Certified Arborist

What is a Georgia Certified Arborist?

An arborist is a student of their profession. To be a Certified Arborist is not an easy task. Certified Arborists of Georgia are individuals who achieved a high level of knowledge in the art and science of tree care. This is accomplished through experience and passing a comprehensive examination developed by some of the nation’s leading experts on tree care. Georgia’s Certified Arborists must continue their education and learning to maintain their certification. This keeps them up to date on the latest practices of tree care and management. Tim Costley (of SAM Tree Service) your local Dawsonville Certified Arborist is one of the few tree service professionals that achieved this recognition in Georgia.

Why Hire a Georgia Certified Arborist?

Hiring a North Georgia Certified Arborist means you have someone who not only has met all the State and Federal requirements to achieve this distinction; but also has a deep understanding of the unique tree services needs in North Georgia Communities such as in Dawsonville, Cumming, Alpharetta, Gainesville, Dahlonega, Suwannee, and Johns Creek to name a few. Tim Costley like other Georgia Certified Arborist is a specialist in the care of trees. Choosing an arborist can be a wise financial decision. Proper tree care can add a considerable value to your property. Well cared for trees are pleasant to view if not to say attractive. Poor maintained trees can be a liability both in looks and safety. You should also acknowledge that tree trimming or removing trees, especially large trees in Georgia can be dangerous work. This is why you need to hire only those that have been highly trained and equipped to work under these situations. This will help save you from possible liability situations. We are not only well trained and certified but we are insured as well. So make the safe and reliable choice and choose SAM for all your Georgia Tree Service Needs.

Arborist Services that SAM Can Provide:

North Georgia Tree Trimming or Pruning

At SAM Tree Services we can help determine the type of tree trimming or pruning necessary to maintain the health as well as the appearance and safety of trees.

These techniques include:

• Removing branches or limbs that may rub against each other
• Eliminating limbs that may come in contact with wires, buildings, gutters, chimneys, roofs, or windows
• Removal of dead & weak limbs that may be a potential hazard or that may cause decay
• Trimming diseased or insect-infested branches
• training & shaping young trees
• removing damaged branches caused by Georgia occasional adverse weather conditions

North Georgia Tree Removal

Although tree removal is always a last resort, there are of course circumstances when it is necessary. Removal is recommended when a tree

• is dead or appears to be dying
• is hazardous
• is causing an obstruction where it is not possible to correct through trimming
• is causing damage and harm to other trees by over-crowding
• is to be replaced by a more suitable tree
• is in an area where new construction requires its removal

North Georgia Emergency Tree Care

North Georgia Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to fall, often landing on other trees, homes and other structures, or cars. The weight of storm-damaged trees is great, and they can be dangerous to remove or trim.

A Certified Arborist such as Tim can assist in performing the job in a safe manner, while reducing further risk of damage to property.

North Georgia Tree Planting

Our team can plant trees, and recommend types of trees that are appropriate for our North Georgia Climate. The wrong tree in the wrong location could lead to future problems as a result of limited growing space, insects, diseases, or poor growth.
