Does this sound familiar?

I cannot say enough about our experience with EastLake Tree Services, from start to finish. James came out looked at our needs was very well informed, professional and pleasant. The quote was reasonable and thorough. The crew was fantastic! They left our home and yard in much better shape than when they arrived and it wasn’t only because of the tree work. We will most definitely be using them again. Thanks very much James and crew!

I have used James and East Lake Tree several times. They are always fairly priced, responsive, and do high quality work. My most recent job required taking down trees and trimming over a pool build. High complexity. It went off without any glitches. East Lake Tree are one of the best contractors, in any sector, I have encountered.

Crew did a great job. James came out before the work began and confirmed the work needed. Crew worked diligently and then head crew member, Humberto, checked and made sure that all worked was complete and that I was satisfied. Thank you!

The Staff was very professional, they did an excellent job cutting, trimming and removing trees for me. After the job was completed they made sure that any/all debris was cleaned up not only at my property but any that may have gotten in my neighbor’s yard as well. I highly recommend Eastlake Tree & Lawn Service.

A great crew, super responsive, highly recommend! They worked their butts off from early morning to night, and on weekends. James and Humberto are names you should remember!

+How much does an arborist consultation cost in Atlanta?
Most arborist consultations at EastLake cost between $75 and $150 depending on property size and number of trees. The consultation includes a visual health assessment, risk evaluation, and written recommendations. If you proceed with recommended services, the consultation fee is often applied toward the work.
+What is the difference between an arborist and a tree trimmer?
An ISA-certified arborist has passed rigorous exams in tree biology, diagnosis, and care standards. A tree trimmer typically handles basic cutting without formal training. Arborists can diagnose diseases, prescribe treatments, write risk assessment reports, and provide expert testimony — services a general tree trimmer cannot offer.
+Do I need an arborist for a tree permit in Atlanta?
Atlanta’s 2026 Tree Protection Ordinance requires a certified arborist’s report for removing trees over a certain diameter. Our ISA-certified team handles the inspection, writes the required documentation, and can submit the permit application on your behalf.
+What certifications should I look for in an Atlanta arborist?
Look for ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certification at minimum. For risk assessments, ask for TRAQ (Tree Risk Assessment Qualification). EastLake’s lead arborist holds both certifications plus carries full liability insurance and workers’ compensation.
+Can an arborist save a dying tree?
Often, yes. An arborist can diagnose the cause — whether it’s root rot, nutrient deficiency, pest infestation, or construction damage — and prescribe targeted treatments like soil amendments, fungicide injections, or pruning to remove diseased wood. Early intervention dramatically improves outcomes.
