Tree Service in Marietta, GA
Big Trees.
Tight Spaces.
Handled Clean.
When there is a 90-foot water oak leaning over your roofline in East Cobb, you do not want a guy with a ladder. You want cranes, chippers, and climbers who rig limbs down over the house instead of dropping them on it. That is the kind of tree service we connect you with across Marietta and north metro Atlanta.
What We Do
Five services. One call. Free to request.
From a single hazard pine to a whole lot cleared to dirt, a good job runs the same way: assess, rig, cut, grind, and haul it all off. We connect you with a local tree service.
Tree Removal
Full removal of hazardous, dead, or unwanted trees. Cranes and controlled rigging for the big oaks and pines that hang over roofs, driveways, and power lines. Most removals run $200 to $2,000 nationally, per HomeAdvisor's 2026 guide, and the stump is usually a separate line.
Emergency Storm Cleanup
Tree through the roof at 2 a.m.? Trunk across the driveway before work? If anyone is hurt or a line is down, call 911 first. Then call us and we connect you with a local tree service; ask how soon they can come out, and ask them to document everything for your insurance claim.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Clearing limbs off the roof, thinning a dense canopy so wind blows through instead of against it, and cutting deadwood before it falls. Proper cuts keep your mature trees healthy and off your house.
Stump Grinding
That leftover stump is a trip hazard and a mower killer. Grinding takes it below grade so you can sod, plant, or just forget it was ever there. Georgia 811 asks for 3 business days' notice before any digging, and a grinder digs.
Lot & Land Clearing
Building an addition, a driveway, or a whole home on a wooded lot? A local tree service can clear trees and undergrowth, grind the stumps, and haul the debris, which matters here because Georgia EPD bans burning land-clearing debris in Cobb County all year.
When The Wind Wins
Georgia storms drop trees on houses. Here is what to do when one lands on yours.
Irma's gusts of 50 to 65 mph in 2017 and Helene's 6 to 14 inches of rain in 2024 both brought down trees on homes across north Georgia, according to the National Weather Service. A thunderstorm, the remnants of a tropical system, or a winter ice load can put a healthy-looking pine on a roof, a fence, or the power line to your street.
If a line is down, stay away and call 911 or your power company: Georgia Power at 1-888-891-0938, Marietta Power at 770-794-5160, or Cobb EMC at 770-429-2100. Then call and we connect you with a local tree service. Ask them to stabilize the hazard, cut the tree off the structure with controlled rigging, and photograph every step so your adjuster has what they need.

Before The Saw Comes Out
Four things to settle before a tree comes down in Cobb County.
Most surprises on a tree job come from the same four places: a permit nobody checked, a buried line, the wires overhead, and a pile of wood nobody agreed to haul. Our tree removal in Marietta guide covers each one in depth.
1. The permit
Inside the City of Marietta, a single residential lot with one home is exempt from the tree protection standards (Zoning 712.08), except in the Residential Infill Development Overlay. Kennesaw requires a $25 tree cutting permit before any cutting, and Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Alpharetta all have permit rules for homeowners. Your HOA may want its own approval.
2. Buried lines
Stump grinding and root digging count as digging. Contact Georgia 811 (811 or 800-282-7411, free) at least 3 business days ahead. Utilities mark only their own lines, which usually end at the meter, so sprinkler lines, landscape lighting, and the power line to a detached garage need a private locator.
3. The wires overhead
Georgia's High-Voltage Safety Act requires anyone doing the work as a business to notify Georgia 811 at least 72 hours ahead (not counting weekends and holidays) before coming within 10 feet of a line over 750 volts. Georgia Power will disconnect the service wire to your house for tree work if you call 1-888-660-5890 at least 72 hours ahead.
4. The wood
City of Marietta sanitation takes limbs only up to six feet long and four inches across, and will not pick up any part of a tree a tree company cuts down. Cobb County is on Georgia EPD's lists where land-clearing and storm debris cannot be burned at any time of year. Put haul-off in the quote.
What tree work costs
Source: HomeAdvisor's tree removal, stump removal, and tree trimming cost guides (updated June 19, 2026). National figures, not quotes: height, what sits under the tree, and access move the price, and HomeAdvisor says hard access alone can add 25 to 50 percent.
Why Homeowners Call Us
The difference is in the rigging, not the chainsaw.
Anyone can cut a tree down in an open field. The job that matters is the 80-footer three feet from your bedroom window. Here is what to look for in the tree service you hire.
How It Works
We connect you with a local tree service, who contacts you directly. Always ask to see their license and insurance before work starts.
Controlled Rigging
Good climbers use modern rigging, so cuts are made in the right order and heavy wood comes down under control, not in free fall.
Right Equipment
Cranes, bucket trucks, and large chippers for the jobs that need them. The correct gear is what turns a two-day risk into a half-day job done cleanly.
Storm Damage Help
Trees do not fall on a schedule. When a limb comes through the roof, call us and we connect you with a local tree service. Ask how soon they can come out.
Permit Know-How
The City of Marietta exempts a single home lot. Kennesaw charges $25 for a tree cutting permit. Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Alpharetta each have their own rules. Our tree removal in Marietta page lists them city by city.
Full Cleanup
The job is not done until the wood is chipped, the debris is hauled, and the sawdust is raked. Get that in the quote: the City of Marietta will not pick up any part of a tree that a tree company cuts down.
Where We Work
Marietta and the north metro suburbs.
Every city here writes its own tree rules, and the differences are real: one exempts your lot, the next wants a permit for a 4-inch tree. Each area page covers its city's rules, contacts, and the trees that cause the most trouble.
Marietta
From the historic homes around Marietta Square to the wooded lots near Kennesaw Mountain. A single home lot is exempt from the city's tree permit rules.
East Cobb
Not a city: voters turned down cityhood in 2022, so county rules apply. Big lots, tall oaks and pines, and creeks with state buffers.
Roswell
A city permit for any tree larger than 3 inches across, and a call to Planning and Zoning first within 2,000 feet of the Chattahoochee.
Alpharetta
The city wants an application before any living tree comes off a single-family lot, and an email to the City Arborist before a dead one does.
Sandy Springs
Steep, wooded lots along the river, a permit for trees 18 inches across or larger, and a 35 percent canopy rule for home lots.
Dunwoody
Shaded streets around Dunwoody Village, and 75-foot stream buffers where no tree comes out without permits. Violations can cost up to $1,000 each.
Kennesaw
Pine-lined subdivisions near Kennesaw Mountain and older oaks downtown. The city asks for a tree cutting permit before removal.
Acworth
Sloped, wooded lots between Lake Acworth and Lake Allatoona, where access and shoreline rules shape the job.

