Professional Tree Removal in Sandy Springs & Metro Atlanta

When It's Time for a Tree to Come Down

Sometimes a tree is simply past saving — dead, diseased, split by a storm, or leaning dangerously toward your home. Other times it's outgrown its spot, dropping limbs on the roof or crowding the foundation. Whatever the reason, removing a mature tree in a built-up area like Sandy Springs is serious, technical work — and doing it safely is exactly what our ISA-certified crews are trained for.

Hank's Tree Pros removes trees of every size across Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Dunwoody, and the wider metro Atlanta area, with full cleanup and an honest assessment every time. We won't take down a tree that can be saved — but when one has to go, we get it down cleanly and safely.

Signs a Tree May Need to Be Removed

• Large dead limbs, a dead crown, or no leaves on part of the tree
• A sudden lean, heaving soil, or exposed roots on one side
• Deep cracks in the trunk, or a hollow, soft, or crumbling base
• Fungus (conks/mushrooms) at the base — a sign of root or trunk rot
• Storm damage, split leaders, or hanging "widow-maker" limbs
• A tree too close to the house, driveway, or power lines

Not sure whether it's a lost cause? Our certified arborists will tell you honestly — sometimes pruning or cabling is all it takes. When you want the full picture, read our guide to the signs of a hazardous tree.

How We Remove a Tree

Every removal is planned around what's below it — your home, fence, garden, and your neighbor's property. Our process:

• On-site assessment — we evaluate the tree, the target zone, access, and any permit requirements, then give you a clear written estimate.
• Controlled takedown — in open areas we may fell the tree in one piece; near structures we climb or use a bucket and rope it down in sections.
• Crane assistance — for the biggest or tightest jobs, crane-assisted removal lifts heavy sections straight out with zero drag across your yard.
• Cleanup & hauling — we chip the brush, haul the wood, and rake the site clean. Want the logs or chips? We'll leave them.
• Stump grinding — optional same-visit stump grinding so nothing's left behind.

Georgia Trees We Remove Every Week

Metro Atlanta's canopy is dominated by tall loblolly pines and water oaks — both notorious around here. Pines snap and drop in storms and fall prey to bark beetles; water oaks grow fast, rot from the inside, and become hazards surprisingly young. We also handle white and willow oaks, tulip poplar, sweetgum, hickory, and pecan. Georgia's saturated red clay and summer storms mean even healthy-looking trees can uproot, so a professional eye matters.

What Tree Removal Costs

Every tree is different, so we price each job on-site — for free. As a general guide, removals in the Sandy Springs and Atlanta area average around $600, with small trees costing less and large or hazardous trees typically running $800–$2,500 or more depending on height, trunk diameter, access, and how close the tree is to structures. Factors that affect the price include crane needs, difficult access, proximity to power lines, and whether you add stump grinding. For a firm number, request a free estimate.
