About the company
Get to Know Grizzly Tree Experts
Trees are an important part of Georgia’s landscapes, but damaged, overgrown, or poorly positioned trees create difficult decisions for property owners. Grizzly Tree Experts helps customers understand their options, plan the work, and address unwanted or potentially hazardous trees.
Our name comes from a simple idea: a grizzly is strong, careful, and protective of what matters. That is how we approach your property. Every job starts with listening — whether the concern is a limb above the bedroom, a leaning oak after a storm, overcrowded shrubs, or a stump in the way of the mower.
From our base in Woodstock, we work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, HOAs, and small commercial properties across north metro Atlanta and beyond. Founded and led by Edgar Gomes, our team focuses on the services people search for most: removal, trimming, stump work, planting, cabling, and emergency response.
What we do
Our Tree Services in Georgia
Seven focused services cover the tree problems Georgia property owners deal with most. Each links to a dedicated page with more detail on scope, process, and what to expect.
Tree Planting
We help match species to mature size, sun, drainage, and distance from the house, then plant at the correct depth so roots can establish in Georgia’s clay soils.
Tree planting in Georgia
Stump Removal
Clear unwanted stump material so you can reclaim space for turf, beds, a patio, or a replacement tree. We discuss root spread and site restoration before starting.
Stump removal in Georgia
Tree & Bush Trimming
Remove dead wood, reduce weight on heavy limbs, clear roofs and lines, and shape overgrown shrubs — without harmful topping — so plants stay healthy and structurally sound.
Tree and bush trimming
Emergency Tree Removal
When a tree falls on a driveway, fence, vehicle, or roof — or a heavy limb hangs after a storm — call our 24/7 line. We discuss safety first and what service is possible for your location.
Emergency tree removal
Tree Cabling
On suitable trees with split stems or heavy co-dominant leaders, cabling installs supplemental support to limit movement and reduce failure risk. An honest assessment comes first.
Tree cabling service
Stump Grinding
Grind the stump below grade, leaving wood chips ready for fill, seed, or sod. Fast and efficient when you want the stump gone without heavy excavation. We call 811 before grinding.

