Brookhaven has kept its tree canopy at 45% since 2009 (City of Brookhaven). In Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, Drew Valley and around Murphey Candler Park, big hardwoods sit on smaller lots close to houses, fences and neighbors. Those are climbing and rigging jobs, done in sections so nothing hits the roof.

Yes. Brookhaven requires a permit for any tree 4 inches or more in diameter, "regardless of condition" (City of Brookhaven). That includes dead and hazardous trees.

• No fee for owner-occupied homes. Commercial and investment properties pay $25.
• Two-tree limit: you can remove 2 live, healthy trees per 18 months.
• Tree density: the property must keep 130 inches of tree diameter per acre. Falling below that means a replanting plan (permit packet).
• You apply through the city's online Project Portal with photos, a site plan and the form. City arborists review each request.
• Specimen tree sizes and replacement fees are in City Code Chapter 14. If your tree is very large, ask the city for the current numbers.
• Questions go to Community Development at 404-637-0500.

We'll give you the photos and tree measurements you need for the application, then schedule the work once it's approved.

Hurricane Helene hit Brookhaven hard in September 2024, with 10 to 11 inches of rain. A car was trapped under a fallen tree on North Cliff Valley, a tree on power lines blocked North Druid Hills Road near Lenox Park, and several large trees fell along the Dresden corridor (Rough Draft Atlanta). In an emergency, call us any hour and call the city about the permit as soon as you can.

Brookhaven takes its trees seriously. The city employs three full-time arborists who enforce its tree ordinance (City of Brookhaven). Often the best answer is careful trimming that keeps a healthy tree standing, and we'll tell you when that's the case.

Watch your pines. Georgia logged more than 1,600 southern pine beetle spots in 2024, up from 273 the year before (UGA Bugwood Center). Needles browning from the top down and small lumps of sap on the bark are the signs. Beetle-killed pines dry out and get brittle fast, so they should come down soon.
