East Point runs its own electric utility and its own danger-tree program, which makes it one of the few cities in the metro where knowing who to call actually saves you money.
Tree services we provide in East Point
- Tree removal — hazardous, dead, storm-damaged or in-the-way trees, including crane-assisted and tight-access removals.
- Tree trimming and pruning — crown thinning, deadwooding and clearance from roofs, drives and lines, cut to ISA standards rather than topped.
- Stump grinding — ground below grade with surface roots taken out, cleaned up and the grade restored.
- Storm damage response — trees on structures, blocked driveways, hangers and split leaders.
- Tree health diagnostics — an ISA Certified Arborist diagnoses decline, pests and disease and writes a treatment plan instead of guessing.
- Cabling and bracing — structural support for split trunks, weak unions and heavy horizontal limbs worth saving.
- Lot and land clearing — selective or full clearing for building, drainage or reclaiming overgrown ground.
What makes tree work in East Point different
East Point has a lot of mature hardwood over pre-war and mid-century housing stock in Jefferson Park, Conley Hills and Egan Park. The trees are the reason those neighbourhoods look the way they do and they are also the reason we get called after every serious storm. Water oaks and willow oaks that went in decades ago are now in the failure window, and the ones leaning over a driveway are the ones worth an arborist’s look before the next wind event.
The utility situation is the local detail people miss. East Point owns and operates its own electric system, East Point Power, rather than being served by Georgia Power. If a limb is into a primary line, the line clearance request goes to the city, not to the usual utility number. We tell you which call to make.
Tree removal permits in East Point
East Point requires a tree removal permit. The published fee is $75 for one to five trees. We confirm the current fee and requirement with the city, pull the permit and build it into the written estimate rather than adding it later.
The city also funds a Danger Tree Removal program — roughly $1.4 million allocated — aimed at hazardous trees. If your tree may qualify, it is worth asking before you pay for it privately, and we will say so if we think it applies.

East Point tree service questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in East Point, GA?
Yes. East Point requires a tree removal permit, with a published fee of $75 for one to five trees. We confirm the current requirement with the city, file the permit and include the cost in your written estimate. East Point also runs a funded Danger Tree Removal program, so if your tree is a genuine hazard it is worth checking whether the city will handle it.
How much does tree removal cost in East Point?
Height, trunk diameter, what is underneath and how much room we have to work. East Point lots are often narrow with the big trees between the house and the street, which means rigging rather than felling. The permit fee is a known cost we add up front rather than surprising you with it.
Can you get your equipment into my yard?
Usually. Where a driveway or side yard will not take a truck we work off the street with a crane or bring in compact track equipment. If a limb is tangled in a power line we stop and get East Point Power out first — the city runs its own electric utility, so that call goes to them.