Know the warning signs
Not Sure What Your Tree Needs?
Some problems are easy to spot. Others need a closer look. Dead branches, new trunk cracks, sudden leaning, or visible root movement can signal structural concerns. A qualified professional can help decide whether pruning, cabling, monitoring, or removal is appropriate.
Dead or dying trees
Bare branches in summer, peeling bark, fungus at the base, brittle twigs, and thinning crowns can indicate decline. Dead trees can drop limbs or fall without warning, especially after saturated soil or high wind.
Branches over a roof
Overhanging limbs damage shingles, clog gutters, and give animals a bridge to the attic. Heavy or dead limbs above living spaces deserve attention before the next storm.
Trees leaning after storms
A tree that has suddenly shifted, with soil cracking or lifting on one side, may have root damage. A slow, long-standing lean is different from a fresh one.
Cracked or damaged trunks
Deep vertical splits, hollow sections, large wounds, and V-shaped forks with included bark can weaken a tree. Cabling or removal may be appropriate depending on the defect.
Overgrown trees and bushes
Crowded growth blocks light, hides windows and doors, rubs siding, and can create safety concerns near driveways. Routine trimming restores clearance and improves appearance.
Stumps blocking yard use
Leftover stumps limit mowing, play space, and new landscaping. Grinding or removing them finishes a half-done project and helps prevent regrowth and pests.
Safety first: never approach downed electrical lines or attempt hazardous tree work yourself. Treat every fallen line as live, stay far back, keep children and pets away, and contact your electric utility or 911 if there is immediate danger.
Why Grizzly
Why Georgia Property Owners Choose Us
Most customers want the job done safely, their property treated with respect, and the price and scope not to change without a conversation. Here is how we approach those expectations.
Property protection
We plan drop zones, rigging paths, and equipment access before cutting begins, and walk the site with you so everyone knows which areas need extra care.
Clear communication
Reach a real person at (844) 443-0150, ask questions before booking, and get updates if weather or access changes the schedule. No mystery windows or surprise add-ons.
Experienced crews
Safe tree work depends on climbing skill, rigging knowledge, and judgment. We describe the crew and techniques planned so you understand how a large tree will come down near structures.
Professional equipment
Chippers, stump grinders, ropes, climbing gear, and hauling equipment keep the work efficient. We tell you in advance if a tricky tree needs special rigging.
Defined cleanup
We state in writing whether we are removing brush, hauling logs, leaving wood chips, or blowing off hard surfaces — so there are no surprises when you walk outside.
Estimate clarity
Your estimate lists the trees, the work, and the cleanup in plain language. When comparing quotes, ask each company for the same details and compare scope, not only the bottom number.
24/7 EMERGENCY LINE
Emergency Tree Removal & Storm Damage
Severe weather can leave trees leaning, branches suspended, or fallen trunks blocking access. These situations are hazardous, especially when electrical lines or damaged structures are involved.
What to do if a tree has fallen
- Get everyone to safety. Stay clear of the tree, especially if it is touching a roof, vehicle, or wire.
- Assume wires are live. Never touch a tree in contact with a power line. Call 911 for immediate danger and your utility for line hazards.
- Take photos from a safe distance. These help with insurance and help us understand the job on the phone.
- Call us. Tell us the tree size, where it fell, and whether it is blocking access or resting on a structure.
- Protect your property. If safe, cover roof openings with a tarp. Do not climb onto a damaged roof.
Dispatch information
Emergency line: (844) 443-0150
Availability: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Dispatch origin: Woodstock, GA 30188
Response time depends on weather, call volume, distance, and site conditions. We will be honest about timing when you call, and tell you if a tarp, cut-and-clear, or utility coordination step is needed first.
Storm claims often move faster with photos, a written description of the work, and an itemized estimate. We can provide that documentation for your insurance company on request.
Simple and predictable
How Our Tree Service Process Works
From the first call to the final walk-through, you should know what happens next and who to contact.
Contact
Explain the tree problem, location, and requested service. Photos help but are optional. We can often outline the process on the first call.
Assessment
We review access, tree condition, work requirements, and safety concerns — including structures, power lines, slopes, and equipment placement.
Written scope
We confirm the proposed work and what cleanup or hauling includes. You decide whether it fits your needs and budget before anything is scheduled.
Tree service
We perform the agreed work and review the completed site with you. If anything needs another look, we address it before we leave.
Pricing, explained
What Affects Tree Service Cost in Georgia?
Tree service pricing is based on the work, risk, and time involved — not a flat list price. Here is what drives the number.
| Cost factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Tree size | Height, trunk diameter, and canopy spread change labor, rigging, and time required. |
| Tree condition | Dead, decayed, or storm-damaged trees are less predictable and often require slower, more careful work. |
| Access | Fenced yards, steep slopes, and tight driveways can mean sectional removal instead of equipment-assisted takedown. |
| Nearby hazards | Houses, pools, power lines, and neighboring structures add planning and rigging requirements. |
| Cleanup and hauling | Hauling logs and brush, grinding stumps, or leaving wood chips changes the scope and price. |
| Emergency conditions | After-hours or storm response involves different logistics than a planned weekday project. |
We provide a written estimate after reviewing the job. When comparing quotes, ask what is included, who handles cleanup, and whether the company will provide proof of insurance.
Safety and accountability
Tree Work Requires Careful Planning
Mature trees weigh thousands of pounds. Limbs can spring or swing unpredictably. A single cut in the wrong place can change where a trunk falls. Our planning begins before the saw starts.
Risks we plan around
Overhead limbs, unstable or leaning trees, rot inside the trunk, nearby structures, power lines, restricted access, and wet or sloped ground all affect how a tree should be removed. We identify these during the assessment.
Insurance and documentation
Before you hire any tree company, ask for a current certificate of insurance. Request ours, confirm coverage, and make sure the written scope matches the work you discussed.
Specialized rigging
When a tree cannot safely fall freely, sections can be lowered with ropes and rigging. Whether a crane or special rigging is needed depends on the site — we explain the plan during the estimate.
Utility awareness
We contact Georgia 811 before stump grinding. If a tree is in contact with or close to a power line, the utility may need to be involved before tree work begins.

