Safe Tree Removal in Alpharetta, From Quote to Cleanup

What Sets the Cost of a Removal

A removal's price rests on four things: the tree's size, its condition, what it stands over, and how much room the equipment has. A small tree on open ground is the cheapest removal, and a large or hazardous one that needs a crane and complex rigging is the most expensive, because much of the cost goes to protecting what is under the tree rather than to its height.

Tree Removal Permits

Some cities and counties require a permit before certain trees come down and others do not, so the rules where your tree stands get checked before the work goes on the calendar. Removing a tree without a required permit can bring heavy fines, and that is a bill nobody wants after the tree is already gone.

Insurance and Storm-Downed Trees

Homeowners insurance may pay to remove a tree a storm drops on the house, because a covered event caused the damage, and it rarely pays to take down a dead or unwanted tree before it falls. Routine removal is usually on you; storm damage is a claim worth asking your insurer about.

Is Taking Down a Tree Yourself Safe?

Taking down a tree yourself can cause serious injury or death, so a trained crew with rigging should handle any removal near people or buildings. A tree that falls the wrong way can break limbs and cause head or spinal injuries, and the OSHA Tree Care Industry page lays out why the trade treats this work as hazardous.
