We're your neighbors. Hank's Tree Pros is based right here in Sandy Springs — ISA-certified arborists for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and 24/7 emergency care, and the local experts on the city's tree-canopy ordinance and permits.
Sandy Springs isn't just an area we serve — it's where Hank's Tree Pros lives and works. Our yard sits at 6855 Sunny Brook Ln NE, so when you call us for a tree in Chastain Park, Riverside, High Point, North Springs, Hammond, Powers Ferry, the Dunwoody Panhandle, or the City Springs district, you're getting a crew that's just down the road. We know these streets, we know how the canopy behaves here, and we know exactly how the city's tree rules work — because we deal with them every week.
This is a city tucked inside one of the densest urban forests in the country. From the towering loblolly pines along the Chattahoochee River corridor to the old water oaks shading established lots off Roswell Road, Sandy Springs earns its "city in a forest" reputation. That mature canopy is beautiful, but it also means expert, arborist-led tree care isn't a luxury here — it's essential. Hank's Tree Pros is fully licensed and insured, carries workers' compensation on our crew, and every job is led by ISA-certified arborists.
Sandy Springs protects its tree canopy more seriously than almost any of its neighbors, and getting a removal wrong can be costly. As your local crew, handling the city's tree ordinance is something we do routinely — and we manage the entire permit process for you so you never have to.
We take all of that off your plate: we assess the tree, document its condition, submit what the City Arborist needs, and advise you on mitigation or replanting so you stay compliant. If you want the details, our Sandy Springs tree-removal permit guide walks through the whole process, and our dedicated permit-help service covers exactly what we file on your behalf.
The two trees we're called about most in Sandy Springs are loblolly pines and water oaks. The pines grow tall and straight, which makes them stunning — and vulnerable. They catch wind like sails and can snap or uproot in Georgia's summer thunderstorms and straight-line winds, and pine bark beetles can kill a stressed pine fast. Water oaks are the other usual suspect: they grow quickly, produce weak wood, decay from the inside, and drop heavy limbs with little warning. Add saturated red-clay soil after heavy rain — which loosens root plates and topples otherwise healthy trees — and you have a canopy that needs a watchful eye.
Our certified arborists can spot trouble early — oak wilt, borers, root rot, structural cracks — and tell you honestly whether a tree needs treatment, cabling and bracing, pruning, or removal. Oaks in particular should be pruned in the dormant season to avoid spreading disease, and we time that work correctly. When a storm does hit, our emergency crews are minutes away, not hours.
From Chastain Park and Riverside to High Point, North Springs, Hammond, Powers Ferry, and the Dunwoody Panhandle — and every street off Roswell Road, GA-400, and I-285 — we cover all of Sandy Springs. Not sure whether your tree needs a permit? That's exactly the kind of question we answer for free before any work begins.
Because we're centrally located in Sandy Springs, we're also just minutes from our neighbors. We care for trees in Dunwoody to the east, Buckhead just to the south, and Roswell up GA-400. See our full service areas, or read up on the best time to trim trees in Georgia before your next project.
