Call Get a free quoteMarietta sits in the heart of Cobb County with housing that ranges from historic Victorian homes near Marietta Square dating back to the 1800s to newer subdivisions built in the 1970s and 80s throughout East Cobb and West Cobb. The mix of mature oaks, pines, and hardwoods on these properties can grow 60 to 80 feet tall, and when storms roll through or trees get diseased, they need to come down safely.
Our climate here means hot, humid summers with temperatures reaching the upper 80s and wet winters that dump around 50 inches of rain per year. That moisture combined with Georgia's red clay soil creates good growing conditions but also means root systems can get compromised during heavy storms. Trees near the Chattahoochee River corridor or on sloped lots in neighborhoods like East Cobb and Windsor Oaks face extra pressure from soil erosion and wind exposure.
Local pros handle everything from small backyard removals in Downtown Marietta to large oak removals on wooded lots near Kennesaw Mountain. The crew knows how to work around the tight spaces in older neighborhoods like Church-Cherokee Street Historic District and understands the permit requirements Marietta has for tree work in historic zones.
Local pros safely remove trees of any size, from small ornamentals to 80-foot oaks and pines. The crew uses ropes and rigging to control every piece and protect your property, whether you're in a tight East Cobb subdivision or on a larger West Cobb lot.
When storms knock trees onto homes or block driveways, local pros respond quickly to clear the damage and make your property safe. Marietta gets severe thunderstorms spring through fall, and local pros have cleaned up after plenty of them over the years.
After the tree comes down, local pros grind the stump below ground level so you can replant grass or landscape over it. Our grinder fits through most gates and handles stumps up to 30 inches across.
Trees with root rot, bark beetles, or storm damage become hazards and need to come out before they fall on their own. A local pro will assess the tree and remove it safely before it causes problems.
If you're preparing land for construction or just clearing overgrown areas, local pros remove multiple trees efficiently and haul away all the debris. Common in West Cobb areas where lots back up to wooded conservation land.
For trees too close to houses or power lines, local pros bring in a crane to lift sections straight up and away. This is the safest option for removals in established neighborhoods like Indian Hills or Somerset where there's no room for error.
From the tight lots around Marietta Square to the wooded half-acre parcels in East Cobb, local pros have worked all over Cobb County. Local pros understand local soil conditions, how trees grow here, and what the permit process looks like for different neighborhoods and historic districts.
Local pros own the ropes, rigging, chippers, stump grinders, and bucket trucks needed to handle any job correctly. When a situation calls for a crane, local pros coordinate that too. Having the right tools means local pros work efficiently and protect your property.
Local pros haul away every branch, log, and wood chip when they are done. Your yard gets raked and blown clean so you're not left with a mess. Local pros respect your property and leave it ready to use.
Local pros come out to look at the tree in person, measure what's involved, and give you a clear written estimate. No surprises or hidden fees. You'll know exactly what the job costs before the pro starts.
Marietta gets around 50 inches of rain per year and hot, humid summers that stress trees and create conditions for disease. Our red clay soil holds moisture but doesn't drain well, which can weaken root systems over time. Trees on slopes near Kennesaw Mountain or along the Chattahoochee River face erosion that exposes roots. Major storms have hit the area hard over the years, with severe thunderstorms, straight-line winds, and occasional ice storms that snap limbs and topple trees. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s in East Cobb and West Cobb often have mature oaks and pines 50 to 70 feet tall that were planted when the subdivisions went in, and many of those trees are reaching the end of their lifespan.
Marietta requires permits for tree removal in certain situations, especially in historic districts like Church-Cherokee Street and areas with tree preservation ordinances. You'll need to check with the city before removing large trees on your property, and a local pro can help guide you through that process. Most residential tree removals don't require permits unless the tree is a certain size or in a protected zone, but it's worth confirming before work starts.
A typical tree removal in Marietta runs between $500 and $1,800 depending on the size and location of the tree. Small trees under 30 feet in an open yard might cost $400 to $700. Medium trees 30 to 60 feet tall usually run $800 to $1,400. Large oaks or pines over 60 feet, especially if they're near a house or power lines, can cost $1,500 to $3,000 or more. Stump grinding adds another $100 to $400 depending on stump diameter. Prices go up when the pro needs a crane, when access is difficult, or when the tree is tangled in power lines and requires coordination with Georgia Power. Emergency storm work sometimes costs more due to the urgency and after-hours scheduling. Local pros give you an exact price after seeing the job in person.
Based around Marietta, Georgia, local pros also take jobs in these nearby towns. Put your town on the form and they will tell you right away if the pro can help.
It depends on the size of the tree and where your property is located. Marietta has tree preservation rules in some areas, especially in the historic districts like Church-Cherokee Street. We recommend checking with the city's planning department before removing large trees. A local pro can help you figure out what's required for your specific property.
Most single-tree removals take half a day to a full day depending on size and complexity. A small tree in an open yard might only take two to three hours. A large oak near a house with tight access can take a full day or more. A local pro will give you a time estimate when they quote the job.
Local pros chip most of the branches and smaller wood into mulch that gets hauled away. Larger logs can be cut into firewood-length pieces and stacked on your property if you want to keep them, or a local pro will haul everything away. Just let us know your preference when local pros give you the estimate.
If the tree is touching active power lines, Georgia Power needs to disconnect service or de-energize the line before the pro can work safely. Local pros coordinate with them to schedule the work. For trees just near but not touching lines, local pros use special techniques and sometimes a crane to keep the work safe.
First make sure everyone is safe and call your insurance company to report the damage. Then call us for emergency tree removal. Local pros respond quickly to storm damage and can usually get a crew out same-day or next-day to remove the tree and tarp any exposed roof areas to prevent further damage.
Stump grinding typically costs $100 to $400 depending on the diameter of the stump. A small 12-inch stump might run $100 to $150, while a large 30-inch oak stump could cost $300 to $400. Local pros grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level so you can replant over them.
