ISA Certified Arborist providing tree removal, trimming, pruning, and 24/7 emergency tree service for the City in a Forest and surrounding metro Atlanta.
Atlanta earned its nickname "City in a Forest" for good reason. The metro area has one of the densest urban tree canopies in the country, with mature oaks, towering tulip poplars, and tall loblolly pines lining neighborhoods from Buckhead to Grant Park, Midtown to East Atlanta. That canopy is stunning, but it also demands serious maintenance.
Our ISA Certified Arborist team serves homeowners and businesses throughout Atlanta, handling everything from structural pruning on a century-old white oak in Druid Hills to emergency removal of a storm-snapped pine in Kirkwood. We know the city's strict tree protection ordinance inside and out and manage the permit process so you don't get hit with fines.
Atlanta's heavy clay soil becomes saturated after spring rains, loosening root systems on large trees. When a fast-moving thunderstorm pushes through with 60 mph winds, those waterlogged root plates give way. That's why proactive tree risk assessments are so important here — identifying hazardous trees before they fail saves property and prevents injuries.

Atlanta's severe storm season runs from March through September. Our emergency crews stand ready around the clock with heavy equipment to handle any storm event.
The challenges that make Atlanta tree care different from anywhere else in Georgia.
Atlanta requires permits for removing trees 6 inches or larger in diameter. Violations carry heavy fines. Replacement plantings are often required, and the city arborist must approve removals.
Atlanta's heavy Piedmont clay retains water during rainy seasons, weakening root systems. Combined with high winds, this causes root plate failures on even healthy-looking trees.
Intown Atlanta lots are small. Large trees often overhang multiple properties, requiring careful rigging and precise felling techniques to avoid damage to homes, fences, and utilities.
Metro Atlanta sits in a zone that receives frequent severe thunderstorms from March through September, with damaging straight-line winds, microbursts, and occasional tornadoes.
Many of Atlanta's iconic oaks and poplars are 80 to 100+ years old. Internal decay, hollow trunks, and deadwood accumulation make these grand trees potential hazards without regular care.
This disease affects oaks throughout Atlanta, causing progressive dieback. Early detection allows treatment to slow progression, but severely infected trees may require removal to protect neighbors.
Yes. The City of Atlanta has one of the strictest tree protection ordinances in Georgia. Any tree with a diameter of 6 inches or more measured at breast height requires a permit before removal. Fines for unauthorized removal can reach thousands of dollars. We manage the entire permit process for our clients.
Our emergency crews are available 24/7. For trees on structures, blocking roads, or leaning on power lines in Atlanta, we typically arrive within 60 to 90 minutes. We prioritize life-safety situations first.
Atlanta's urban forest includes white oaks, southern red oaks, tulip poplars, loblolly pines, and crepe myrtles. The city earned its nickname City in a Forest because of this dense canopy. Many of these trees are mature, requiring regular inspection and maintenance.
