“Bubba” is not a person, but an unfortunate approach to tree service and tree removal work in Atlanta. “Bubba” represents all of the horror stories regarding tree work you may have heard about or even experienced:
- The “no-show” - You are scheduled for a quote or for work to be done but nobody shows up or calls. Maybe you never hear from them again.
- The “door-knocker” - You hear a knock at the door and wonder if it’s a package delivery only to find out it’s your door-to-door tree service salesman. "While we're in the area" is true only if you can see their trucks and/or hear their chippers. Desperate is often cheap, but rarely ends well.
- The "used car salesman" - When arranging your tree removal estimate, he either asks to be the last one (so he can undercut everyone else) or, once on site, he puts the pressure on to decide immediately. "I can have 20 guys here tomorrow morning," he exclaims, "just give me 20% now." Don't do it!
- The “doomsday prophet” - Your “free” quote ends with their “impartial, professional” opinion that every tree in your yard is “at risk” and should be removed immediately or your family might die.
- The “all heart, no head” crew - Your tree removal crew shows up with one saw and one small pickup. What should have been a 3 hour job, ends only partially completed with you kicking them off your property at 11pm. (true story)
- The “I’ll get even” owner - After a disagreement about the work order, the company dumps a load of logs in your driveway. (also a true story)
- The "Chapter 13 business model" - Shortcut necessary controls and requirements such as insurance and equipment maintenance in order to undercut legitimate companies until the IRS, DOT or state regulators catch up to you, then declare bankrupcy and start a new company.
“Bubba” is cheap, but probably not the best choice to be doing important, skilled and often dangerous tree removal work on YOUR property. Additionally, if you own your property for more than three years, you will likely need tree service more than once, so why not make the right choice the first time?

This was the THIRD Tree Company I have used over the last few years. These guys were WAY ABOVE anything I've dealt with in this tree biz. Ethical, Professional & VERY Knowledgeable on not only tree removal but also overall healthy yard maintenance. Few things they helped with beyond what i hired them for are now paying dividends now that we are in growth part of summer. Price was VERY FAIR for level of service. They CARE & it shows! I am now a FAN!! - Alpharetta |
