Fayetteville says not to cut trees without a tree-cutting permit in hand. The city's application asks for photos of each tree and the property, a site plan showing the trees to be removed, certification that they're on your property, and may require a professional arborist's appraisal. Discuss who will prepare the application when arranging your estimate.
Tree Removal details →Bradford pears are common in Fayetteville yards and split easily in wind and ice. Structural pruning or removal are both options. Tell us which trees you want to keep and what's beneath them.
Tree Trimming & Pruning details →After a permitted removal, grinding the stump below grade makes room for lawn, beds or a replacement tree. Mention how many stumps there are and how equipment can reach them.
Stump Grinding & Removal details →Fayette County took heavy damage in the February 2014 ice storm, which broke roughly 75 power poles across Fayette and Coweta. If a storm drops a tree on your home, call to discuss the situation and current availability, and ask the city how its permit rules apply to storm-damaged trees.
Emergency & Storm Damage details →Clearing land in Fayetteville falls under the city's tree permit and development rules in the Unified Development Ordinance (Section 403). Tell us what you want cleared and kept, and confirm requirements with Planning & Zoning first.
Land Clearing & Lot Prep details →Our Jonesboro yard sells mulch, topsoil, fill dirt and firewood about 9 miles from Fayetteville. Call with your address, product and quantity to check stock and pickup or delivery options.
Landscape Supplies details →Fayetteville's tree-lined neighborhoods — from the historic square to the new walkable lots at Town at Trilith and the subdivisions near Lake Peachtree — carry mature hardwoods worth protecting. Fayette County sits right next to the National Weather Service's Peachtree City office and takes the same severe-storm punishment as the rest of the south metro: the 2014 ice storm broke roughly 75 power poles across Fayette and Coweta as iced trees came down on lines, and Helene's 2024 rains flooded the Line Creek and Flint River basins. Proactive pruning of weak-crotched trees (Bradford pears especially) pays off.
Fayetteville's rules are stricter than most of its neighbors'. Under the city's current (2023) Unified Development Ordinance, a tree-cutting permit is required before removal, even on residential property. The application calls for photos and a site plan, and may require a professional arborist's appraisal of the tree. Dead, diseased, or infested trees are allowed but still need Georgia Forestry Commission or arborist documentation. Before arranging removal, check current requirements with your local planning office. Discuss who will handle any permits, documentation and fees when arranging your estimate.
Bottom line: Fayetteville requires a tree-cutting permit BEFORE removing trees — the current (2023 UDO) permit applies citywide, including residential, and asks for photos and a site plan, and may require an arborist's appraisal. Dead, diseased, or infested trees are allowed with Georgia Forestry Commission or certified-arborist proof. Confirm current requirements with your local planning office and discuss any permit responsibilities when arranging your estimate.
Specific requirements vary. Check with the local planning office before arranging removal.
