Tucker's older neighborhoods are full of big oaks that have stood for 50 years or more. As they age, they rot, drop big limbs and lean. That's where we spend most of our time here.

Do you need a permit to remove a tree here?

Sometimes. Tucker requires a permit if you're removing more than five non-specimen trees in a calendar year, or any healthy specimen tree (City of Tucker).

A "tree" is any woody plant with a trunk 2 inches or more, measured 6 inches above the ground. Specimen trees are defined in City Code section 14-39.
Exempt: diseased or insect-infested trees (a certified arborist should confirm), and any tree that "has become, or threatens to become, a danger to human life or property," including storm-damaged trees.
The application asks for photos and a property sketch, an arborist letter for dead or diseased trees, and possibly a survey near the 75-foot stream buffer.
Ask the city about permit fees and replanting requirements.
Questions go to Building and Permitting at 678-597-9040.

Trees, storms and power lines in this area

Hurricane Helene toppled trees across Tucker in September 2024. On Camelot Circle, a large rotting double oak from a neighbor's yard and two more trees took out much of the back of a family's home (FOX 5 Atlanta). Rot at the base, mushrooms on the trunk or a big dead limb are all reasons to have a tree looked at.

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.

Georgia Power serves Tucker. If a tree is on a line, call Georgia Power first and stay well away from it.
