Can't be of much help about the Atlanta area, but I could around here. Just 
this weekend the crew finally got to finish removing the broken branches and
devastation from the October snowfall.  We had told them it was no 
emergency -
take care of people who had real problems first.  The damage to several 
trees
was extensive and required much remedial pruning.  The Chinese scholar tree
lost a number of large branches.  The crabapple and pear trees both lost 
their
tops and a large portion of the curly willow is gone.  Anyway, I can at 
last get
down to the vegetable garden, though its fence needs serious repair.  The 
cost for all this was $1500, and it will be another $600 or so to remove 
branches
from a hickory that hangs out over the drive.  We figure that will be 
cheaper
than repairs if it goes in the next storm.  If the tree is very large, it 
would cost
anywhere up to $1000 to remove it in this area - but I really have no idea 
how
prices go in Atlanta.
 
Here's hoping you aren't having weather problems - it sounds like the 
Southwest
is getting hit pretty hard.

Hi.....hope holidays have been good for you all so far...Question please,  
if I may.....I know you all are busy, but I really would appreciate info,  
especially for anyone living in Georgia, Atlanta specifically.

A friend has been having issues with her neighbors over a tree.  She  is 
now having to have it taken down, without roots.  I told her that the  cost 
would depend on the size,  w/ or w/out roots,  hauling away, and  how 
crowded 
the area is (near houses, other structures, etc.)    Apparently it's not a 
small tree, and she wants it just cut at the roots.   Can anyone give me a 
price range that I can give her, and if anyone knows of a  reputable 
reasonable service that they can recommend for her...she'd very much  
appreciate this.

I know how much it would cost around here, but every area is different, and 
I don't know who to recommend there.  So if anyone can assist, I'd  
appreciate that too, since I'm not much help from this end.

Thanks....and Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, or just Happy Holidays  !!!  
Whatever you celebrate this time of year!!!!

Hugs,
