Tree Removal details →Pines and oaks left standing when a neighborhood was built often lean toward roofs, fences and driveways as they grow. Trimming can open up clearance and remove dead or weak limbs. Tell us which trees you want to keep and what clearance you need.
Tree Trimming & Pruning details →New-construction yards in Locust Grove often have stumps left from lot clearing. Grinding them out makes room for sod, beds or a fence line. Mention how many stumps there are and how equipment can reach them.
Stump Grinding & Removal details →Henry County sees damaging straight-line winds most years, and an EF-2 tornado touched down near Locust Grove in May 2025. If a tree comes down on your house, driveway or fence, call to discuss the situation and current availability.
Emergency & Storm Damage details →Clearing land for construction in Locust Grove triggers the city's tree conservation rules, including a tree survey and minimum tree density, so talk with the city before clearing. Tell us which trees to keep, where the property lines are and the finish you need.
Land Clearing & Lot Prep details →Our Jonesboro yard sells mulch, topsoil, fill dirt and firewood. Locust Grove is about 21 miles away by I-75, so call with your address, product and quantity to check stock and pickup or delivery options.
Landscape Supplies details →Many newer Locust Grove neighborhoods were carved out of wooded land, leaving loblolly pines and water oaks standing close to new homes. On Henry County's red clay these trees root wide but shallow, and saturated ground lets them uproot in storms. Helene's remnants pushed record rainfall through Henry County in September 2024 (14.25 inches at the Pates Creek gauge near Flippen), and an EF-2 tornado touched down near Locust Grove in May 2025. Trees that were edge trees in a forest before the land was cleared are often the first to fail in wind.
Locust Grove's Tree Conservation and Replacement Ordinance mainly governs development. Removing trees from an owner-occupied, single-family lot is exempt when the work isn't connected to development. Other tree removal, such as on rental or commercial property, needs an approval letter from the city arborist, and clearing for construction goes through the city's tree survey, minimum tree density and land disturbance requirements. Specimen trees are designated by the city arborist based on size, type, condition, location or history.
Bottom line: Removing trees from an owner-occupied, single-family lot is exempt from Locust Grove's tree ordinance when the work isn't connected to development. Other tree removal, and any development or land disturbance, goes through the city arborist. Confirm current requirements with your local planning office and discuss any permit responsibilities when arranging your estimate.
