Sustainable tree & chainsaw work
Tree & Chainsaw work for Hickory Glen and Laurel Brook neighborhoods
Woodstock/Hickory Flat, GA 30188
My name is Hugh Kelly and I live on Stoney Creek Rd. in the Hickory Glen neighborhood. I have a full-time professional job during the weekdays, but as a lover of trees, forests, and gardens, I enjoy doing chainsaw and tree work and sustainable landscaping on weekends. By only working for my neighbors in the Hickory Glen and Laurel Brook neighborhoods, I can keep my prices low, build relationships, enrich the local ecosystems, and limit energy waste.
Things I do
Felling medium & small trees that are not in danger of damaging home, vehicles, outbuildings or electrical lines
Cutting fallen trees & limbs and transporting them a local place to let them decompose back into the forest (e.g. neighboring wooded area)
I can also remove the trunk wood and branches from your property, but this is more costly
Moving medium and large logs that cannot be moved easily
Naturally-designed garden beds using free materials, such as logs, already located on your property
Tree identification and tree management strategies, such as allowing smaller oak and hickory trees to grow under faster-growing species like tulip poplars or sweetgums. Eventually, the faster-growing species is removed as the oak or hickory occupies the forest canopy.
Fruit and nut tree planting based on permaculture principles
Pruning & hedge trimming
Things I don’t do
Work on large trees near structures, vehicles, or power lines, as I am not a professional arborist.
Pricing
My pricing is flexible and based on the job. If you call or email me, I can come by your property in person and we can discuss the job. I strive to beat the prices of professional arborists and landscapers by taking small and medium-sized, low-risk jobs where the waste wood can be transported to a local forested area for natural decomposition and return to the ecosystem.
