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 tree pruning cost in Atlanta?
Tree pruning in Atlanta typically costs $200 to $800 per tree depending on size, species, and complexity. Small ornamental trees start around $150, while large oaks or hardwoods requiring aerial work can run $600 to $1,200. We provide free on-site estimates.
+When is the best time to prune trees in Atlanta?
Most Atlanta trees should be pruned during dormancy — December through February. Exceptions include spring-flowering trees (prune right after bloom) and oak species (avoid April through July to reduce oak wilt risk). Emergency deadwood removal can be done any time.
+What is the difference between pruning and trimming?
Pruning is the selective removal of branches for health, structure, or safety — it follows ANSI A300 standards. Trimming typically refers to shaping hedges or cutting for aesthetics. Professional arborists perform pruning with specific objectives for each cut, not just shaping.
+Will pruning hurt my tree?
Proper pruning by a certified arborist actually improves tree health by removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches and improving airflow. What hurts trees is over-pruning (removing more than 25% of the canopy), topping, lion-tailing, or making flush cuts that damage the branch collar.
+Do you follow ANSI standards for pruning?
Yes. Every pruning job follows ANSI A300 pruning standards and our crew operates under ANSI Z133 safety standards. This means proper cut placement at the branch collar, species-appropriate pruning ratios, and no topping or other harmful practices.
