Eastlake Tree Services customer review for arborist services in Atlanta

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.

What is a TRAQ assessment and when do I need one?

TRAQ (Tree Risk Assessment Qualification) is the ISA’s standard methodology for evaluating whether a tree poses a safety hazard. You may need one for insurance documentation after storm damage, before construction near trees, for real estate transactions, or when Atlanta permitting requires a professional risk evaluation.

+
How much does a tree risk assessment cost in Atlanta?

A standard TRAQ assessment for a single tree runs $150 to $350 in the Atlanta area. Multi-tree property assessments, commercial sites, and assessments requiring resistograph drilling or aerial inspection may cost more. Written reports suitable for insurance or legal use are included.

+
What does a TRAQ report include?

A TRAQ report documents the tree species, size, health condition, structural defects, target assessment (what could be damaged), likelihood of failure, and consequences. It assigns a risk rating (low, moderate, high, or extreme) and recommends specific mitigation actions.

+
Is a TRAQ assessment required for tree removal permits in Atlanta?

For protected trees under Atlanta’s Tree Protection Ordinance, a certified arborist’s assessment is often required to justify removal. A TRAQ report strengthens your permit application by providing documented evidence that the tree poses an unacceptable risk.

+
How long does a tree risk assessment take?

A single-tree assessment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes on site. The written report is delivered within 3 to 5 business days. Emergency assessments for storm-damaged trees can be expedited with same-day or next-day site visits.
