The city requires any private property owner in need of tree work to procure a Brookhaven tree removal permit.

The aim of the tree ordinance is to control and maintain its trees as more development comes to the city.

While the city hires its own contractors to plant and remove trees on public property, it does not offer services for any problematic trees located on private property. As such, it is up to the property owner to hire their own company to remove their trees on their property.

The process to get a tree removal permit isn’t difficult, though it’s much easier with the help of Brookhaven Tree Service.

As a company that has done a great amount of work in the city of Brookhaven – as well as Woodstock, Marietta, and the rest of the Greater Atlanta area – we can expedite the process.

Brookhaven Tree Removal Permit Basics

If you’re looking for tree removal in Brookhaven, the process requires a few things of the property owner. Most of all, the tree must be greater than 6 inches in diameter at breast height – which is also known as DBH.

Measuring the diameter is done by measuring the tree at the 4.5″ foot mark from the ground. Should the tree be on a slope, it should be measured from the highest ground level.

If the tree is dead, dying or diseased – the tree is subject to approval or waiver. In Brookhaven, this generally means that the city will require evidence in the form of pictures sent to their email. If you’d like more information, please visit Brookhaven’s tree ordinance code found here.
