Does this sound familiar?
I cannot say enough about our experience with EastLake Tree Services, from start to finish. James came out looked at our needs was very well informed, professional and pleasant. The quote was reasonable and thorough. The crew was fantastic! They left our home and yard in much better shape than when they arrived and it wasn’t only because of the tree work. We will most definitely be using them again. Thanks very much James and crew!
I have used James and East Lake Tree several times. They are always fairly priced, responsive, and do high quality work. My most recent job required taking down trees and trimming over a pool build. High complexity. It went off without any glitches. East Lake Tree are one of the best contractors, in any sector, I have encountered.
Crew did a great job. James came out before the work began and confirmed the work needed. Crew worked diligently and then head crew member, Humberto, checked and made sure that all worked was complete and that I was satisfied. Thank you!
The Staff was very professional, they did an excellent job cutting, trimming and removing trees for me. After the job was completed they made sure that any/all debris was cleaned up not only at my property but any that may have gotten in my neighbor’s yard as well. I highly recommend Eastlake Tree & Lawn Service.
A great crew, super responsive, highly recommend! They worked their butts off from early morning to night, and on weekends. James and Humberto are names you should remember!

+How much does tree removal cost in Atlanta?
Tree removal in Atlanta ranges from $300 for small trees under 25 feet to $1,500–$5,000+ for large hardwoods. Factors that affect cost include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to structures, access difficulty, and whether crane assistance is needed. Stump grinding is typically $150–$400 additional.
+Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Atlanta?
Under Atlanta’s 2026 Tree Protection Ordinance, you generally need a permit to remove any tree over 6 inches in diameter on private property within city limits. Exceptions exist for dead, dying, or hazardous trees documented by a certified arborist. We handle the entire permit process.
+How long does tree removal take?
Most single-tree removals take 2 to 4 hours. Large trees near structures requiring technical rigging or crane work may take a full day. We can typically schedule removal within 1 to 2 weeks, with emergency removals available within 24 hours.
+What happens to the wood and stump after removal?
All branches are chipped on site. Trunk sections are hauled away. If you want firewood, we can cut and stack it. Stump grinding is available as an add-on — we grind 6 to 8 inches below grade and backfill with the grindings. The area is left ready for grass seed or landscaping.
+Is tree removal covered by homeowners insurance?
Homeowners insurance typically covers tree removal only when a tree falls and damages a covered structure (house, fence, shed). Preventive removal of a hazardous tree is usually not covered. A TRAQ assessment documenting the hazard can support insurance claims and strengthen your case.