Local knowledge
Tree Care Considerations for Georgia Properties
Georgia’s trees live with hot humid summers, heavy thunderstorms, occasional severe weather, and red clay soils that can drain poorly. Understanding those conditions helps you make better decisions.
Storm exposure
Spring storms, tropical remnants, and winter ice can break limbs or topple weakened trees. Saturated soil reduces root anchorage. Removing dead wood and addressing weak unions before storm season reduces risk.
Mature pines and hardwoods
Tall loblolly pines are common and can be vulnerable to beetles, drought stress, and wind snap. Mature oaks, maples, sweetgums, and tulip poplars may develop internal decay and heavy limbs not obvious from the ground.
Drainage and soil compaction
Construction and heavy equipment compress soil around roots. Georgia clay already holds water, so compacted yards can leave roots short of oxygen. Mulching and avoiding grade changes under the canopy help protect root health.
Seasonal pruning
Many trees are best pruned while dormant (late fall through winter), when structure is easy to see. Dead, broken, or hazardous limbs can be removed any time. Timing depends on species and goals.
Tree condition drives the decision
A healthy tree with a single defect may be a candidate for pruning or cabling; a tree with extensive basal decay may not. We explain why we recommend a particular option rather than defaulting to removal.
Choosing new trees wisely
Well-adapted species such as willow oak, red maple, American hornbeam, and river birch can thrive when matched to the site. Plant away from foundations and lines, and plan for full mature size.

Before you cut
Tree Removal Permits, HOAs, and Local Rules
Georgia does not have one statewide permit for homeowners who remove a tree from their own property, but many cities and counties adopt their own tree protection ordinances. Some rules apply to large specimen trees, heritage trees, buffer zones, or trees on development sites.
HOAs may also require approval before a tree is removed, particularly in front yards and common areas. Historic districts and conservation easements can add further restrictions.
Contact your city or county planning department and your HOA before scheduling removal. We can describe the work, provide photos, and help supply information the local office requests. Permit requirements are the property owner’s responsibility; we do not provide legal advice.

Hire with confidence
How to Choose a Tree Service Company in Georgia
After storms, unlicensed crews often knock on doors offering fast, cheap work. Use this checklist with any company you consider — including us.
Ask for proof of insurance
Request a current certificate of insurance and confirm it if you are unsure. An injury or roof damage from an uninsured crew can leave the property owner with the bill.
Get the scope in writing
The estimate should name the trees, the work, and the cleanup. “Cleanup included” is not enough — ask whether that means brush, logs, chips, and stump work.
Be careful with “topping”
Cutting large limbs back to stubs harms most trees and creates weak regrowth. A reputable company explains proper pruning cuts and alternatives.
Avoid pressure and large upfront payments
Be cautious with door-to-door offers, no-name trucks, and requests for large cash payments before work starts. A legitimate company has a verifiable address, phone, and online presence.
Check the business footprint
Look for consistent contact details across the website, Google Business Profile, and official social pages. Ours are linked in the footer.
Match the solution to the tree
A good tree professional explains alternatives — pruning, cabling, or monitoring — before recommending removal.

How much does tree removal cost in Georgia?
Cost depends on tree height and diameter, species, condition, access, nearby structures or power lines, and cleanup and hauling. We provide a written scope and estimate after reviewing the job instead of quoting a flat price.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Georgia?
Georgia has no single statewide homeowner tree-removal permit, but many cities and counties have tree ordinances, and HOAs may have their own rules. Check with your local planning department before removing larger or protected trees.
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding grinds the stump below the surrounding surface and leaves wood chips. Stump removal takes out more of the stump material, which may include roots, depending on the site and what you plan to do with the space. Learn more about stump grinding and stump removal.
Do you clean up and haul away debris?
Cleanup and hauling are confirmed in the written scope before work begins, so you know whether branches, logs, and wood chips will be removed or left on site.
How do I know if my tree is dangerous?
Warning signs include dead or hanging branches, a sudden lean, new trunk cracks, mushrooms or decay at the base, lifted soil around the roots, and branches over a roof. A qualified professional can assess the tree in person.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house or a power line?
Keep everyone away, never touch or approach downed electrical lines, and call 911 if anyone is in danger. Contact your electric utility about line hazards, then call us at (844) 443-0150 to discuss emergency tree removal.
What is tree cabling?
Tree cabling installs support hardware in the canopy to limit movement between weak or split stems on suitable trees. It is an option when a tree has structural weakness but is otherwise worth preserving. See tree cabling.
When is the best time to trim trees in Georgia?
Many trees are easiest to prune during dormancy in late fall through winter, but dead, broken, or hazardous branches can be removed any time of year. Timing depends on species and goals.
