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.
We handle everything from small backyard removals in Downtown Marietta to large oak removals on wooded lots near Kennesaw Mountain. Our 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.
We safely remove trees of any size, from small ornamentals to 80-foot oaks and pines. Our 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, we respond quickly to clear the damage and make your property safe. Marietta gets severe thunderstorms spring through fall, and we've cleaned up after plenty of them over the years.
After the tree comes down, we 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. We'll assess the tree and remove it safely before it causes problems.
If you're preparing land for construction or just clearing overgrown areas, we 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, we 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, we've worked all over Cobb County. We understand local soil conditions, how trees grow here, and what the permit process looks like for different neighborhoods and historic districts.
We own the ropes, rigging, chippers, stump grinders, and bucket trucks needed to handle any job correctly. When a situation calls for a crane, we coordinate that too. Having the right tools means we work efficiently and protect your property.
We haul away every branch, log, and wood chip when we're done. Your yard gets raked and blown clean so you're not left with a mess. We respect your property and leave it ready to use.
We 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 we start.
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 we 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 we need 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. We give you an exact price after seeing the job in person.
Based around Marietta, GA, we also take jobs in these nearby towns. Put your town on the form and we will tell you right away if we 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. We 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. We'll give you a time estimate when we quote the job.
We 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 we'll haul everything away. Just let us know your preference when we give you the estimate.
If the tree is touching active power lines, Georgia Power needs to disconnect service or de-energize the line before we can work safely. We coordinate with them to schedule the work. For trees just near but not touching lines, we 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. We 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. We grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level so you can replant over them.
