The first photo below is how a lot of Fayette County calls begin: a storm-dropped pine leaned into the side of a house, siding punched through where it landed, every pound of the trunk still live against the wall. If that’s your wall right now, call (770) 272-6747 — a real person answers, any hour, and help starts moving. We’re 770 Arborist Emergency Tree & Crane Service — working metro Atlanta trees since 1997 — and everything on this page comes out of our own job log.
The Log Entry Behind That Punched Siding
A pine through a gable wall gets a job number here, plus dated photos, equipment records, and insurance paperwork to match. Around one Fayette County entry like that, the log — current to — reads:
- That entry is one of 240 documented emergency tree removal jobs going back to January 2023, with storm runs into five states: Georgia and South Carolina, Tennessee and North Carolina, and out to Oklahoma.
- Georgia holds 214 of the entries, and 6 fall inside a 20-mile ring around Fayetteville.
- Arrival is clocked by the first on-site job photo; counted that way over 57 storm calls from 2024–2026, Hurricane Helene deployment set aside, the median sits at 1 hour 38 minutes.
- Helene filled its own chapter: more than 100 storm jobs, worked from Georgia over into South Carolina.
- Outside that Helene push, 65 of the 141 completed jobs since January 2023 rode our own Tree-Mek grapple-saw crane — a machine we park, never one we rent or wait on. (Helene paired partner equipment with ours.)
- Billing closes the loop: of the 240, 9 out of 10 were billed through the homeowner’s insurance — figures from our own books; no carrier endorsement implied. 29 carriers appear in the log — State Farm out front (84 jobs), USAA next (37), Allstate after that (30).
Straight From the Job File
No stock shots here — every frame below is our own crew’s camera pointed at a real job of ours, the kind that rings the phone at 2 AM:
When It Can’t Wait, Think Emergency Room
No appointments, no waiting on paperwork. Our rates come pre-printed on the work authorization — you see them before you sign. Text us photos of what the tree did; we read the job straight off your pictures — which crane, how big a crew — and deploy. More than once the truck has beaten the pizza guy to the driveway. First move, always: get the tree off the house and get you safe. Then the opening gets tarped, and every hour and every machine gets photographed while we work.
No Emergency? Even Easier
For standard tree work in Fayetteville — a planned removal, pruning, a dead pine on your own calendar — an I.S.A. Certified Arborist walks the property with you and hands you a free written estimate.
Tree Services We Bring to Fayetteville, GA
Tree Removal
Fayetteville grows tall pines and broad hardwoods with houses in their shadow — the older streets around the courthouse square, the newer subdivisions off Highway 54, the streets around Trilith. We take down all of it: crane over the roof for the dangerous leaners, climbers and rigging in the tight spots, wood carried out by grapple so the lawn survives the job.
24/7 Emergency & Storm Response
Midnight, holiday weekend, mid-storm — Fayette County calls reach the same 24/7 emergency tree service crew: a live voice, then a truck. Tree off the structure, opening tarped, claim file building before sunrise.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Sometimes the right answer is saving the tree, and an I.S.A. Certified Arborist should be the one to say so. Ours prune for wind resistance and roof clearance — thinning, deadwooding, lifting limbs off the shingles — and when pruning is the smarter spend than removal, that’s what your written estimate will say.
Stump Grinding
We grind below grade so the stump’s footprint goes back to being lawn. It prices best when the grinder rides down with the removal crew — one trip, one bill.
The Equipment That Makes the Trip
What makes a Fayetteville run efficient is what’s on the trailer. Our own Tree-Mek grapple-saw crane — a knuckleboom with grapple and hydraulic saw, operated from the seat — lifts a tree off a house in controlled sections, no climber standing in broken wood, no rental crane holding up the schedule. Riding along: skid steers with log grapples, chipper and chip truck, a log truck for same-day haul-off, and climbers for the precision picks over pools and fences.
