Tree Removal Atlanta GA

Safe, Clean Tree Removal You Can Count On

From a single dead pine to a 90-foot oak splitting over your roof — serving Atlanta since 2018 with licensed crews and complete cleanup on every job.

Why It Matters

When a Tree Has to Come Down

Not every tree problem can be solved with trimming. Sometimes removal is the right call — and waiting makes it worse.

🌳 Dead or Dying Tree

A dead tree is a falling tree. Once the wood dries out, structural failure is a matter of when — not if. Dead trees near homes and driveways need to come down before they come down on their own.

⛈️ Storm Damage

Cracked trunks, split leaders, and lifted root balls after a storm aren't always visible from the ground. We assess storm-damaged trees and remove what can't be saved safely.

🦠 Disease Spreading

Oak wilt, root rot, and other tree diseases spread through root contact and airborne spores. Removing an infected tree early is often the only way to protect the rest of your yard.

🏠 Root Damage

Surface roots heaving driveways. Deep roots cracking foundations and invading sewer lines. Large trees planted too close to structures in Atlanta create expensive problems over time.

☀️ Overcrowding

Trees competing for the same space grow weak structure and shade out everything underneath. Removing one tree often saves three others.

🏗️ Construction Plans

Pool installation, additions, new driveways, fence lines — most major yard projects need at least one removal. We clear the site before your contractor starts.

Our Process

Simple. Safe. No Surprises.

Here's exactly what to expect from your first call to a clear yard.

We look at the full picture: tree height, lean, structures, utilities, and access. This sets the removal method and final price — no surprises.

Permit Check

Atlanta's Tree Protection Ordinance applies to certain species and sizes. We confirm what applies to your property and handle the paperwork.

FAQ

Common Questions About Tree Removal in Atlanta

How much does tree removal cost in Atlanta, GA?

Tree removal in Atlanta typically ranges from $350 for a small ornamental to $3,500+ for a large oak or pine close to a structure. The main factors are tree height, trunk diameter, and access. Free quotes — call or text with your tree's size and we'll give you a ballpark immediately.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Atlanta?

It depends on the tree's species, size, and your property's zoning. Many Metro Atlanta cities protect specimen trees. We stay current on local ordinances and confirm what applies to your property before scheduling — we handle the paperwork.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential removals take 2–6 hours. A medium tree in an open yard can be done in under 2 hours; a large oak with tight access near a structure may take a full day. We give you a time estimate with the quote.

Is stump removal included?

Stump grinding is an add-on that can usually be done the same day. Ask at booking and we'll bundle it at a discount when scheduled together.

What happens to the wood?

All wood and debris leaves with us unless you want logs kept for firewood — just tell us at booking. We can also leave chips as mulch.

Can you remove a tree close to my house?

Yes — this is our most common job in Atlanta. Trees near structures come down in controlled sections from the top. Our climbers are trained for exactly this. We confirm the approach during the quote walkthrough.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Stanton Tree Service carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and we'll provide proof before any job starts.
