Alpharetta's tree permit rule: every live tree
Alpharetta has one of the metro's strictest homeowner rules: a Tree Removal Permit application must be approved before removing any live tree from single-family residential property — there's no minimum size exemption. Dead, dying, or hazardous trees are the exception and don't need a permit (the city recommends keeping photos for your records).
Large specimen trees are approved for removal only when they're in declining health, and the application needs a risk assessment from a qualified arborist. Our tree health assessments are exactly what the city wants to see, and we file the permit before any removal begins.

What we do in Alpharetta
Every kind of tree work, done right.
One call connects you with the right local crew for the job — fully insured, with a spotless cleanup.
Trimming & Pruning
Good pruning is the cheapest tree work you'll ever buy — it keeps trees healthy, safe, and beautiful, and it prevents the failures that turn into expensive removals later.

Stump Grinding
That leftover stump is more than an eyesore — it trips mowers, sprouts suckers, and attracts termites and carpenter ants. Grinding it out lets you take the space back.

Land Clearing
Whether you're building, fencing, farming, or just taking back a jungle, we connect you with crews who clear land efficiently and haul it all away.

Cabling & Bracing
Sometimes the right answer isn't removal. Cables and braces can support a structurally weak tree and buy a beloved shade tree many more years.

Crane Removal
For the giants, the dead trees you can't climb, and the impossible angles, a crane is the safest, fastest, and often the most affordable way to get it done.

Trees we work on in Alpharetta
-
Tall pines over red clay
Alpharetta's subdivisions were carved from pine-hardwood forest, leaving tall loblollies close to homes — the region's most common storm-fall risk when clay soils saturate.
-
Beetles after drought
Pine bark beetles follow dry summers; browning crowns and sawdust trails mean a pine needs assessment fast.
-
Creek-corridor hardwoods
Big Creek and its tributaries thread wooded greenway corridors through the city, with floodplain hardwoods along the buffers.
-
Fast growers crowding rooflines
Sweetgums and tulip poplars planted with the subdivisions now tower over rooflines — regular pruning keeps them in bounds.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Alpharetta?
For any live tree on single-family residential property — yes, an approved Tree Removal Permit is required first, with no minimum size exemption. It's one of the strictest rules in the metro. Dead, dying, and hazardous trees don't need a permit; keep photos for your records. We handle applications as part of the job.
Can I remove a big healthy tree on my Alpharetta lot?
Large specimen trees are generally approved for removal only when they're declining, and the application requires an arborist's risk assessment. If the tree is healthy, expect the city to push back — pruning, cabling, or health care is usually the workable path, and often the better one for the property.
What happens if a storm drops a tree on my house in Alpharetta?
Hazardous and storm-damaged trees don't need a permit — call (404) 602-2998 any time and a crew responds. Take photos before and during if you safely can; the city recommends keeping them for your records.
Why do pines fall so often in Alpharetta storms?
The city's neighborhoods were built into pine-hardwood forest, so tall loblolly pines stand close to homes everywhere. Their shallow root plates in saturated red clay are the classic summer-storm failure — a leaning pine or thinning crown is worth an assessment before storm season.