Recent 770 Arborist Work Near Fayetteville
Our closest published photo sets sit just up the road — alongside a closed Fayette County job of our own, in Tyrone, from May 2023:
- September 2024, tree service in Atlanta — up Highway 85 from the square: an oak across a privacy fence and pool deck, out in grapple-saw sections.
- July 2024, tree service in Decatur — a hardwood across the front of a house, family SUV pinned; Tree-Mek lift and same-night roof tarp.
- June 2025, tree service in Smyrna — a split hardwood over a backyard pool fence, lifted out over the house in a single morning.
Same crews, same crane — the run down 85 is routine dispatch, not a special trip.
Storm Damage & Insurance Claims — First Photo to Final Invoice
Your claim file opens before the first saw does: pictures of what the tree did to the house. It grows while the crew works — the lift, the tarp over the opening, each hour and machine logged in order. It closes with the invoice, sent from our office to your insurance company with a copy landing in your inbox — collecting at time of service isn’t how an ER runs, and it isn’t how we run.
A file built that way, first photo to final invoice, has ridden along with roughly a thousand homeowner insurance claims over the years. With multiple licensed insurance adjusters on staff*, your adjuster’s questions land on someone fluent in claim files — photos, hours, and machine logs already sorted.
Where We Work in Fayetteville
The historic courthouse square, both sides of the Highway 54 and Highway 85 corridors, the west-side streets around Piedmont Fayette Hospital, Trilith off Veterans Parkway — plus Peachtree City, Tyrone, Brooks, and Woolsey around the county. Up 85 toward the airport it’s tree service in East Point; west on 54 it’s tree removal in Newnan. All of Fayette County, one number: (770) 272-6747.
Tree Removal in Fayetteville: What Callers Want to Know
Will homeowners insurance pay for tree removal?
People who handle claims for a living answer this one with questions of their own: “Down already, or still up?” “What was under it when it came down?” “Whose lot did the trunk stand on?” “Was there paperwork calling it a hazard before it went?” Our staff includes multiple licensed insurance adjusters*, and more than a thousand insurance claims have passed through our hands in this career — long enough to learn that no two policies read alike and no two trees fall alike. Bring us your specifics instead of a generic paragraph: (770) 272-6747, day or night.
How much does it cost to take a tree down in Fayetteville, GA?
Stand where our estimator stands and the price drivers read straight off the yard: how big the tree is, what shape it’s in, what sits beneath it, and how far the equipment has to reach. A phone guess skips all four, so we don’t make them. Scheduled work puts an I.S.A. Certified Arborist under the actual tree, free written estimate in your hand before they leave. Emergency work is sized from your photos instead — hourly rates arrive already printed on the work authorization, in front of you before anything gets signed.
Do you cover all of Fayette County, or just Fayetteville itself?
All of it. Peachtree City, Tyrone, Brooks, Woolsey, and every unincorporated stretch between — the county seat is the middle of our map, not the edge of it.
What is the cheapest time of year for tree removal?
Most calendars say winter — dormant canopies weigh less and the schedule board has open days. Fayette County’s pines amend the rule: a tree that’s already dead, cracked, or leaning costs least in the month you first spot it. Book it that week, because the alternative scheduler is gravity, and gravity routes everything through your roof.
Do you actually have crews working in Fayetteville?
The log says yes: 6 documented jobs within 20 miles of Fayetteville, a closed Tyrone job from May 2023, and — since early 2024 — 15 jobs in Atlanta, 3 in Decatur, and 12 in Marietta, photos on those pages. Fayette County is a standing route; the trucks know the way.
Your Fayetteville Estimate Is One Call Away
Planned removal on your calendar, or a pine in your siding on the storm’s — same line either way. Call 770 Arborist at (770) 272-6747. Scheduled tree work anywhere in Fayette County starts with a free written estimate; storm work starts the moment your photos hit our phone.
*Please note: while we do have multiple adjusters on staff, Georgia law prevents an adjuster from also working as a contractor, and 770 engages its customers in the contractor role.
