Tree removal rules in Marietta & Cobb County
Good news for most Marietta homeowners: if you live on a single-family lot inside the city limits, Marietta's tree protection standards exempt you — no city permit is needed to remove a tree in your own yard. (Commercial and multi-family properties are a different story, as are Residential Infill Overlay lots.)
But many “Marietta” addresses — especially in East Cobb — are actually unincorporated Cobb County. There, routine tree removal on your own residential lot generally needs no permit either, unless the tree stands in a stream buffer or protected zoning buffer, or the work amounts to land disturbance. And HOAs are the wild card: many Cobb subdivisions require their own approval even when the county doesn't.
Not sure which rules apply to your address? We check before we cut — and handle everything from removal to stump grinding with the paperwork squared away.

What we do in Marietta
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.

Storm Response
When a tree is on your house or across your driveway, every hour matters. We answer the phone day or night and move fast to make your property safe again.

Tree Health
A struggling tree usually gives you warning signs long before it fails. Catch them early and there's often a lot you can do to save it.

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.

Cobb County's canopy
Trees we work on in Marietta
-
Storm-toppled pines
Tall loblollies rooted in shallow red clay are the classic Cobb County storm casualty — after every big summer line of storms, crews find pines down across wooded subdivisions.
-
Pine bark beetles
Georgia's most destructive pine pest targets drought- and construction-stressed loblolly and shortleaf pines. A beetle-hit pine goes fast — removal beats waiting.
-
Historic-district shade trees
Homes around Church Street and Cherokee Street date to the late 1800s and carry some of the city's oldest, largest shade trees — work that calls for careful rigging and experienced hands.
-
Mixed hardwood canopy
Water oaks, southern red oaks, tulip poplars, and sweetgums fill out Marietta's canopy — fast growers that need regular pruning to stay safe over roofs and drives.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Marietta?
For most homeowners, no. Single-family lots inside the city are exempt from Marietta's tree protection standards, and unincorporated Cobb County generally doesn't require a permit for routine removal on residential lots — unless the tree is in a stream buffer or protected buffer zone. Check your HOA covenants though; many Cobb subdivisions have their own rules. We verify what applies before work begins.
How do I know if my address is City of Marietta or unincorporated Cobb?
Lots of “Marietta” mailing addresses — most of East Cobb, for example — are actually unincorporated Cobb County, which has its own rules. Your property tax bill says which one you're in, and we double-check as part of the free estimate.
Why do so many pines fall in Marietta storms?
Loblolly pines grow tall and fast in Georgia red clay, but their root plates stay relatively shallow. When summer storms hit saturated ground, wind can tip a whole tree. If a pine near your house leans, sheds green needles, or shows beetle sawdust, have it assessed sooner rather than later.
Can you grind the stump after a removal in Marietta?
Yes — most removals here are quoted with stump grinding included or as an easy add-on, and crews typically return within days to grind the stump below grade so you can replant or re-sod.
