FAQ
Common Questions
Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree service?
Yes. Storms don't keep business hours, so we offer 24/7 emergency service. If a tree has fallen on your house, car, driveway or fence, call Call Now day or night. Stay clear of the tree and any downed power lines, and tell us what you see. We'll help you with emergency tree removal and storm cleanup in Gilmer County and across our service area.
Are your estimates free?
Yes. Estimates are free on all of our services, including tree removal, land and lot clearing, forestry mulching and storm cleanup. We can do your estimate on-site, or virtually from photos and a call. You get a clear, flat-rate price before any work starts, and our No-Surprise Guarantee means what we quote is what you pay.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Explicit Land & Tree Services is licensed, bonded and fully insured, with $2 million in insurance coverage. Tree work is dangerous, so insurance matters: it protects you and your property while we work. Our crew also wears proper safety gear on every job. Ask us for proof of insurance during your free estimate.
Can you safely remove a tree that's close to my house?
Yes. Trees leaning over a roof, deck or driveway are some of our most common jobs. We plan each removal around what's nearby and use the right equipment for the space, such as CMC Arbor Pro lifts for high limbs and crane-assisted removal for big trees near the house. Sections come down under control instead of falling where they want.
Should I save my tree or remove it?
It depends on the tree. Dead trees, trees leaning toward your house, and trees with large cracks, hollow trunks or rot at the base are often safer to remove. A tree that looks healthy may only need a closer look. During your free estimate we'll give you honest advice and recommend only the work you actually need.
Do you clear land and building lots?
Yes. We clear overgrown land, wooded lots and building sites with skid steers, excavators, chippers, dump trailers and dump trucks. We can take trees down, clear brush, use forestry mulching or brush hogging where it fits, and haul the debris away. Tell us your plans for the land, and we'll recommend the right approach for your lot.
What is forestry mulching?
Forestry mulching uses a machine with a grinding head to turn brush, undergrowth and small trees into mulch right where they stand. It clears land without piling and hauling every branch, and the mulch layer helps cover the ground. It works well for opening up overgrown lots, trails, fence lines and views. We'll tell you during your estimate if it fits your property.
What payment methods do you accept, and do you offer discounts?
We accept cash, debit, check, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Venmo. We offer discounts for military and first responders, and new customers can save 5% on any service over $1,000 or $100 on same-day hire or service. Ask about the discount that applies to you when you call Call Now or request your free estimate.
What areas do you serve?
We're a local, family-owned company serving nine North Georgia counties: Gilmer, Fannin, Gordon, Pickens, Cherokee, Dawson, Bartow, Lumpkin and Union. We cover many communities in each, but not always every road in every county. Not sure if we cover your property? Call Call Now with your address and we'll let you know right away.
