Frequently Asked Questions
How does the EastLake Tree Doctor work?
The Tree Doctor asks you a series of questions about what you're seeing on your tree — where the problem is located, what symptoms are present, what type of tree it is, and how quickly the issue developed. It then matches your description against our database of 47 tree problems common to the Atlanta metro area and provides the most likely diagnoses with severity ratings and recommended next steps.
Is the Tree Doctor a substitute for a professional arborist?
No. The Tree Doctor is a helpful starting point for understanding what might be wrong with your tree, but an accurate diagnosis requires an on-site inspection by an ISA-certified arborist. Many tree diseases and pests share overlapping symptoms, and factors like soil conditions, root health, and site history can only be evaluated in person. We offer free on-site assessments for homeowners in the Atlanta metro area.
What tree problems can the Tree Doctor identify?
Our database covers 16 diseases (oak wilt, anthracnose, root rot, bacterial leaf scorch, Seiridium canker), 17 pests (emerald ash borer, southern pine beetle, bagworms, scale insects, aphids), 8 environmental issues (drought stress, iron chlorosis, clay soil compaction), and 6 structural problems (storm damage, weak branch unions, improper pruning). All entries are specific to tree species commonly found in the Atlanta metro area and across Georgia.
What should I do if my tree has a critical problem?
If the Tree Doctor identifies a critical issue like oak wilt, southern pine beetle, or significant storm damage, contact us immediately at 404-850-1174. Critical tree problems can spread to neighboring trees or create safety hazards. Our emergency team is available 24/7, and our arborist can typically schedule an assessment within one to two business days for urgent situations.

Yes.
