Sandy Springs, GA – For many homeowners in Sandy Springs, a backyard deck or stone patio is a significant investment, often costing $25,000 to $50,000. However, when large, overhanging trees are left unmanaged, they can quickly turn these outdoor sanctuaries into maintenance nightmares.

Trees Plus LTD is highlighting its specialized tree removal services as a critical home-preservation strategy, helping residents protect their expensive wood and composite decking from the permanent staining and structural decay caused by falling sap and organic debris.
"People don't realize how much damage a single sappy pine or messy oak can do to a high-end deck," says Nick Sanchez, Owner of Trees Plus LTD. "Once sap hits your wood or pavers, it bonds to the surface and traps moisture. You aren't just looking at a sticky mess; you're looking at the beginning of wood rot and stone erosion. Our tree service is about removing the source of the problem before you have to replace the entire structure."

The Invisible Cost of Overhanging Canopies
In the humid climate of Sandy Springs, a dense canopy over a deck does more than provide shade - it creates a "micro-trap" for moisture. Trees constantly shed organic matter, including sap, pollen, and leaves, which settle into the gaps between deck boards. This debris holds water against the wood, accelerating the growth of mold and fungi that cause structural rot.
Even composite decks are not immune, as hardened sap can cause permanent discoloration that pressure washing cannot entirely remove. Strategic tree removal eliminates the constant rain of debris, allowing the sun to dry the deck and extend its lifespan.
"We see it every week - a beautiful ipe or cedar deck that is literally rotting from the top down because of a leaning tree," explains Sanchez. "By the time you see the soft spots, the damage is already done. We help homeowners decide which trees are worth the shade and which ones are simply too expensive to keep based on the damage they cause to the home's infrastructure."
Surgical Removal to Protect the Investment
Removing a large tree over an existing deck requires extreme precision to avoid "impact damage" from falling limbs. Trees Plus LTD specializes in technical rigging and crane-assisted removals to lift sections of the tree away from the structure without ever touching the deck surface. This "zero-impact" approach ensures that the tree removal process is safe and clean, leaving the patio or deck in pristine condition.
