Since 1972, we've seen our share of electrical companies come and go and we've even had our own highs and lows and have had to adjust when the economy changes. Now, it's more important than ever to find a reliable electrician. Here are some things to check before hiring your electrician. Are they registered to do business in the state? You can easily check on this by visiting the following link and typing in their business name. Keep in mind though, sometimes some companies go by a trade name that may be listed differently on the state of Georgia's site.https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov/BusinessSearch Are they licensed? Normally, this information can be easy to find on their website but you need to make sure what they post is not fictitious. Visithttp://verify.sos.ga.gov/verification/and plug in the license numbers to make sure they are up to date and valid. Are they Insured? When an electrician or any service provider claims they are fully insured, don't take their word for it. Workman's Comp is VERY expensive and required when you have 3 employees (in the state of Georgia) but some companies opt to take the risk and not pay for it. Any service provider should be able to provide a COI when requested. Check Reviews. This is probably the first thing anyone does when they go to look to hire an electrician. There's Facebook, yelp, google, yp, home advisor, and many directories that publish reviews to check. Get Quotes. We are almost never the cheapest electrician on the block and that's for good reason. We pay our employees well, pay for all insurances (like I said before, insurance isn't cheap), provide tools and equipment needed for electrical jobs, etc. We have had customers come to us AFTER accepting another electrician's quote and had the work done poorly and it ends up costing them more money because we have to go in and clean up the other guys' mess. Cheapest isn't always best - especially when it comes to electrical. I hope this helps you in finding an electrician that is right for your job. And I do hope you would contact our office for all of your electrical needs. We've been in business since 1972, we are fully insured (we've got the COI's to prove it) and licensed as well.

Begin by properly caring for your trees in the early stages. Like a new pet, new trees require special care during their first years - from planting through adolescence. Often, an early "Tree Care Maintenance Plan" will cost less, result in a more beautiful landscape, provide countless benefits and reduce costly risk hazards in the future. Proper planting will help reduce many of the problems that Commercial Property Owners/Managers face in: • Tree loss/replacement costs • Costs of attempting to correct pest, disease issues • Poor root health, the leading cause of tree disorders The roots cannot be visually inspected and therefore, problems cannot be detected and/or corrected. A Certified Arborist may be able to detect some root issues, however, they are not able to see everything without excavating the root zone. We have the proper equipment to insure that excavation of smaller trees is relatively inexpensive and very effective. Among the many issues found during the excavation of a declining tree's root zone are: Girdling roots that choke-out the tree's main trunk or other roots, broken/severed roots damaged during installation or construction (utilities) or other mechanical damage as well as fungus and other diseases. If the tree first tree at top is planted "as is", it will probably end up like the following 2 pictures. Wouldn't you want to avoid this type of issue? Trees cannot be planted with girdling roots This may have been avoided…. This tree “seemed” healthy in the top When a tree is properly pruned for structural integrity, it grows upright much more quickly than just "limbing up" (which causes foliage to grow like a shrub). It will be much stronger and able to resist wind/storms without breakage. Proper structure pruning is performed occasionally over a period of several years (usually 5-10). The amount of work is generally minimal, so the cost of having this done is very low. Just 3-5 prunings in 10 years is usually sufficient to create a finished tree structure.Tree Medics has long-term plans available to fit your budget as well as short-term plans to help save existing trees. Proper structure pruning will help reduce: • The possibility of branch failure • Pest/disease issues • Improve clearance over drives/walkways • Enhance visibility for signage/frontage. Again, like a new pet, trees are subject to many life-threatening issues that can easily go undetected and result in added costs, for example: • Loss of the tree • Replacement • Contribute to an unsightly landscape. Most cities have tree ordinances in place to regulate the care of trees and ensure they are being properly maintained. In addition, enforcement of tree ordinances may result in fines and penalties for disregarding your trees health. Establishing a Tree Care Management Plan with Tree Medics will: • Help to ensure that recurring, problematic and expensive tree costs are minimized or avoided Consider the long-term picture of your landscape(s). Your property(ies) will have mature trees that are healthy and happy for many years to come. They will require very low maintenance and you will have very few, if any, problems. Larger, well-structured trees have stronger branching, much wider shade canopy, lower potential for pests/diseases and will display your landscape as one of the premier properties around.

There seems to be a big problem keeping trees alive in these areas. I've seen several properties with declining or dying trees. Most of them are young trees, just planted within the past 2-4 years. Landscape companies do not have the understanding of trees that a Certified Arborist does and, therefore, proper care is not being given. I know several landscapers and even they will tell you they don't know much about trees. However, they include the trees in their bids because they know that no one knows the difference. They bid the work cheaply, then only remove 2-3 small branches from the lowest section of the tree.? "Trimming" or "limbing" is not PRUNING! That's not tree care! That's simply creating a giant shrub on a tall stick, if it lives!? Now the tree has become prone to disease and major branch failure. Not to mention the tree has been dwarfed and will never grow into it's true form or height. Eventually, most of these trees will die, due to any of several factors, such as: poor irrigation, pests, diseases, girdling roots and trunk/root damage from mechanical sources. Tree Medics also offers 10 YEAR Tree Warranties! When we plant a tree, it's guaranteed for a decade! Can your "landscaper" do that??? Improper branch structure encourages crowding within the crown that becomes a breeding ground for pests/diseases. Would you like to see how you could be saving money on your trees AND create appreciation in property value? Tree Medics offers Tree Care Management Plans that save money and reduce risks. Long-term costs are lower and the improved aesthetics of your landscape will make a HUGE difference in the value of your property. These trees have been pruned properly. Wind and light can penetrate through the canopies, The branches have good structure, are well formed and attached and they will be much stronger to withstand storm damage. Notice there are fewer branches on these trees than on the trees pictured above in the first examples. ...read more
