South Shores sits along Lake Decatur, and the extra soil moisture near the water means root systems here often anchor less firmly than on higher, drier ground elsewhere in the city.

That's especially true after a wet spring, when we see more lean and root-heave calls in South Shores than almost anywhere else we serve -- a tree that looked stable in summer can look very different after weeks of saturated shoreline soil.

What South Shores Customers Say

Had them come train-prune three young maples we planted a few years ago. Wesley walked me through exactly why each cut mattered. Appreciated the education, not just the service.
— Teresa H., Forsyth Area
Old oak in our backyard needed deadwooding, not removal, and I appreciated that they said so instead of pushing for the bigger job. Tree looks healthier and safer now.
— Jim O., Lincoln Park
Removed a large dying tree close to the house. Careful, professional, cleaned up well. Scheduling took a few days longer than I hoped but the work itself was excellent.
— Renee P., Home Park

South Shores Tree Service FAQs

Does lakeside soil make trees more likely to fall?

Saturated shoreline soil does reduce root anchoring compared to drier ground, so we pay extra attention to lean and root movement on South Shores properties.

Can you access waterfront yards with your equipment?

In most cases yes -- we assess access during the free estimate and adjust equipment or use rigging where a lakeside yard is tighter.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, every job starts with a free, no-obligation on-site walk-through before we quote a price.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency?

We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and prioritize emergency calls involving downed or hazardous trees.
