Customer Reviews

See What Our Customers Are Saying

"I highly recommend R&R. Randy came out to look at our 200 year old red oak. He recommended a great arborist to check the health of the tree before coming up with a solid plan on pruning. He and the arborist conferred and came up with a plan to prune the tree with the benefit of our house as well as the beautiful old tree in mind. Randy's brother Pat ran a very professional and skilled crew on the day of trimming. The tree looks amazing and we feel better about it being close to our house. Their clean up was spectacular and they left us some choice logs for our fire pit. Randy, Pat, and the men they have in there crew exceeded any expectations we had. We had two other quotes from two other companies, both had plans of needlessly hacking more off than was safe for the tree and R&R beat them both in price. R&R's knowledge, service and affordability is second to none."

"5 stars for R & R Tree Service. This 2-man crew had amazing skills, not only climbing my 80' tree with dexterity, but skills with saws, ropes, teamwork and backing heavy equipment up my steep curvy driveway first try. They dropped the tree down in steps and took measures to lower heavy branches with ropes and make logs fall flat to avoid creating divots in the yard. They took no breaks, stuck with it till the job was done and cleaned up afterward. The stump grinder came a couple days later. That, too, was a nifty piece of equipment. It looked like a small tank but completely operated by remote control. Beginning to end, my experience with R&R has been favorable. Tree removal is not cheap, but their quote was very reasonable. Sally in the office was super nice and responsive to my calls and emails. Great job all around. Thanks!"

Expertise Matters

Worried about overgrown embankments, blocked inlets, or keeping your retention pond inspection-ready?

R&R Tree Service takes the hassle out of pond CLEARING and MAINTENANCE. Our experienced team handles vegetation and aquatic plant management, tree and brush removal on embankments, debris cleanouts, and inspection documentation for compliance.

Structural work — sediment removal and erosion or outlet repair — is outside our scope. When your pond needs that, our reports flag it clearly so you can bring in the right specialist.

Call us today at 678-482-9994 and let us take care of the clearing and maintenance side of your pond.

Your Retention Pond Maintenance Questions, Answered

R&R handles the CLEARING and MAINTENANCE side of retention pond care in North Georgia — vegetation and aquatic plant management, tree and brush removal from embankments, debris and litter cleanouts, and photo-documented inspection records for compliance. We do NOT perform sediment removal, structural erosion repair, or outlet-structure repair; when your pond needs those, we flag them clearly so you can bring in the right specialist.
Retention ponds help manage stormwater runoff and prevent flooding. Regular clearing keeps embankments, inlets, and outlets functioning as designed and helps you stay ahead of county compliance requirements.
The frequency varies with pond size, local regulations, and weather. Generally, quarterly inspections and semi-annual vegetation clearance work well for most commercial ponds, with post-storm debris checks after significant rain events.
Well-maintained ponds help manage stormwater runoff effectively and support balanced aquatic ecosystems. Regular vegetation and debris management keeps the pond functioning as intended.
Overgrown vegetation, blocked inlets, and missing inspection records can lead to county fines and failed audits. Untrimmed brush and volunteer trees on embankments make routine inspections harder and reduce curb appeal for the property.
R&R stays current on local ordinances. We conduct thorough inspections of the clearing-and-maintenance scope, perform the maintenance work, and provide the documentation your county inspector expects. When structural issues appear (sediment, erosion, outlet damage), we flag them in the report for a stormwater specialist.
R&R has been serving North Georgia since 1987 and knows the county requirements. Our crew is skilled at tree, brush, and vegetation work on stormwater features and we deliver photo-documented reports HOAs and property managers can act on.
Some retention ponds develop aquatic vegetation over time. Managed vegetation can support local wildlife and be composted or mulched off site — understanding what to keep and what to clear is part of a smart maintenance plan.
Retention ponds often attract amphibians, reptiles, and birds. A managed edge with the right balance of native vegetation supports this ecosystem while still keeping the pond functional.
