Trusted Local Tree Company for Tree Removal Service in Kennesaw, GA

Tree Removal Service for Kennesaw Homes, Rentals and Wooded Lots

The city started out as the railroad town of Big Shanty and grew into a busy college city around Kennesaw State University, with neighborhoods that run right up to the woods of the Civil War battlefield park. That mix means a lot of big trees close to a lot of houses: tall pines at the edge of wooded lots, old oaks in established subdivisions, and hardwoods leaning over rental homes and driveways. When one of them becomes a hazard, you need a tree removal service that can take it down in pieces and leave the yard clean.

Restoration Tree Care is a family-owned, insured tree company based in Cobb County. We take down trees of every size for homeowners, landlords, property managers and HOAs, and we handle each job with our own crew from the estimate to the cleanup.

Wooded Lots and Trees at the Property Line

Many homes here back up to woods, a creek or a stand of pines that were left when the subdivision went in. Those edge trees often grew tall and thin, with most of their weight on the side facing open sky, which is usually the side facing your house. After a wet week, they’re the first to go over in a storm.

Before we cut anything near a property line, we confirm the tree is on your side. If it’s on a neighbor’s lot, on HOA common ground or inside the battlefield park, the owner has to approve the work first. For park land, that means contacting the National Park Service before anything is touched.

Help for Landlords and Property Managers

With a large university in town, plenty of houses here are rentals. If you own one, you probably can’t stand in the yard while the work is done. We can meet a property manager on site, coordinate access with your tenants, send photos of the tree before and after, and give you one written price for the whole job.

The Trees We Take Down Most Often

Every neighborhood is different, but a few trees make up most of our calls in this part of north Cobb:

• Loblolly pines. Fast growing and tall, with shallow roots in wet clay. After a dry summer, they’re open to pine bark beetles, which can kill a tree within weeks.
• Bradford pears. Planted in many older subdivisions. Their branches grow from tight, weak forks, and older trees often split apart in wind or ice.
• Water oaks. Common shade trees that tend to rot from the inside as they age, so a healthy looking canopy can hide a hollow trunk.
• Sweetgums. Their surface roots lift driveways and walks, and many homeowners are tired of raking the spiky seed balls.

Whatever the species, a good crew should explain why a tree has to go before quoting the job. We’ll tell you what we see and what your options are.

Signs a Tree Needs a Closer Look

• A lean that showed up after a storm, or soil lifting on one side of the trunk
• Bark falling off, or bare branches in the top of the tree during summer
• Mushrooms or soft spots at the base
• A pine that is browning from the top down
• Big limbs hanging over the roof, a deck or a parked car

Some of these can be handled with pruning or trimming, and our arborist services can tell you whether the tree is worth keeping. If it can stay, we’ll say so.

How the Removal Works

We start by walking the property and measuring the tree, its lean and what’s around it. Then we plan where each piece will come down. On most residential jobs, a climber takes the tree apart from the top, and the crew lowers limbs and trunk sections on ropes so nothing drops onto the roof or fence. If there’s no safe way to reach it, a crane may be used. When the wood is down, we chip the brush, haul it away and rake the yard. Stump grinding happens during the same appointment if you want the stump gone.

Emergency Help After Storms

When a storm puts a tree on your house, car or driveway, call us. Our emergency crews respond around the clock, and our first job is to get the weight off the structure and make the area safe. If a tree is touching power lines, stay back and call the utility before anyone goes near it.

City Rules and Permits

Not every home with a local mailing address is inside city limits. Some are in unincorporated Cobb County, where county rules apply instead. Before work begins, we check which rules cover your property and whether anything needs approval from the city or the county.

Common Questions From Local Homeowners

A tree from the battlefield park is hanging over my yard. Can you remove it?

Not without permission. Trees on park land belong to the National Park Service, so contact the park before any work is done. If a tree on your side of the line is the problem, we can take care of it.

I rent my house to students. Do I need to be there for the removal?

No. We can meet your property manager or work directly with your tenants for access, then send you photos when the job is finished.

Can you clear several trees to make room for a pool, shed or addition?

Yes. We can take out a group of trees in one visit and grind the stumps so the area is ready for the next contractor. Let us know what’s being built so we can plan around it.

Can I keep some of the wood for firewood?

Yes. Tell us before the job, and we’ll cut the trunk into rounds and stack them where you want. We haul away the rest of the wood and brush.

Do you work for HOAs and businesses?

Yes. Along with homeowners, we work for HOAs, property managers and businesses that need trees removed from common areas, parking lots or along buildings.