Straight Answers
Common questions
HomeAdvisor's 2026 cost guide puts most tree removals between $200 and $2,000, with a national average around $750: about $150 to $450 for a tree up to 30 feet and $1,000 to $2,000 for one over 80 feet. A crane adds about $500, and hard access near a house or power lines can add 25 to 50 percent. The real number for your tree comes from a written quote after someone sees it.
It depends on the city. The City of Marietta exempts a single residential lot with one home, except lots in the Residential Infill Development Overlay and developments with approved tree plans. Kennesaw requires a $25 tree cutting permit, Roswell wants a permit for any tree larger than 3 inches in diameter, Sandy Springs for trees 18 inches across or larger, and Alpharetta for any living tree on a single-family lot. Check with your HOA too.
If anyone is hurt or a line is down, call 911 first and stay clear. Georgia Power says to assume any downed line is live; report one at 1-888-891-0938. Then call us and we connect you with a local tree service. Ask them to stabilize the hazard, tarp what they safely can, and photograph everything. The Insurance Information Institute says a standard policy covers the damage when a tree hits an insured structure, and removal generally up to about $500 to $1,000.
Often pine bark beetles. The Georgia Forestry Commission says southern pine beetles and Ips beetles can kill pines within weeks in summer, that infested pines cannot be saved with insecticide, and that they should come down as soon as the needles start fading to pale green or yellow. Look for small white or pinkish pitch tubes on the bark. A browning pine near the house should be looked at quickly.
The tree service, if the quote says so. Inside the City of Marietta, sanitation will not pick up any part of a tree that a tree company cuts down, and it only takes limbs up to six feet long and four inches across. Ask for chipping, haul-off, and raking to be written into the quote. If you want firewood or chips left behind, say so up front.
It depends on your utility. Georgia Power trims limbs rubbing the service wire on a limited basis and leaves tree removals and limbs over 3 inches to the property owner. Cobb EMC may remove a tree near the service wire that is dead, weakened, rubbing, or endangering the line once you report it. Marietta Power trims near its own lines inside the city.

How It Works
Tell us about the tree. We connect you with a local tree service, who contacts you directly.
Built for big trees over expensive homes.
In the north Atlanta suburbs, tall oaks and loblolly pines often grow right over rooflines. That is why controlled, safe removal in tight residential spaces matters, and why we connect you with a local tree service instead of sending whoever answers an ad.
Ask the tree service what equipment they will use, get the price in writing, and ask for proof of insurance before work starts. The International Society of Arboriculture also suggests calling the insurance company to confirm the policy is current.
