Tree service in Hamilton Mill, GA

We remove and trim trees in Hamilton Mill and the neighborhoods around it between Buford and Dacula. Call or text (678) 491-1254 for a free written price, any hour for storm damage.

Hamilton Mill isn't a city. It's an unincorporated part of Gwinnett with Buford and Dacula mailing addresses, so county rules apply. Many homes here back up to wooded common areas and creeks, with tall pines along the back property line.

Do you need a permit to remove a tree here?

Usually no. In unincorporated Gwinnett, "individual homeowners are not required to obtain a permit/permission unless that tree is located in a required Zoning Buffer" (Gwinnett County).

  • A permit is also needed for trees in a stream buffer, conservation or open space area, the Chattahoochee River Corridor, a tree save area or a street tree.
  • You must keep at least two live trees on your lot.
  • Questions go to Gwinnett Planning and Development at 678-518-6000.

Many Hamilton Mill neighborhoods also have an HOA that may want to approve removals. Check before we schedule.

Trees, storms and power lines in this area

Back-lot pines next to common areas and creeks are the most common call here. A tree near a creek may be in a stream buffer, so tell us when you 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.

Unincorporated Gwinnett is split among Georgia Power, Jackson EMC, Sawnee EMC and Walton EMC (Gwinnett County).

If Jackson EMC is your power company, it keeps a right-of-way of 15 feet on each side of its lines and trims them on a four-year cycle. It tells members never to trim a tree that touches a line and to call 1-800-462-3691 for an inspection (Jackson EMC).

Lines that run pole to pole belong to the power company. Don't trim near them yourself and don't let anyone else. Call the number on your power bill first. Once the line is safe, we handle the rest of the tree.
