Many Chamblee yards have big oaks, poplars and pines standing close to the house. Chamblee protects big trees with its own rules, so we check the size of each tree before we quote. A climber takes big trees down from the top in sections and lowers the pieces with ropes, so nothing drops on the roof.

Sometimes. On a developed single-family lot you can remove up to five non-specimen trees per calendar year without a permit. More than five, or any specimen tree, needs a permit (City of Chamblee).

• Specimen trees: hardwoods like oak, poplar and sweetgum at 24 inches across or more; softwoods like pine and cedar at 30 inches or more; understory trees like dogwood and redbud at 4 inches or more. Measure the trunk 4.5 feet up.
• Hazardous specimen trees still need a permit. For any specimen tree, the city wants a statement from a certified arborist or registered landscape architect.
• Tree density: residential lots must keep trees adding up to at least 50 inches of trunk diameter per acre.
• Public notice: once permitted, a city sign must be posted at least 5 days before removal, and the trees get marked with ribbon.
• Review usually takes one to three business days. Questions go to Planning and Development at 770-986-5010.

If you have a big oak or pine near the house, we'll measure it with you so you know whether it counts as a specimen tree before you apply.

Heavy rain and wind bring big trees down in Chamblee. In April 2018, a large tree crashed onto a home on Deacon Lane after a night of storms. The woman who lives there was not home at the time (FOX 5 Atlanta). Soaked ground plus wind is when shallow or rotting roots let go, so a lean that gets worse after rain is a reason to call.

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.
