Your Neighborhood Arborist
A Certified Arborist brings the knowledge and experience to understand what your trees need — not just what can be cut. Family owned and operated, Bent River Tree Care is here to help you make the right decisions for your trees and your property.
What we do
Tree health & plant health care
Healthy trees deserve care too. We diagnose problems when something isn’t right, but Plant Health Care isn’t just about treating struggling trees. Soil care, fertilization and growth regulator treatments can improve root development, foliage, flowering and overall vitality while helping valuable trees stay healthy and beautiful for years to come.
Read morePruning & trimming
Good pruning should solve problems, not create new ones. Thoughtful pruning can improve structure, reduce unnecessary weight, provide clearance, remove deadwood and help maintain the health and appearance of your trees. Every cut should have a reason and support what you’re trying to accomplish with the tree and your property.
Read moreTree removal & stump grinding
Sometimes removal is the right answer. Dead or declining trees, structural concerns, storm damage, or simply the wrong tree in the wrong place can make removal the safest or most practical solution. When a tree needs to come down, our focus is removing it safely while protecting your home, lawn, landscaping and the rest of your property. Stump grinding is available when you want to reclaim the space afterward.
Read moreBrush clearing & bush-hogging
Privet, briars and scrub take over fast. We take it back. We clear unwanted brush, undergrowth and invasive plants while working around the trees and landscape you want to keep, helping turn overgrown areas back into usable, manageable property.
Read moreFirewood — split & delivered
Good wood shouldn’t go to waste. Hardwood from our local tree work is processed, seasoned and split into firewood for use right here in our community. We deliver directly to your home and can stack it where accessible.

Why the certification matters
Knowledge helps you make better decisions about your property.
An ISA Certified Arborist has demonstrated knowledge in tree biology, diagnosis, pruning, tree risk, soil management and other areas of professional tree care, with continuing education required to maintain the credential.
That knowledge helps us look at more than just the tree in front of us. We consider the tree, its health and structure, the surrounding landscape, and what you’re trying to accomplish with the property. From there, we can explain what we see, walk you through the options, and help you make an informed decision about what makes the most sense.
What the neighbors say
Most of our work arrives by word of mouth.
Somebody’s neighbor tells them to call Kevin. That is still how most of it happens.
David G.Rated 5 out of 5.Google “I had some trees that I was concerned about and wanted a certified arborist to take a look at them. Kevin told me that only one should be a concern and explained why.”
Scott H.Rated 5 out of 5.Google “Kevin and his team at Bent River Tree Care were FANTASTIC today in removing a massive dying pine tree (lightning strike). They brought it down piece by piece slowly and saved our nearby treehouse!! Very fair price, highly skilled climbers, great equipment, etc.”
B. O. · Peachtree CornersNextdoor “Kevin and his team handled everything – getting the tree removal permit from the City of Peachtree Corners, the actual tree removal, and getting the buried utility lines marked to grind the tree stump. His team was thorough and efficient and left our yard cleared of all debris without any damage to existing landscape.”
Darlene W.Rated 5 out of 5.Google “Bent River is a very professional company. They quickly provided me with a quote and proof of insurance. I was extremely pleased with their work and they left my yard in great shape.”
W. N. · LilburnNextdoor “Had to have around 20 trees removed as part of an annoyingly large septic project. … Kevin was very friendly and communicative from start to finish. He and his team showed up when he said they would and got straight to work. Finished up in about 2.5 days which is amazing for how big the job was.”
A. M. · Stone MountainNextdoor “He delivered a truck load of firewood the afternoon before the temps drop to below zero. He stacked the firewood in my garage and was on his way. Will definitely contact him for future orders.”
