Tree service in Suwanee, GA

Sergeant Tree Services is based in Suwanee, so we're close when you need a tree taken down, trimmed or cleared after a storm. Call or text (678) 491-1254 any hour, and we'll come look at the tree and give you a written price for free.

Most Suwanee yards we see have tall loblolly pines, water oaks and tulip poplars, many planted or left standing when the neighborhoods off Peachtree Industrial, Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and McGinnis Ferry were built in the '90s and 2000s. Those trees are now big enough to reach the roof. We take them down in sections with a climber and ropes so nothing drops on the house.

Do you need a permit to remove a tree here?

Suwanee's tree ordinance mainly covers development sites. The city's Buffer, Landscape and Tree Preservation Ordinance requires tree replacement on development sites and encourages saving specimen trees (City of Suwanee ordinance).

Call the City of Suwanee planning department before a big removal, especially if the tree is in a buffer along a creek or a property line. If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, check its rules too. When we come out, we'll help you figure out who to ask.

Trees, storms and power lines in this area

Suwanee sits on red clay that holds water after long rains. That's when shallow-rooted pines and water oaks are most likely to tip over in wind. If a tree near your house has started to lean or the soil is lifting at its base, have it looked at before the next storm.

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.

Gwinnett has four assigned power companies: Georgia Power, Jackson EMC, Sawnee EMC and Walton EMC (Gwinnett County). Which one serves you depends on your street.

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.
