What people ask us
How can I tell if a tree on my property might fall?
Look for leaning that is new, cracks in the trunk, dead or hanging branches, mushrooms at the base, or soil heaving near the roots. Hot humid summers and strong thunderstorms can stress weak trees. If something looks off, keep people and cars away. A local provider in our network can inspect it and explain your options.
Can I do anything to prevent storm damage to my trees?
Yes. Regular pruning of dead limbs helps a lot. Keep mulch off the trunk and water young trees during dry spells. Have a provider look at large trees before storm season, especially near the house. Removing a weak tree early is often calmer and simpler than dealing with one that has already fallen.
How do I choose a tree removal provider?
Ask each provider for a written quote that lists the work, cleanup, and stump handling. Ask whether they carry liability coverage and workers' compensation, and ask for proof. Be careful with anyone who asks for full payment up front. Attemptedwash Tree Service connects you with independent providers, but you decide who to hire.
Will my homeowners insurance cover a fallen tree?
It depends on your policy. Some policies may cover sudden damage, such as a tree that lands on a roof or fence. Others limit coverage for removal alone. Check your policy and talk with your insurer. Providers can often help document damage with photos and notes for a claim.
What should I do in the first hour after a tree falls?
Breathe, then plan. Keep everyone away from the tree and stay clear of any downed power lines. Never touch a tree that rests on a wire. Take photos from a safe distance. Then request an estimate, or request a callback to check provider availability.
Can I cut up a fallen tree myself?
Small branches on the ground, away from wires and the house, may be fine for a careful homeowner with the right gear. Trees under tension, leaning trunks, or anything near a roof or power line need professional equipment and training. When in doubt, step back and let a provider handle it.
How much does tree removal usually cost?
In the U.S., typical tree removal runs from a few hundred dollars for a small tree to a few thousand for a large or hard-to-reach one. Price depends on height, location, condition, and cleanup. Storm clearance and crane work can cost more. Always get a written quote before work begins.
What happens after I request an estimate?
You share a few details about the tree and your yard. Attemptedwash Tree Service then matches your request with an independent local provider in the East Point area. The provider contacts you to talk through the job, may ask for photos, and gives you a quote. There is no obligation to accept it.
