Tree removal becomes important when trees create overcrowding, damage structures, or hamper new construction. It is a job best done by specialists to avoid any harm to property or people. We provide a complete range of tree removal services at competitive prices. Our team has the training and equipment to get your job done safely, quickly and efficiently.
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.
A Tree Removal Permit is required for the removal of:
If a hardwood or pine tree is less that 18″ DBH, or a Dogwood or Redbud tree is less than 10″ DBH, AND not located in a stream buffer, AND your property is not in the River Corridor, you do not need a permit.
A tree removal permit is not required if the tree is dead, dying, or hazardous. However, you must notify the City Arborist at arborist@sandyspringsga.gov with evidence in the form of a report or pictures.
*Please note that a hazardous tree is an objective determination made by an individual qualified in hazard analysis and tree risk. Our City Arborist will determine tree condition solely based on a visual inspection. For a full evaluation you should contact a private arborist.
Diameter at Breast Height, or DBH, is a standard method of expressing the diameter of a tree trunk. To find out a tree’s DBH, measure the diameter of the tree trunk at a height of 4.5 feet from the ground. If the tree is on a slope, measure from the highest ground level.
Homeowners, property owners, and/or commercial tree removal company representatives can apply for a tree removal permit.
There is no tree removal permit application to fill out. Your request should include documentation showing the location, species, and approximate size of all existing trees noting the trees to be removed. Photos can be submitted along with the request.
Please submit request to: arborist@sandyspringsga.gov
There is no fee for a tree removal permit.
The only associated cost is when you have canopy recompense requirements for tree removals that bring your site under the minimum canopy requirements and mitigation costs for replanting trees. Residential properties must maintain a minimum canopy coverage of 35%, made up of Protected Trees while 40% is required for non-residential properties.
The following are considered Landmark Trees in Sandy Springs if they are in fair or better condition:
Landmark Trees must be replaced at 150% of the lost canopy. The compensation for the lost Tree Canopy is calculated on a square foot basis. If, however, the City Arborist determines that replacement is not practical, then payment may be made into the Sandy Springs Tree Bank in lieu of planting trees.
Determining the Condition of a Tree: Please consult with a private arborist.
Canopy mitigation and recompense is the replacement of lost tree canopy through the planting of new trees on the property of comparable canopy potential and payment into the Sandy Springs Tree Bank.
When the proposed tree removal causes the site to go below the minimum canopy coverage requirements, the applicant must pay into the City’s Tree Fund and replant new trees to bring the site into compliance.
Trees planted to meet canopy cover standards must be maintained for three full growing seasons.
Calculating Canopy Coverage:
Canopy is determined by general assignment. All Protected Trees (18” in diameter and larger) count towards 1,000 square feet of canopy coverage. Landmark Trees and Protected Boundary Trees can receive extra credit at 1,250 square feet. For assistance with calculating Canopy Coverage, please contact a City Arborist.
