Tree removal costs in Georgia vary depending on several factors — the size of the tree, where it's located on your property, how difficult it is to access, and whether crane work or stump grinding is needed.
-
Yes — absolutely. Every estimate from Beasley Tree Experts is completely free with no obligation whatsoever. We'll visit your property, take a look at the tree or trees in question, assess any risks or access challenges, and give you a clear written quote before any work begins.

Late fall through winter (November–February) — best time for most trees This is the ideal window for trimming deciduous trees like oaks, maples, sweetgums, and tulip poplars — the most common trees in Cherokee County.
Spring (March–April) — acceptable for most species, avoid oaks Spring is generally fine for light pruning and cleanup.
Summer (May–August) — light trimming only Summer trimming should be limited to removing dead, damaged, or hazardous branches.
Year-round — Dead, broken, or hanging branches should be removed as soon as they're identified regardless of the season. A dead branch is a liability that doesn't follow a calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions
-

-
Yes — Beasley Tree Experts offers 24/7 emergency tree service across Cherokee County and Metro Atlanta.
We understand that storms and tree emergencies don't follow business hours. When a tree falls on your home, blocks your driveway, or creates an immediate safety hazard, you need someone who will actually answer the phone and respond quickly — day or night, weekdays or weekends.
Our emergency service includes our 110-ton Liebherr crane, which allows us to handle situations that most other tree companies in North Georgia simply cannot — including trees on roofs, trees in tight spaces, and large hazardous removals that require precise crane-assisted lifting.
For emergency tree service in Cherokee County and Metro Atlanta, call us immediately at (678) 848-8365. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Obvious warning signs:
Dead or hanging branches (called "widow makers") that could fall at any time.
A tree that is visibly leaning — especially if the lean has increased recently.
Large cracks, splits, or cavities in the trunk or main branches.
A tree that has already partially fallen or been severely damaged in a storm.
Roots that have been cut, damaged, or exposed during construction or landscaping work.
Less obvious warning signs:
Fungal growth (mushrooms) at the base of the trunk — this often signals internal decay.
Bark that is peeling, discolored, or has unusual holes (possible pest infestation).
A tree that has lost significant leaf coverage or is leafing out later than surrounding trees.
Tight V-shaped branch junctions, which are structurally weaker than U-shaped ones.
A tree close to your home, vehicle, power lines, or frequently used areas.
-
Yes — and we'll do our best to make the process as easy as possible for you.
We can provide photos, documentation, and a detailed invoice that your insurance company will typically ask for. If your adjuster needs to speak with us directly, we're happy to help with that too.
One thing worth knowing — most homeowner's policies will cover tree removal if it's fallen on a structure like your house, fence, or garage. If it fell in your yard without hitting anything, coverage is less common. Every policy is different so it's always worth calling your insurer to find out exactly what's covered before assuming anything.
If you've had storm damage, give us a call at (678) 848-8365) and we'll come out, take a look, and help you figure out the best next step.

Yes — and our crane capability is one of the things that truly sets Beasley Tree Experts apart from most tree service companies in North Georgia.
Our main equipment includes:
110-Ton Liebherr Crane One of the most powerful cranes in the region. This allows us to safely remove large, hazardous, or hard-to-access trees that other companies simply cannot handle — including trees in tight backyards, trees overhanging structures, and large mature hardwoods. Our crane operators are NCCCO certified, meaning they're licensed and qualified to operate crane equipment to the highest national standard.
Grapple Truck Our grapple truck uses a hydraulic claw to quickly load and haul away logs, branches, and debris without manual handling. This makes cleanup significantly faster and more efficient — especially after large removals or storm damage.
Professional Climbing & Rigging Equipment For trees that don't require crane access, our ISA certified arborists use professional-grade climbing and rigging equipment to safely dismantle trees in sections.
Stump Grinder Our commercial-grade stump grinder removes stumps completely below ground level, leaving your yard clean and ready for replanting, landscaping, or whatever comes next.
All of our equipment is professionally maintained and operated by trained, certified professionals on every single job.
