Tree Removal in Atlanta, GA

What Is Tree Removal?

Tree removal is the complete extraction of a tree from your property, including the trunk, branches, and sometimes the stump. It's a specialized service requiring professional equipment, expertise, and safety protocols. Our certified arborists assess each tree's condition, size, and location to develop a customized removal plan that protects your property and ensures safety throughout the process.

When Is Tree Removal Necessary?

Tree removal becomes necessary when a tree poses safety hazards or threatens property. Common situations include dead or dying trees that could fall unpredictably, storm-damaged trees leaning dangerously toward structures, diseased trees that might spread infection to healthy trees, or trees with roots damaging foundations and underground utilities. Trees growing too close to homes, power lines, or blocking construction projects also require removal. In Atlanta's urban environment, where properties are close together, hazardous trees can threaten multiple homes simultaneously.

What Is Required For Tree Removal?

Professional tree removal requires specialized equipment including chainsaws, rigging systems, ropes, cranes (for large or difficult removals), wood chippers, and safety gear. Our certified arborists must assess the tree's height, lean, proximity to structures, and condition. In Atlanta, permits may be required for removing certain large, healthy trees within city limits. We also check for underground utilities and coordinate with power companies if trees are near electrical lines. Full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage are essential—we carry both to protect you and our crew.
