Brookhaven's Tree Canopy: Beautiful But Demanding

Brookhaven is one of DeKalb County's most desirable neighborhoods, and a big part of that appeal is the mature tree canopy. Tall oaks, elms, and pines line the streets and shade the yards. But those same trees need regular maintenance to keep them from damaging your home.

We recently completed a roof clearance pruning job in Brookhaven where an elm tree was growing directly into the roofline. The branches were scraping the shingles, clogging the gutters with leaves, and giving bugs a direct path into the attic. The homeowner had been putting it off, but the damage was getting worse every season.

Our Approach to Roof Clearance in Brookhaven

Our climber went up with ropes and made precise cuts to create 5-10 feet of clearance from the roofline. The tree still looks great — we did not top it or butcher it. We simply pulled the canopy back from the house so it is no longer causing damage.

Every cut branch was carried out by hand, and the work area was cleaned according to the agreed scope. The homeowner was pleased with the completed clearance.

Why Choose Appalachian Tree Service in Brookhaven

Most tree companies show up with bucket trucks and heavy equipment that tear up your driveway and lawn. In Brookhaven, where properties are well-maintained and landscaping is an investment, that is not acceptable.

We use a climber on ropes and plan the work around access, lawns, driveways and landscaping. Material included in the written scope is carried out by hand and hauled away in our dump trailer.
