Safe, professional tree removal across North Georgia — licensed, insured, and ISA-certified.
Imagine waking up to the sound of cracking wood, only to find that the storm overnight finally split the oak you'd been watching all summer — now resting across the fence line, one bad gust away from the roof. Or maybe nothing dramatic has happened yet, just a pine leaning a little more than it used to, or a dead limb that's been dropping bark onto the driveway for weeks. Sooner or later, most North Georgia homeowners face a tree that has to come down, and the difference between a routine job and a real problem usually comes down to who you call.
MMP Tree Service handles tree removal across North Metro Atlanta, from small ornamental trees on a quarter-acre in-town lot to large hardwoods on multi-acre properties in Cherokee, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Fulton County. Every job starts with a real, in-person assessment — not a phone quote — because the right approach for a tree over a fence line is different from one leaning toward a roof. Our crews are ISA Certified Arborists working under a licensed, insured, family-owned operation, following ANSI A300 removal standards on every job and sectioning large trees down with rigging rather than a single risky drop wherever a structure or fence is nearby.
Tree removal pricing varies more than most homeowners expect, because it depends on the specific tree and property, not a flat per-tree rate. The biggest factors we weigh when quoting a job:
A leaning tree, large dead limbs, or a split trunk are the most common reasons we get called — especially after one of North Georgia's summer thunderstorms or winter ice events. Waiting on a visibly hazardous tree is the single biggest risk to a home or a person.
Roots from a tree planted too close to a foundation, driveway, or septic system can cause expensive damage over time, and a tree with a compromised root system is far more likely to fall in a storm than one on stable, well-drained ground.
New construction, a pool installation, or a landscaping redesign often means clearing one or more trees from the footprint — see our lot clearing page if you're clearing more than a tree or two.
Removing a dying or diseased tree can protect the healthy trees around it — some diseases and pest infestations spread tree to tree, and a declining tree competing for water and light can hold back everything nearby.
We work across 27 cities in North Metro Atlanta and know the differences that matter — Piedmont clay soil, city-specific tree ordinances, HOA rules, and which neighborhoods see the worst storm damage each season.
Every crew works under a licensed and insured operation with ISA Certified Arborists on staff — ask any tree company for proof of insurance before they touch a chainsaw on your property.
Large or hazardous trees get sectioned down with proper rigging rather than a single risky drop, protecting your house, fence, and landscaping — not just the tree itself.
We walk the property and give you a firm number before any cutting starts — no vague phone quotes, and no surprise charges for standard cleanup once the job is done.
MMP Tree Service is family-owned and operated, which means the crew on your property is accountable to a name and a reputation, not a corporate call center.

It depends on your specific city or county — some, like Atlanta and Milton, require a permit for most trees above a certain size, while others only regulate removal during larger development projects. We check what applies to your address during the estimate. See your city's page in our service area list for specifics where available.
For a small tree far from any structure, some homeowners do. For anything near a house, power line, fence, or with any lean or visible decay, professional removal is safer and often less expensive than the property damage or injury risk of a DIY attempt gone wrong.
Yes — we run 24/7 emergency tree service across North Metro Atlanta for storm damage, a tree on a structure, or anything blocking a driveway or road. Call (470) 403-0215 any time.
Stump grinding is priced and scheduled separately from removal, but we're glad to quote both in the same visit so you only need one crew, one day. Ask during your estimate.
Look for proof of licensing and insurance, ISA-certified arborists, and local experience in your specific city — tree ordinances, soil, and storm patterns vary across North Georgia. We cover 27 cities and can tell you honestly if a job is outside our normal service area.

"I had a fantastic experience with MMP Tree Service! We had a fallen tree in our backyard that needed immediate attention, and they handled the tree removal flawlessly. The entire process was stress-free. Their team was professional, the service was excellent, and they left the yard looking spotless. On top of the high-quality work, the price was great—very competitive compared to other quotes I received. If you are looking for affordable tree care or emergency tree services, I highly recommend them. We will definitely use MMP Tree Service again for any future tree maintenance or stump grinding needs!"
"Luis and his entire crew did an incredible job on our property! We needed 15 very tall trees taken down to be able to build a detached garage. We watched from our back deck and we were amazed at the precision and expertise they used to take down these 60’ trees. I mentioned to Luis that they all worked so well together and he said that this crew has been together for over 12 years. If we ever need more work done in the future, we will definitely call this family-owned local business."
