Tree Service in Lawrenceville, GA

Tree Service in Lawrenceville covers a lot of ground. Incorporated on December 15, 1821, Lawrenceville is the Gwinnett County seat and is often described as the second-oldest city in metro Atlanta. Its streets around the courthouse square were laid out in 1821, and the 1885 courthouse still stands. Older neighborhoods close to downtown have big, long-lived shade trees. Farther out, the city covers newer subdivisions and apartment communities where trees are younger and the problems are different.

Many renters, many landlords

Census QuickFacts shows that 47.0% of Lawrenceville homes are owner-occupied, which means more than half are rented. We get calls from landlords and property managers as well as from people who own and live in their homes. For rental property, a clear written estimate with photos of the trees is useful for the owner's records, and we can work with an on-site tenant to schedule access.

Older shade trees in town

Near the square and along older residential streets, the trees we see most are large oaks, maples and pecans. Trees that have stood for decades near sidewalks and streets often have root damage from past paving, and limbs that lean over roofs and power drops. The goal there is usually to keep the tree: deadwood removal, reducing heavy limbs, and raising branches for clearance, following the ANSI A300 pruning standard rather than topping.

Parks and green space

Rhodes Jordan Park covers 162 acres with a fishing lake and a 1.9-mile paved trail, and Freeman's Grist Mill is a county park with a historic mill. Homes near these parks often back onto wooded edges, where dead trees on the park side can fall toward private yards. If a tree on public land worries you, contact the park's owner. We can handle anything on your side of the line.

Construction and tree roots

When older homes in town get additions, new driveways or sewer replacements, roots are often cut within a few feet of the trunk. The tree may look fine for a year or two and then decline from the damaged side. If you are planning construction, tell us early. We can suggest how far to keep digging away from the trunk and which trees are worth protecting.

Emergencies

After a storm, safety comes first. Stay away from any wire, call the utility if a line is involved, and keep people out from under hanging limbs. Then call us to clear the tree from the house, driveway or yard.
