Tree removal is not always the first option we recommend.
We assess every tree before a saw comes out, looking for what can be saved before deciding what needs to come down. When removal is the right call, we complete the job safely and with minimal disruption to your property. Our ISA-certified arborist will meet with you to determine the complete scope of services needed.
Green America Tree Care provides professional tree removal that Atlanta homeowners and property managers have relied on for years.
Cities we serve in and around Metro Atlanta include:
Most tree problems don’t require removal. A diseased tree can often be treated. A stressed tree can recover with the right care. Sometimes, there are no good alternatives.
Dead tree removal is one of the most common calls we get. A dead tree doesn’t fall on a schedule. Once a tree stops functioning (no new growth, brittle branches, bark sloughing off) it becomes a structural liability. Dead wood weakens unpredictably, and in Atlanta’s storm season, that risk compounds fast. Removal is usually the safest path forward.
Hazardous tree removal covers situations where a tree is alive but structurally dangerous. Trunk decay, structural cracks, or a root system compromised by construction or soil erosion can make a tree unpredictable no matter how healthy it looks. Our arborists assess the full picture before making a removal recommendation, including whether cabling, bracing, or pruning might extend the tree’s life safely.
Fallen tree removal and storm damage work make up a significant part of what we do, especially after severe weather moves through the Atlanta area. A major storm can split a tree, uproot it entirely, or leave it exposed in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. If a tree has fallen or suffered significant damage, we’ll assess whether it can recover or whether it needs to come out. For urgent situations, see our emergency tree service.
Proximity to a house, outbuilding, fence, or power line changes the complexity of a removal. These jobs require careful sectional cutting, rigging, and, in some cases, crane work to bring the tree down safely without damaging what’s around it. We perform tight-clearance removal routinely. It’s one of the more technically demanding parts of the work we do.
Adding an addition, putting in a pool, or clearing a lot for development often requires tree removal as part of the project. We work with homeowners, contractors, and property managers to clear what needs to go with identifying any trees worth preserving.
Contact us to schedule an assessment by one of our ISA-certified arborists and discuss the best approach. You’ll get a clear estimate before any work is scheduled.
Some municipalities in the Atlanta area require a permit before a tree can be removed. Green America manages the permitting process on your behalf. Depending on the scope of the project, there may be a consulting fee, and we’ll be upfront about that during the estimate.
Once you approve our proposal, we schedule the job at a time that works for you.
Our crew handles the removal using appropriate equipment for the job: chainsaws, aerial lifts, rigging, and crane work when needed. For large trees or removals in constrained spaces, we use crane-assisted removal to bring sections down safely and precisely.
A remaining stump can become a tripping hazard, attract insects, and make it hard to replant. Tree removal and stump grinding are separate appointments and are quoted separately.
We haul away all debris, logs, and wood chips. Part of what we hear in positive customer reviews is that the crew leaves properties clean, and we take pride in that.
We accept cash, check, Zelle, and credit cards.
Tree removal pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. A mid-sized tree in an open yard costs considerably less than a large oak wedged between a house and a fence. Size, structure, and accessibility impact removal. Trees close to structures, power lines, or in tight spaces require more planning and more precise work. Limited equipment access adds time and complexity to the job.
The condition of the tree also plays a role. Dead, diseased, or unstable trees sometimes require additional precautions that affect how the removal is planned and what equipment is needed. Stump grinding is quoted separately. If your municipality requires a permit, we manage that process. Consulting fees vary by project scope, and we’re upfront about that during the estimate.
The most reliable answer comes from an on-site assessment, but there are signs worth watching for:
Some of these issues can be addressed without removal. That’s always the first question to ask.
It depends on the tree. A small, accessible tree might be down in a couple of hours. A large tree near a structure can take a full day or more. By the time we give you an estimate, we’ll have a realistic timeline for your specific situation.
Yes. Tight-space removals are some of the more technically demanding work we do, and our crew is experienced with them. The approach typically involves sectional cutting, taking the tree down in pieces rather than all at once, combined with rigging to control where each section lands. The goal is to take the tree down without touching anything around it.
It depends on the job. Chainsaws and rigging equipment are standard on most removals. Aerial lifts give climbers access to the upper canopy on tall trees. Wood chippers process branches and debris into mulch for easier hauling. Stump grinders work the root crown after the tree is down. For large or complex removals, we use a crane to lift and lower sections that can’t be dropped safely.
It depends on your municipality and the tree. Some cities and counties in the Atlanta area require permits before certain trees can be removed, particularly large specimens or trees in protected zones. Green America manages the permitting process for you. We’ll identify what’s required during the estimate and take care of the paperwork.
Removal takes the entire tree out. Tree trimming addresses specific branches for clearance, and/or the tree’s health or aesthetics while the tree stays in place. In many cases where a customer calls about removal, trimming turns out to be a better option. We’ll tell you which one applies to your situation.
