Peachtree City was planned around its trees: five villages linked by more than 100 miles of multi-use paths, with wooded greenbelts behind many homes. That also makes tree work here more regulated than in most of the south metro. Talk with Pro Tree, a family-owned Jonesboro business, about removal, trimming, stump grinding or storm damage on your property.
Our yard at 279 S Main St in Jonesboro is about 18 miles from Peachtree City, roughly 31 minutes off-peak. Call with your property address to confirm service availability for your location.
Most removals of established trees in Peachtree City need a city permit, and specimen trees need a qualifying reason, so start with the tree's diameter, species and condition. Photos of each tree that show its size help the permit application and the estimate. Ask whether your neighborhood is one of the 17 that need an HOA approval letter first.
Tree Removal details →The city does not require a permit to prune trees on residential property. Trimming is often the right call for limbs over a roof, a driveway or the cart path behind your yard. Tell us which trees you want to keep healthy and what clearance you need.
Tree Trimming & Pruning details →Grinding a stump after a permitted removal makes room to replant, which matters here: every Peachtree City lot must keep at least two trees, and if you remove them all you will need to plant two trees at least 4 inches in diameter. Mention the stump's location and access when you request an estimate.
Stump Grinding & Removal details →Trees that are dead or dying, or that pose an immediate life-safety hazard, are among the city's specimen-tree exceptions. If a storm drops a tree on your house or driveway, call to discuss the situation and current availability. Report downed trees on city greenbelt or path land to Peachtree City Public Works.
Emergency & Storm Damage details →Undergrowth can be removed without a permit unless you are in an environmentally protected area such as a stream, wetland or watershed buffer, a tree-save buffer or a conservation easement. Larger trees still follow the permit rules. Tell us what you want cleared, what to keep and where your property lines are.
Land Clearing & Lot Prep details →Our Jonesboro yard sells mulch, topsoil, fill dirt and firewood. Peachtree City is about 18 miles away, so call with your address, product and quantity to check stock and pickup or delivery options.
Landscape Supplies details →The same canopy that shades the cart paths puts a lot of tall loblolly pines, sweetgums and water and willow oaks close to Peachtree City homes. Loblolly pines root wide but shallow in Fayette County's red clay, so when heavy rain saturates the ground, as Helene's remnants did in September 2024, they can uproot in wind. Ice is the other recurring risk: the February 2014 ice storm broke roughly 75 power poles across Fayette and Coweta counties as ice-loaded trees and limbs came down on lines. Bradford pears, a common ornamental here, are weak-wooded and tend to split in storms.
Peachtree City requires a tree removal permit for understory trees 8 inches or larger in diameter (Bradford pears excepted) and canopy trees 18 inches or larger. Larger specimen trees, hardwoods 20 inches and up and softwoods and sweetgums 24 inches and up, can come down only if they are dead, dying or diseased, sit in an approved construction area, pose an immediate life-safety hazard, or must be removed for utility work. You do not need a permit to prune trees on residential property, or to clear undergrowth outside environmentally protected areas such as tree-save, stream, wetland and watershed buffers or conservation easements. Every lot must keep at least two trees, and 17 neighborhoods need an HOA approval letter before the city issues a permit. Applications go through the city's online portal.
Bottom line: Peachtree City requires a tree removal permit for understory trees 8 inches or larger in diameter (Bradford pears excepted) and canopy trees 18 inches or larger. Pruning on residential property does not need a permit. Confirm current requirements with your local planning office and discuss any permit responsibilities when arranging your estimate.
