Tree trimming and pruning encourages air circulation which reduces disease incidence and the possibility of damage from high winds. Tree trimming also removes unhealthy or dangerous limbs that can easily fall in severe weather and allows more sunlight reach your understory plants.
Stumps interfere with your property's good looks. They can also be a danger if not adequately ground down. The most effective and efficient means of doing this is with a stump grinder. Our stump grinding equipment has the additional capabilities to grind and remove tree roots.
That’s right, we not only service trees but shrubs as well! Shrubs can do two things. They can make a property look really nice or they can make it look more unkept than it actually is. If you have shrubs that need to be removed, shaped or trimmed then we are the company for you.
High winds can harm branches and throw debris around, injuring or breaking off parts of your trees, and heavy rains can saturate the soil and can make it all too easy for trees to tilt, move, and uproot themselves during and after a storm. Whether a tree or branch has in fact fallen or is just threatening to fall, WeCutUglyTrees.com provides 24-hour emergency tree removal and trimming.
Not only are free wood chips attractive ground cover, but they provide beneficial organic material to the soil around shrubs and trees, help the soil retain moisture, and release small amounts of nitrogen and other nutrients as they decompose. Call now to get free wood chips delivered to your property.
We make every effort to make sure the information posted below is correct and up to date. A link to the tree ordinance can be found here.
A permit may be required, in some cases. Individual homeowners are not required to obtain a tree removal permit unless that tree is located in a required Zoning Buffer, Conservation or Open Space, the Chattahoochee River Corridor or designated Tree Save Area.
Note: If you believe you have a specimen tree on your property please refer below.
A tree that loses its leaves in the fall, such as a maple tree, is considered a hardwood tree. Any hardwood tree 28 inches or larger in diameter is considered a specimen tree. A tree that is green all year such as a pine tree is considered a softwood tree. Any softwood tree 30 inches or larger in diameter is considered a specimen tree. A native flowering tree 12 inches or larger in diameter is considered a specimen tree such as a dogwood tree. Note: The diameter of a tree is measured at 4.5 feet above the ground. To roughly
estimate the diameter you can measure half the circumference.
The Gwinnett County Property Maintenance Ordinance, effective January 1, 1999, requires adherence to certain minimum maintenance requirements. The ordinance was adopted to promote and protect the public health, safety, convenience, order and general welfare of the citizens of the county. The ordinance applies to all existing structures and premises within the unincorporated areas of the county. Dead trees shall not be allowed to exist on any premises. Upon a finding by a registered forester or certified arborist that a tree is in danger of falling upon adjacent lots or public streets due to the death of the tree, the property owner is required to have the tree removed. Tree stumps greater than 12 inches in height, felled trees, slash, and tree limbs must be removed within 14 days after being cut. Exceptions to this requirement include neatly stacked firewood less than 3 feet in length in the rear yard, property zoned RA-200 and property greater than 1 acre in size.
Violations of the ordinance are prosecuted in the Environmental Division of Recorder’s Court and are subject to a penalty of up to $1000 and/or 60 days in jail per violation per day (minimum fine is $250). To report possible violations, please call the Quality of Life Unit Hotline at 770.513.5004 or click here to report online.
