happy to work directly with your adjuster.

What is an ISA Certified Arborist and why does it matter?

An ISA Certified Arborist is a tree care professional who has passed a comprehensive exam administered by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) — the leading tree care organization in the world. To earn and maintain certification, arborists must demonstrate knowledge of tree biology, proper pruning techniques, safe work practices, tree risk assessment, and diagnosis of tree diseases and pests.

Should I trim or remove my tree?

Not every problem tree needs to come down — and as ISA Certified Arborists, we'll always give you an honest answer rather than automatically recommending removal. When you call us for a free estimate, our ISA Certified Arborist will assess your specific tree and give you a clear, honest recommendation.

Does stump grinding cost extra, or is it included in tree removal?

Stump grinding is typically a separate service from tree removal and is quoted separately on your estimate. It is not automatically included in the tree removal price.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree service?

Yes — Beasley Tree Experts offers 24/7 emergency tree service across Cherokee County and Metro Atlanta. We understand that storms and tree emergencies don't follow business hours. When a tree falls on your home, blocks your driveway, or creates an immediate safety hazard, you need someone who will actually answer the phone and respond quickly — day or night, weekdays or weekends. Our emergency service includes our 110-ton Liebherr crane, which allows us to handle situations most other tree companies in North Georgia simply cannot — including trees on roofs, trees in tight spaces, and large hazardous removals that require precise crane-assisted lifting. For emergency tree service, call us immediately at (678) 848-8365, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

How do I know if my tree is dangerous or needs to be removed?

Obvious warning signs: dead or hanging branches (called 'widow makers') that could fall at any time; a tree that is visibly leaning, especially if the lean has increased recently; large cracks, splits, or cavities in the trunk or main branches; a tree that has already partially fallen or been severely damaged in a storm; roots that have been cut, damaged, or exposed during construction or landscaping. Less obvious warning signs: fungal growth (mushrooms) at the base of the trunk, which often signals internal decay; bark that is peeling, discolored, or has unusual holes (possible pest infestation); a tree that has lost significant leaf coverage or leafs out later than surrounding trees; tight V-shaped branch junctions, which are structurally weaker than U-shaped ones; and a tree close to your home, vehicle, power lines, or frequently used areas.

Do you work with homeowner's insurance for storm damage?

Yes — and we'll do our best to make the process as easy as possible for you. We can provide photos, documentation, and a detailed invoice that your insurance company will typically ask for. If your adjuster needs to speak with us directly, we're happy to help with that too. One thing worth knowing — most homeowner's policies will cover tree removal if it's fallen on a structure like your house, fence, or garage. If it fell in your yard without hitting anything, coverage is less common. Every policy is different, so it's always worth calling your insurer to find out exactly what's covered. If you've had storm damage, give us a call at (678) 848-8365 and we'll come out, take a look, and help you figure out the best next step.

What equipment do you use — do you have a crane?

Yes — our crane capability is one of the things that truly sets Beasley Tree Experts apart from most tree service companies in North Georgia. Our main equipment includes: a 110-Ton Liebherr Crane, one of the most powerful in the region, letting us safely remove large, hazardous, or hard-to-access trees other companies cannot handle — including trees in tight backyards, trees overhanging structures, and large mature hardwoods; our crane operators are NCCCO certified. A Grapple Truck that uses a hydraulic claw to quickly load and haul away logs, branches, and debris, making cleanup faster and more efficient. Professional climbing and rigging equipment for trees that don't require crane access, used by our ISA certified arborists to safely dismantle trees in sections. And a commercial-grade Stump Grinder that removes stumps completely below ground level, leaving your yard clean and ready for replanting or landscaping. All equipment is professionally maintained and operated by trained, certified professionals on every job.

Are you licensed and insured for tree removal in Georgia?

Yes — Beasley Tree Experts is fully licensed and insured to perform tree removal and all tree care services in Georgia. Specifically, we carry: General Liability Insurance, which protects your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during our work; Workers' Compensation Insurance, which protects our crew and protects you as the homeowner from liability if a worker is injured on your property; ISA Certification from the International Society of Arboriculture; and NCCCO Certification for our crane operators. We strongly recommend homeowners always ask any tree service company for proof of insurance before work begins — an uninsured tree company working on your property can leave you liable for accidents, injuries, and damage.

Signs Your Tree Needs to Come Down

Dead, brittle tree showing signs it needs to be removed

A dead tree loses structural integrity fast — brittle limbs and weakened roots mean it can fail with little warning, especially in high wind or heavy rain.

Dead or dying trees

A tree that's been split, uprooted, or partially snapped by a storm can still be standing, but the internal damage often makes it unstable and unpredictable until it's professionally assessed.

Storm damage

Left untreated, disease and pest damage doesn't stay contained — it weakens the tree from the inside out and can spread to healthy trees nearby.

Disease or pest infestation

Aggressive root systems can crack concrete, lift driveways, and infiltrate underground pipes — sometimes the safest fix is removing the tree before the damage gets worse.

Root damage

Leaning tree at risk of falling near power lines

A sudden or worsening lean is one of the clearest signs a tree's root system is failing — and the closer it leans to a structure, the higher the risk.

Land clearing

Overcrowded trees competing for light, water, and nutrients

When too many trees compete for the same light, water, and nutrients, all of them weaken — thinning out the right ones protects the health of the rest.

Overcrowding

Cleared lot ready for new construction or landscaping

Sometimes removal isn't about risk at all — it's about making room for what's next, whether that's a new build, a pool, or a redesigned yard.

Leaning trees

Fallen tree blocking a road, limiting access and emergency vehicles

Trees blocking driveways, roads, walkways, or sightlines aren't just inconvenient — they can delay emergency vehicles or create blind spots that put people at risk.

Access or clearance
