Tips for Dealing with Atlanta Allergies Due to our Atlanta Trees

Can you smell it in the air? Spring is here in Atlanta and that means lots of beautiful blossoms!

Unfortunately, it can also mean sneezing, coughing, watering eyes, and many other allergic reactions. We at Atlanta Tree Professionals would like to offer you a few simple tips to help you through pollen season.

Tip#1 Know What Is In The Air.

Every year when spring time comes so do the reactions. We suggest finding out what is blooming and causing your suffering, this way you can track when pollen counts are high and avoid too much outdoor exposure. There are several websites that track pollen, weed, and grass counts. A few we recommend are:

Also there are numerous clinics in the Atlanta area that can help you identify your allergies as well!

Tip#2 Avoid Excessive Exposure.

After identifying what is causing you to react we recommend that you avoid as much exposure as possible.  If you have these trees present right outside your window it may be time to have them removed!

Tip #3 Take Care Of Yourself.

You can find plenty of prescription or over the counter medications to help you deal with allergy symptoms. Also eating local honey from your area can actually help reduce allergic reactions. The key is find out what works best  for you. Keep well rested and hydrated and hopefully your symptoms will not be as severe.

Tip#4 Do The Rain Dance.

Often after times of rain, allergens in the air are reduced temporarily. This can offer great relief to sufferers.

We hope these tips will help you be more equipped when dealing with the pollen season in Atlanta. As always we at Atlanta Tree Professionals are here to help with all your tree service needs! Give us a call today!

Atlanta Storm Season Preparations

Preparing for the spring storm season can leave you feeling a lot like preparing for your first date, scared, clueless, and breaking out in a rash!

At Atlanta Tree Professionals we would like to offer some simple tips to help you prepare for the storms so you won’t have to be covered in calamine lotion.

Tip#1 Batteries

Often times the power goes out during severe storms. It is best to have batteries on hand.  Consider batteries for flashlights, portable am/fm radio, and any other devices that require batteries.

Tip#2 Light

Make sure you have plenty of candles, lanterns, matches, and lighters. Be safe don’t leave candles burning throughout the night unattended.

Tip#3 Have a way to communicate

When it comes to our cell phones we can forget that without a charge our phones will leave us with no communication. Most people have given up their landlines. However you may want to consider getting one in case of emergency!

Tip#4 Water

Having plenty of clean filtered drinking water is a must. Especially after a storm, sewers can back up and all sorts of things can affect the water supply. Fill jugs ahead of time or buy water at the store for such an occasion.

Tip#5 Food

Consider stocking up on nonperishable items such as bread, crackers, and cans of soup. Also make sure you have a can opener that is nonelectric!

Tip#6 Seek Shelter

Have a place where you and your family can wait out the storm, usually a basement, bathroom, or closet. Make sure to take your supplies with you!

Here is a shot of tree that just came down today in Sandy Springs. Not a very nice Christmas present.

The first step in getting a felled tree in your yard removed is choosing a reputable tree service. Great care and precision must be used to not inflict additional damage to a home or property.

Read a recent customer’s experience in Sandy Springs:

On December 5, 2012,  Atlanta Tree Professionals removed a very large and dangerous red oak.  The tree was dying and dropping large limbs from 50 and 60 feet up.  Asked DJ, if at all possible, to avoid hitting a beautiful October Glory red maple, a crepe myrtle and a flowering weeping cherry growing very close to the oak.  Fortunately, not even a twig was broken on any of these trees.

I was very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them.

Winter Tree Trimming in Atlanta

Winter Tree Trimming

Cooler weather brings changes not only to the treeline but also to the exterior of our homes.

The needs for the typical Atlanta garden and yard change. Here in Sandy Springs and Atlanta we can safely shout from our treehouses, “No more yelling at my kid to mow the lawn!”

One big change is that unfortunately fresh tomato season is over and planting season for many things has passed. However, according to my new favorite blog, Grow Your Own (food),  if you live in metro Atlanta you maybe able to grow some carrots and a few other things, like onions. It all comes down to what part of town you live in and what level of sunlight you receive this time of year.

Cooler weather also means dormant season for trees. The tree leaves fall, and fall, and fall and fall, I guess you get the picture.  For some the annoyance is only temporary until you get your manly fire going with all the leaves from the yard. Burn baby burn.

Right now is the perfect time to trim your trees. The insect population is reduced so the exposure to insects while the tree is healing from the cuts is lessened.

Atlanta Tree Professionals are professionals when it comes to

Tree Trimming in Atlanta

When a tree falls in your yard or house, the first emotion is panic! “Must hurry and get this tree removed this minute!” Of course, there is probably some ‘not so savory’ words in that thought.

We understand and realize a huge weight has been dropped on your plate. Let us talk you down with some tips on what not to do when hiring a tree removal company in Atlanta.

1. Don’t hire a unlicensed  or uninsured tree removal company. Check credentials. Sure you may get a better price when hiring a company like that but they will eat your shirt and you will too if and when one their workers get injured on your property.  Not only can they cause extra damage that they aren’t covered for, you are the one who will pay to get it fixed.
2. Do not pay a deposit. You shouldn’t pay for the tree removal job until it is done. Many times this can a be “a cut and run” scan. They may do a partial job and leave you with half cut trees.
3. Before hiring be sure they are able to get the proper permits if they are needed. In the City of Atlanta permits are required for cutting down certain trees. Atlanta Tree Professionals is excellent at helping get these filed with you. Let us help you get that “paperwork” done!

Atlanta Tree Professionals is your ecofriendly tree service. This year we are running a campaign “Help Us Plant 300 Trees”.  At every tree(s) removal site we will plant one new tree! Mention the campaign when you call or sign up for a free estimate at our website    http://www.AtlantaTreeProfessionals.com

How much does Sandy Springs Tree Removal cost? If you call three different tree companies, you are going to get three different quotes.  Remember to compare apples to apples. You might get a good deal on a plum but it’s not an apple. When comparing prices different parts of the puzzle have to be taken into consideration. And don’t forget the Sandy Springs Tree Removal permit.  Atlanta Tree Professionals can help with the Sandy Springs permit application and process.

-Is the tree located in an easy to access location? Can the cranes pull up right beside it or are high power electric voltage lines in the way?

-Which way is the tree leaning? Is it over the house or some other expensive territory?

-If tree sections get dropped will the weight disturb septic field lines or is it a clear space?

And then you have to consider which company to go with.

This is where a Fuji is not a Red Delicious.

Are they licensed? Are they insured? If the answer is no, you seriously should walk away, no better yet, run from that quote. Having that type of liability on your property is absolutely not worth it.

Also, are they interested in examining the tree for signs of life or do they just want to pull out the knives? We are Atlanta’s ecofriendly tree service provider. We aim to save the tree when we can. And sometimes we are able to with careful pruning and maintenance.

Atlanta Tree Professional estimates are painless. We can come by and tell you the truth and give you a fair price.
