Marietta is home. Our yard is on Nekoma Street, our crews are usually working somewhere in Cobb County before 8am, and we have been taking trees down in this city since 1985.
Tree services we provide in Marietta
- 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 Marietta different
The hard cases in Marietta are in town. Water oak and willow oak grow fast, live short and hollow from the inside out, and the ones planted around the Square, Whitlock Avenue and the Church-Cherokee Street district are now well past the age where that becomes a problem. They stand over houses built between 1900 and the 1950s, on narrow lots, with overhead service drops and nowhere to set a crane — which is why most removals in those blocks get rigged down in sections and lowered rather than felled. Marietta takes roughly 54 inches of rain a year on Piedmont red clay, so saturated ground plus a wind event is the usual failure mode. Tropical Storm Zeta in October 2020 and Helene in September 2024 both pushed damaging wind through Cobb.
Tree removal permits in Marietta
Marietta regulates tree removal through its zoning ordinance (Division 712, Section 712.08, Tree Protection and Landscaping) and the city publishes a tree removal notification form. What applies to your property depends on the tree and the lot, so we confirm current requirements with Marietta Development Services before we quote. You should not be finding out about a permit after the truck is in the driveway.

Marietta tree service questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Marietta, GA?
Marietta has a tree protection section in its zoning ordinance and a city tree removal form, so removals inside the city limits can require notification or a permit depending on the tree and the property. We check the current requirement with Marietta Development Services as part of quoting the job, and we handle the paperwork. Note that a Marietta mailing address does not always mean you are inside the city — much of East Cobb has a Marietta address but is unincorporated Cobb County, where different rules apply.
How much does tree removal cost in Marietta?
Price comes down to height, trunk diameter, what is underneath the tree and how much room we have to work. A straightforward pine in an open back yard is a completely different job from a seventy-foot water oak leaning over a roof with no room for a crane. We price on site, in writing, and the estimate is free.
Can you get your equipment into my yard?
Usually, and where we cannot we rig instead. In-town Marietta lots are narrow with mature landscaping, fences and overhead lines, so a fair number of jobs here get taken down in pieces over the roof and lowered by rope rather than dropped. We look at access on the estimate visit and tell you then which way the job goes, because it changes the price.
