Plain talk up front, because a tree hanging over your roof is stressful enough without wondering who you are dealing with. This page explains exactly what Augusta Tree Care Pros is, what it is not, and how the money works.
Augusta Tree Care Pros is a referral service for homeowners in the Augusta area who need tree work. We publish plain English information about tree problems in the river region, take your call or your form, and pass your request to a local tree service contractor who serves your part of town. The contractor schedules the evaluation, looks at your trees in person, and, if you hire them, quotes and performs the work under a contract directly with you.
We exist because finding a good tree crew cold is its own project, and tree work punishes a bad hire more than most trades: the risks run to roofs, fences, and people. A homeowner staring at a leaning pine usually wants one thing: a qualified local contractor to come stand under the tree and give a straight judgment. Arranging that introduction is the whole of our job.
Georgia has no state tree service license. There is no state license for tree work to hold, show, or verify, and any tree company that invents a state license number is telling you something important about itself. Because the state does not license this trade, the standards that protect you are insurance, demonstrated competence, and a written quote. Before a contractor receives referrals through this site, they must:
You can and should ask any tree contractor who contacts you for a current insurance certificate in their business name before work starts. A legitimate contractor expects that question.
The referral costs you nothing. Contractor partners pay us a flat fee for operating this marketing and referral service. That fee is the same whether your job is large, small, or never happens at all, and it is never a percentage of your contract and never a charge added to your bill. We do not sell your information to data brokers or to lists of unrelated companies; your details go to a contractor partner for the purpose of answering your request, as our privacy policy spells out.
Because our fee does not depend on your job, nothing about this service rewards steering you toward a removal. If the contractor's honest answer is that your oak needs pruning and five more years of watching, that answer costs us nothing.
Tree behavior is local. A loblolly pine in wet Martinez clay, a century old oak in Summerville, and a water side tree at Lake Aumond are three different risk pictures that happen to share a skyline. The guides on this site are written from the trees and weather of this region on purpose, so when you talk to the contractor who evaluates your yard, you can ask sharper questions and hear whether the answers match the ground you live on.
