Contact Your Tree Expert

We answer calls 24/7 and aim for a 60-minute callback or triage response when operations support it. Physical arrival depends on utility safety, storm volume, road conditions, and site access, so we tell you honestly what to expect when you call (855) 615-0568.

Published Atlanta removal benchmarks commonly range from about $200 to $2,200, with very large hardwoods running higher. The real quote depends on trunk diameter, height, decay, access, nearby structures, utilities, equipment, hauling, and cleanup. We provide a free, written, line-item estimate so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Often, yes. The City of Atlanta regulates removal of many trees — relevant guidance identifies hardwoods around 6 inches DBH and pines around 12 inches — but current city rules, property jurisdiction, tree condition, and emergency provisions control. We help homeowners file City of Atlanta Arborist Division permit applications.

It can, depending on your policy, the cause of loss, and what was damaged. Photograph the damage safely, notify your insurer, and keep every estimate and receipt. We document the failure and scope to support your claim, but no tree company can promise coverage.

Yes. Your Tree Expert operates fully licensed and insured, and our crews work to ANSI A300 tree-care and ANSI Z133 safety standards. We provide current certificates of general liability and workers' compensation on request before any work begins.

Grinding removes the stump and the depth included in your written scope — commonly around 12 to 18 inches — but it does not automatically remove every lateral root. We confirm the grind depth, chip handling, surface-root treatment, and any soil replacement in the quote so there are no surprises.

Move everyone away from the tree, and if a limb is touching a power line assume it is energized and call the utility first. Photograph the damage from a safe distance, then call us at (855) 615-0568 with your address and access details so we can plan a controlled, crane-or-rigging removal.

We serve all of Fulton County and Metro Atlanta — Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Smyrna, Decatur, Dunwoody and dozens more — plus scheduled project work across wider Georgia. Check our service-area pages or call to confirm coverage for your address.

Keep people and pets well away and assume the line is energized — it can stay live even when your power is out. Call your utility first and let them de-energize or confirm the line is safe. Do not climb, cut, pull, or approach the tree. Once the utility has cleared it, call us at (855) 615-0568 and we'll handle the removal safely.

DBH is diameter at breast height — the trunk measurement the City of Atlanta uses in its regulated-tree guidance. Relevant guidance identifies hardwoods around 6 inches DBH and pines around 12 inches, but current city rules, species, condition, and right-of-way status control. We help measure the trunk and confirm whether a permit applies before any work begins.

Not every damaged tree needs to come down. A hazard assessment weighs the failure point, decay, root stability, nearby structures, utilities, species, and remaining risk — and the answer may be pruning, cabling, treatment, monitoring, or removal. We tell you honestly when a targeted prune can save a tree, even when it's the smaller job.

Compare the scope, not just the total: the trees identified, work method, equipment, property protection, permit responsibility, hauling, stump depth, warranty, payment milestones, and exclusions. Ask for it in writing and verify current general-liability and workers' compensation certificates. Our estimates are line-item so you can compare them apples-to-apples.
