Six things, done properly
A local tree service, licensed and insured, covering residential and commercial tree work across Marietta, East and West Cobb and the rest of Cobb County — from a single branch removal to a full lot clearing.
Tree Removal
Dead, hollow, leaning or simply too close to the house. We take trees down in controlled sections, rigging over roofs, fences and pools rather than dropping and hoping.
See how we do it →
Emergency & Storm Damage
Trees on roofs, driveways blocked, limbs hung up over the yard. We answer 24/7 and prioritize by danger, then document everything for your insurance claim.
See how we do it →
Trimming & Pruning
Crown cleaning, deadwood removal, structural pruning and clearance from roofs and gutters — done to ANSI A300 standards, not topped into a hat rack.
See how we do it →
Stump Grinding
Ground 6 to 12 inches below grade so you can sod, plant or pave over it. Grindings hauled off or backfilled — your call.

Arborist Assessments
Not sure if it has to come down? A proper health and risk assessment often saves a tree — and saves you a four-figure removal.
See how we do it →
Land & Lot Clearing
Underbrush, volunteer pines, fence lines and full build pads. Selective clearing that keeps the specimen trees worth keeping.

Four steps, in this order, every time. No surprise line items at the end.
You call or send details
Tell us the species if you know it, rough height, and what it is closest to. Photos from two angles help a lot.
We walk the property
Free, on site. We check lean, decay, root plate, drop zones and access for equipment — then write the price down.
Crew day
Property protection goes down first. The tree comes apart in rigged sections, never a gamble drop near a structure.
Cleanup and walkthrough
Chipped, raked, blown. We walk it with you before we load up, and the stump gets ground if it is on the quote.
Local crews who know what Cobb County trees actually do
Whether you need a commercial tree service for a business property, a residential tree service for the oak over your driveway, or straightforward tree care Marietta homeowners can afford, it is the same crew and the same standard.
Marietta sits on red clay under a canopy of water oak, willow oak, loblolly pine, sweetgum and tulip poplar — a mix with very specific failure habits. That knowledge changes how a job gets priced and rigged.
- We read the tree before we quote it. Hollow water oaks and root-rotted pines get taken down differently, and safely, from healthy wood.
- Written estimates, no day-of surprises. The number on the paper is the number on the invoice unless you add work.
- Insurance paperwork done right. Photos, dated notes and an itemized invoice your adjuster will accept for storm claims.
- We say no to work you don't need. Plenty of trees people want removed just need deadwood taken out and clearance from the roof.
- Cleanup is not an upsell. Chipping, raking and haul-off are in the quote by default.
- Licensed, insured and free to quote. A free tree estimate on every job, residential or commercial, with certificates handed over before work starts.
What tree work costs around Marietta
Typical metro Atlanta ranges for 2026. Your quote is free and exact — these are here so you can sanity-check any bid you receive, including ours.
| Job | Typical range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Small tree, under 30 ft dogwood, redbud, young pine | $200 – $500 | Fence-line access, power service drop overhead |
| Medium tree, 30–60 ft maple, mid-size oak | $400 – $1,000 | Bucket truck or climbing, tight backyard, rigging over a roof |
| Large tree, 60–80 ft mature water oak, loblolly pine | $900 – $1,800 | Decay, heavy lean, enormous debris volume |
| Very large, 80 ft+ | $1,500 – $3,500+ | Crane work — crane time alone runs $1,000–$3,000 a day |
| Stump grinding | $100 – $400 per stump | Diameter (roughly $2–$5 per inch, most companies hold a $100–$150 minimum) |
| Emergency / after-hours removal | $1,000 – $3,000+ | Night work, tree on a structure, road or utility coordination |
| Lot clearing | $2,500 – $6,000+ per acre | Stem density, slope, whether stumps and haul-off are included |
Two ways to spend less without cutting corners: bundle several trees into one visit, since the crew and equipment are already mobilized, and keep the trunk rounds for firewood — that often takes $100 to $300 off because we are not hauling and disposing of the wood.
Emergency tree removal, 24 hours a day
Georgia storm season runs hard from March through the summer, and saturated red clay lets shallow-rooted pines go over in wind that a dry-ground tree would shrug off. When one comes down on your house, the order of operations matters.
- Get everyone out of the rooms under the impact and stay out.
- If any line is involved, call Georgia Power or Cobb EMC before anyone goes outside.
- Photograph everything from a safe distance — your adjuster will want it.
- Then call us. We stabilize first, remove second, and document as we go.

Marietta tree service questions, answered
The things people actually ask us on the phone.
Across metro Atlanta most residential removals land between $200 and $2,000, with the average job around $750. A small dogwood in an open yard sits at the bottom of that range; an 80-foot water oak leaning over a roof, where every limb has to be rigged down in pieces, sits at the top. Height, trunk diameter, lean, and how close the tree is to a structure or power line drive almost all of the difference. Our written estimate is free and it is the number you pay — see the full breakdown on our tree removal cost guide.
For a single-family home inside Marietta city limits, generally no — you do not need a permit or to notify the city to remove a tree on your own property. Commercial, multi-family and apartment properties are different: those require a tree removal permit application through the Department of Development Services, and city staff issue a decision within about ten days of receiving a complete application. Genuine emergencies do not wait on paperwork. Rules change, so confirm with Marietta Planning & Zoning at 770-794-5671, and note that unincorporated Cobb County has its own tree protection ordinance.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day and aim to have a crew on site within about an hour for anything actively dangerous — a tree on a roof, a trunk blocking a driveway, a limb hung up over a car. During a widespread storm, calls stack up across the whole county, so we triage by danger first: occupied structures and blocked exits before yard cleanup. Call (770) 802-1864 and tell the dispatcher exactly what the tree is touching.
Yes — general liability and workers' compensation, and we will hand you the certificates before work starts. This matters more than people expect. If an uninsured crew drops a limb through your roof, or someone is hurt in your yard, that claim can land on your homeowner's policy. Ask every company you get a quote from for a current certificate of insurance naming you, not just a photo of a card.
Full cleanup is included in every quote unless you ask us to leave something. Brush goes through the chipper, the site gets raked and blown, and we take the debris with us. If you want the trunk cut into firewood rounds and stacked, say so up front — it usually takes a little money off the price because we are not hauling and disposing of it.
We work near service drops — the line running from the pole to your house — using proper clearance and rigging. Primary distribution lines, the high-voltage ones on the poles themselves, are utility territory: Georgia Power or Cobb EMC has to de-energize or handle those. If a tree is resting on a live line, stay well back, keep everyone inside, and call the utility first. Then call us for the rest of the tree.
Water oaks, without much competition. They grow fast, get big, and start hollowing out from the inside around 50 to 60 years old — which is precisely the age of the ones planted across most of Cobb County's older subdivisions. Bradford pears split at the crotch in ice and wind. Loblolly pines snap or uproot in saturated red clay after heavy rain, especially when they have been left standing alone after neighbors cleared around them.
Yes. Marietta and East and West Cobb are home base, and we run daily into Kennesaw, Smyrna, Vinings, Powder Springs, Acworth, Roswell and Woodstock. Zip codes we cover most often include 30060, 30062, 30064, 30066, 30067, 30068 and 30008.
