Peachtree Corners does not require a permit for ordinary trees on an existing single-family lot — but seven miles of Chattahoochee frontage means a lot of back yards are inside a protected area where the rule flips.
Tree services we provide in Peachtree Corners
- 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 Peachtree Corners different
Seven miles of the Chattahoochee form the northern and western city limits, which puts a large share of back yards inside river-corridor and stream-buffer jurisdiction. The core subdivisions — Peachtree Station, Chattahoochee Station, Spalding Corners — went in during the 1970s, so the loblolly pines planted or left standing then are now fifty-plus years old and at the height where windthrow and top failure become routine. The same era’s overhead service drops run right through those canopies.
Tree removal permits in Peachtree Corners
For an existing single-family lot, no permit is required to remove ordinary trees outside protected areas — but you must retain at least two live trees plus any specimen trees on the lot. A permit is required to remove any tree in a zoning buffer, conservation area, open space, the Chattahoochee River Corridor or a designated Tree Save Area, or to remove a specimen tree. Specimen thresholds measured at 4.5 feet are 28 inches and up for hardwood, 30 inches and up for pine, and 12 inches and up for native flowering trees such as dogwood. Commercial, office, industrial and multi-family properties need a permit for any removal.

Peachtree Corners tree service questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Peachtree Corners, GA?
Usually not, with two conditions. On an existing single-family lot you can remove ordinary trees outside protected areas without a permit, as long as at least two live trees plus any specimen trees remain. You do need a permit for anything in a buffer, conservation area, open space, the river corridor or a Tree Save Area, and for any specimen tree — 28 inches for hardwood, 30 for pine, 12 for dogwood and similar. We check where your tree falls before we start.
How much does tree removal cost in Peachtree Corners?
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 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?
Generally yes on the 1970s subdivision lots. River-corridor back yards are the exception: slope down toward the water, buffer restrictions on where equipment and debris can go, and often no route for a truck. Those get rigged and carried out.
