I've used Heath Tree Service many times at my home. Recently they removed a mature Bradford Pear in an awkward spot between houses and two fences, efficiently and without leaving a mess. This is a very professional and responsive group that I highly recommend.

We had several trees to cut and a few to thin out. The sales guy who came here agreed that on several trees, they will cut multiple branches to thin these trees out.

They were in a time crunch to finish the job that day because they brought

Storm Zeta crossed North Georgia and shared wind gusts of 40 to 60 MPH throughout the state, one night late in October 2020.

Guess Ill be getting out my ladder and telescoping branch cutter and doing it myself like the past couple years. Not impressed with my first call to a tree service. Usually do it myself, but I couldnt get high enough, which is why I tried to call in the pros
