The March 2021 tornado is still taking trees down in Newnan. Damaged trunks and torn root plates fail years after the storm that caused them.
Tree services we provide in Newnan
- 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 Newnan different
An EF4 tornado tracked through Newnan on 26 March 2021 and took out a large share of the mature canopy in the historic districts. What is left is the part people are still living with: trees that survived but were twisted, had major limbs torn out, or had their root plates lifted. Those trees look alive and are structurally compromised, and they come down in ordinary storms years later.
If your tree was in the path, it is worth an arborist looking at it specifically for storm legacy damage — included bark at torn unions, decay entering old tear wounds, and root plate movement you can sometimes see as a raised crescent of soil on one side of the trunk.
Tree removal permits in Newnan
Requirements for homeowner tree removal in Newnan can vary by parcel and zoning, so we confirm the current rule with the city before quoting rather than assuming. If a permit is required we file it and it goes in the written estimate.
For storm-damaged trees, an assessment from our ISA Certified Arborist is usually what the city and your insurer both want, and we can write it either way.

Newnan tree service questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Newnan, GA?
It depends on the parcel and zoning, and the rules change, so we confirm the current requirement with the city before any work starts and file the permit if one is needed. For storm-damaged and hazardous trees, a written assessment from an ISA Certified Arborist usually helps the process along, and we provide that.
How much does tree removal cost in Newnan?
Height, diameter, what is beneath the tree and access. Storm-damaged trees can cost more than healthy ones of the same size because compromised wood is unpredictable to rig and often has to be taken in smaller pieces. We assess it, then give you a written price.
Can you get your equipment into my yard?
Usually yes — most Newnan properties give us room to work. Where a tree is leaning or has a lifted root plate we will often use a crane rather than climb it, because a compromised trunk is not something to put a climber in. We explain the approach before we start.
