Emergency Tree Service
Round the clock response for storm damage, trees on structures and blocked access. A real person answers the phone at any hour, and a crew is sent as soon as roads are open and it is safe to work.
On a tree that is resting on a roof, we take the weight off first with ropes and rigging, then cut it down in controlled sections so nothing drops into the house.
- Phone answered 24 hours a day
- Weight lifted off roofs, cars and fences safely
- Driveways and access opened first
- Debris loaded and hauled away
Tree Removal
Licensed, ISA certified tree removal for hazardous, overgrown or unwanted trees with minimal disruption to your property. A certified arborist assesses the tree before a rope goes up.
Trees over roofs, pools, fences, driveways or power lines are climbed and rigged down in sections on lowering lines, so nothing free falls. The price is set up front and does not move once work starts.
What's included
- Free on-site assessment by an ISA Certified Arborist
- A clear scope naming the method, the equipment and a fixed price
- Certificate of insurance supplied before we start
- Ground protection matting, so equipment does not rut the lawn
- Chips and logs cleared, ground raked, site walked with you
- Stump grinding available in the same scope
Standard removal
Open ground, a clear drop zone and nothing valuable underneath. Felled whole or sectioned from a climb, usually a half day.
Complex sectional removal
Trees over roofs, pools, fences, driveways or power lines. Climbed and rigged down in sections on lowering lines so nothing free falls.
Crane-assisted removal
Trunks too decayed to climb or sections too heavy to rig. A crane lifts each piece clear of the property.
Storm Clean-up
Full site clearing after Georgia storms, including broken limbs, debris and fallen timber. We make the site safe first, then cut, load and haul everything away.
Hanging and cracked limbs left in the canopy after a storm are taken down before they fall on their own.
- Site safety check by a certified arborist
- Hanging and broken limbs removed from the canopy
- All debris loaded and hauled away
- Yard raked and driveway swept
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Certified tree pruning that strengthens structure, removes hazards and shapes growth to protect your landscape long term. The goal is to keep a good tree healthy, not to remove it.
Weak, dead and overhanging limbs are cut back before storm season, and clearance is made over roofs, drives and walkways.
- Structural pruning and crown thinning
- Dead and weak limb removal
- Clearance over roofs, drives and walkways
- Clean cuts that help the tree heal
Stump Grinding
Old stumps attract pests and block new landscaping. We grind them below grade and leave the yard clean, level and ready for grass, plants or construction.
Stump grinding can be added to any tree removal quote, so it is done in the same visit.
- Stumps ground below grade
- Surface roots near the stump ground out
- Grindings raked back or hauled away
- Can be added to any removal
Crane-Assisted Tree Removal
For oversized, hazardous or hard-to-reach trees where the trunk is too decayed to climb or the sections are too heavy to rig. A crane lifts each piece clear of the property.
On the big trees a crane is often safer and cheaper overall, because it turns a multi day rigging job into one day.
What's included
- Crane availability confirmed at the quote stage
- Pieces lifted clear of roofs, pools and fences
- Works in tight spaces and after storm damage
- Normally one day, cleanup included
What's included
- Tree risk assessment
- Diagnosis of decline, pests and disease
- A clear treatment or care plan
- Preservation first, removal last
Tree Health & Disease
Diagnosis and treatment plans for declining, stressed or diseased trees, from a certified arborist who knows Georgia's native species.
A tree risk assessment tells you whether a tree is safe to keep and what it needs. Plenty of our assessments end with a recommendation not to remove.
Land Clearing
We remove trees, brush, debris and overgrown vegetation for new construction, development and landscaping projects, using heavy equipment and experienced crews.
Lots are cleared to the scope you need, from a single building pad to a full overgrown parcel.
- Tree and brush removal
- Debris and vegetation hauled away
- Stumps ground on request
- Heavy equipment and experienced crews
What's included
- Board ready scopes and fixed prices
- Your HOA or manager named on the insurance certificate
- Scheduling across multiple properties
- One point of contact
Commercial & HOA Tree Service
Professional tree service for HOAs, property managers and construction sites. We handle large-scale tree removal, pruning and routine maintenance with licensed crews, on time and on budget.
Board ready scopes, insurance certificates, scheduling across multiple properties and a single point of contact.
Straight answer
What Does Tree Removal Cost?
Height is rarely the deciding factor. Tree removal cost is set by trunk diameter, by what is standing underneath the tree, and by whether the crew can rig it or needs a crane.
That is why the assessment is free and done on site. You get a fixed price, and on the big trees a crane often brings the total down rather than up, because it turns a three day job into one.

FAQ
Tree Service Questions
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. A certified arborist comes to the property and you get a full scope and a price with no obligation.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, with general liability and workers compensation. We can name your HOA or management company as certificate holder before work starts.
Can you reach a tree in a tight back yard?
Almost always. Narrow gates, slopes and no vehicle access are normal work. Where machines cannot go, the crew climbs the tree and rigs it out by hand.
How long does a tree removal take?
A standard removal is a half day. A complex sectional removal over a house is usually a full day. A crane-assisted removal on a very large tree is normally one day including cleanup.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on the city, the size of the tree and whether your lot sits in a protected buffer. We check the current rule for your address during the assessment.
When do you use a crane instead of climbing the tree?
When the trunk is too decayed to climb safely, when sections are too heavy to rig over a structure, or when rigging by rope would take days.
Can you assess a tree without removing it?
Yes. A tree risk assessment gives you a certified arborist opinion on whether the tree is safe to keep and what it would need.
What happens to the wood and the chips?
Chips are hauled off by default, though we can leave a load for mulch. Trunk wood is taken away or cut to firewood length and stacked on site.
How soon can you schedule after the estimate?
Most planned removals are booked within one to two weeks. Emergencies are handled the same day. Crane availability is confirmed at the quote stage.
