ISA-Certified Arborist #SO-0296-A

An arborist, by definition, is an individual trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly.

Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.

Pruning

Pruning can stimulate growth in sparse areas of the tree. Pruning can also restrict growth where too much growth is undesirable. Dead, damaged, and diseased branches should be removed as soon as possible.

Tree Removal

At Appleseed Tree Service we are not “tree cutters”, we are trained Arborists and we value trees. We look at tree removal as a last resort solution to a problem.

Restore tree health

Restore Health

An undiagnosed sick tree could kill your other surrounding trees, leaving your yard treeless. Appleseed Tree Service will do all of the dangerous things for you to keep you and your home safe. If there is any way to save your tree, we will know and will be able to help.

Hazard removal

Remove Hazards

Whether hazards are created by strong winds or ice-storms, or whether construction on the site may or already has negatively affected the tree, we can recognize tree risk and impliment strategies to help ensure trees are able to provide their full complement of benefits.

Barn built with recycled wood

Recycle

To better support our environment all of the by-products of our service are recycled into wood chips, firewood, wood for turning or logs milled for lumber to build furniture, boats, etc.

Free Wood Chips

Appleseed Tree Service is proud to support Oakhurst Garden & Wylde Woods. When requesting your Free Wood Chips, we ask that you consider making a donation to support their service to the greater Decatur community as a beautiful space to learn and enjoy. To learn more, visit: https://www.wyldecenter.org

Please use the link below and fill out the Contact Form. Please be advised we need good access for a large truck, without overhead obstructions and level terrain (preferably pavement). The wood chips will not be uniform in shape or dyed. They are usually a mixture of wood with some twigs and leaves. The schedule for delivery is random and often last minute. You will be notified prior to delivery.

The chips are delivered in a large pile. We cannot spread the chips or split a single load into two or more piles. Nor can we deliver a load smaller than the truck carries. Also, once delivered we will not pick up.

You'll receive an entire dump trucks worth of wood chips, which can be as much as 20 cubic yards, approximately. There is no way to request a specific amount; you won't know how much you're getting until it shows up. That may seem like a lot, but wood chips break down quickly, and it's recommended to spread them in a thick layer to work effectively, up to 9" thick! If you end up having more than you need, give some away to your neighbors!
