Two trunks are lying across the backyard playset, the rails are splintered, and your phone is in your hand. That exact scene sits in our job log — it’s the last frame in the photo set below. Call (770) 272-6747 — a real person answers, any hour, and help starts moving. This is 770 Arborist Emergency Tree & Crane Service: working Atlanta-area trees since 1997, with 59 documented emergency jobs within 20 miles of East Point since January 2023.
When it can’t wait, we run like the emergency room runs. No appointments, no paperwork queue. Our rates come pre-printed on the work authorization — you see them before you sign. Send us photos of the playset, the roofline, the fence — we read the job straight off your pictures, match the right crane and crew, and deploy. Some afternoons we’ve beaten the pizza delivery to the driveway. First move: get the tree off and get your family safe, every hour and machine documented as we go.
No emergency? Even easier. For standard tree work in East Point, an I.S.A. Certified Arborist walks the yard with you — a free written estimate.
What the Photo Dates Prove
Every emergency call leaves a trail of timestamped job photos behind it, and those dates add up to numbers nobody takes on faith. The count as of :
- The trail opens in January 2023 and runs 240 documented emergency tree removal jobs deep, with storm deployments photographed in five states — Georgia and South Carolina, plus Tennessee, North Carolina, and Oklahoma.
- Georgia holds 214 of those entries, and 59 of them were shot within 20 miles of East Point.
- The first frame on a storm call is the crew arriving — those arrival shots put the median wait for a crew on site at 1 hour 38 minutes, counted over 57 storm calls from 2024–2026 with the Hurricane Helene deployment left out.
- Helene fills its own folder: more than 100 storm jobs photographed across Georgia and South Carolina.
- Follow the paperwork clipped to those photos, and 9 out of 10 of the 240 ran through the homeowner’s insurance — counts straight from our books; no carrier endorsement implied. 29 carriers appear in the file, State Farm most often (84 jobs), with USAA at 37 and Allstate at 30.
From Our Job Log
The playset from the opening paragraph waits at the end of this set — each image shot on site by 770 Arborist crews, pulled straight out of our job files, zero stock photography:
Tree Services We Provide in East Point, GA
Tree Removal
Jefferson Park, Colonial Hills, and Conley Hills carry housing stock from the early 1900s through mid-century, and the oaks out front are often older still — big trunks, short setbacks, tight driveways. We plan removals around that reality: crane reach from the street where it fits, climbing and rigging where it doesn’t, and a compact skid steer that ferries wood through gaps a truck can’t touch.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
An old tree over an old house is often a candidate for pruning that buys another healthy decade. Our I.S.A. Certified Arborists thin dense crowns, cut out deadwood, and lift limbs clear of the roofline — and when pruning is all your tree needs, that’s what goes in the written estimate.
Stump Grinding
We grind below grade so the stump’s footprint goes back to being yard. It’s least expensive bundled with the removal — one crew visit covers both.
24/7 Emergency & Storm Response
A trunk through the roof keeps its own schedule, so our 24/7 emergency tree service keeps one too: phone answered around the clock across the Tri-Cities, tree off the structure, roof tarped, every step photographed with time stamps your insurer can follow.
The Equipment We Bring to East Point
The machine that changes the math on a tight East Point lot is our Tree-Mek grapple-saw crane: a knuckleboom over the roof, grapple and hydraulic saw at the tip, sections cut and lifted while the crew stays clear. It’s our own iron: set the Hurricane Helene deployment aside and the invoices show the Tree-Mek working 65 of 141 completed jobs since January 2023. No rental yard’s calendar sits between your emergency and this crane.
Behind it: skid steers with log grapples, chipper and chip truck for the brush, a log truck hauling trunk wood the same day, climbers for the careful picks. Most removals open and close in one day.

South of the airport is the middle of our map, not the edge of it.
Storm Damage & Insurance Claims — Both Sides of the Call
Every storm claim has two phone calls inside it. The first is yours to us, and the emergency-room rule applies from that moment: nobody settles up at time of service. When the work wraps, the invoice travels from our office to your insurance company, copy to your inbox. The second call is your carrier’s adjuster with questions — and it rings a desk where multiple licensed insurance adjusters are on staff*, so the person answering already talks the way carriers talk, photos and paperwork open in front of them.
Between those two calls sits the file. The owner has worked metro trees since 1997, and roughly a thousand homeowner insurance claims have traveled with our documentation attached: damage shot before a saw touches it, tarping and removal captured stage by stage, hours and machines written down as they happen. By the time either side asks a question, the answer is already in the folder.
Where We Work in East Point
Downtown along Main Street, Jefferson Park, Colonial Hills, Conley Hills, Center Park, and the Camp Creek Marketplace corridor — plus College Park and Hapeville beside us in the Tri-Cities. The same crews run up the west Perimeter for tree service in Vinings and south down the highway for tree removal in Fayetteville. All of South Fulton, one number: (770) 272-6747.
The Questions East Point Asks Us Most
How much does it cost to cut down a tree in East Point, GA?
Start where our estimators start: can the equipment get to the tree? On East Point’s short setbacks and tight driveways, staging room swings the price more than anything else — a crane on the street is one job, a climber rigging over the house is another. The tree supplies the rest: size, condition, and what it’s standing over. Scheduled work gets an I.S.A. Certified Arborist walking the access with you, then a free written estimate. In an emergency your photos show us the staging, and every rate arrives already printed on the work authorization.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in East Point?
Metro Atlanta cities each write their own tree rules, and a quick call to East Point’s planning department settles what applies to your lot. Dead, dying, and storm-damaged trees are generally treated differently from healthy ones, and certified-arborist documentation helps make that case — mention it when you call and we’ll help you sort it.
Will homeowners insurance pay for tree removal?
Your policy decides that, not a web page. Multiple licensed insurance adjusters work on our staff*, and we’re more than a thousand insurance claims deep into our career — deep enough to know no two situations line up and no two policies read alike. The particulars decide: tree down, or still standing? Resting on the fence, the playset, the house? Your side of the property line or the neighbor’s? Any hazard documentation on file before it failed? A conversation beats a paragraph at sorting those out — (770) 272-6747 reaches us at any hour, and we’d genuinely like to hear how yours reads. Whichever way it goes, nobody collects payment at time of service.
What is the cheapest time of year for tree removal?
If you’re calendar-shopping, winter tends to win: bare canopies, lighter loads, more room in the crew schedule. Condition outranks season, though — a tree that’s dead, dying, or picking up a lean costs least in the month you first notice it. Put it off, and the tree sets the appointment for you.
Do you actually have crews working in East Point?
East Point is routine dispatch for us — 59 documented jobs within 20 miles in the log. Since early 2024 the log also shows 15 documented jobs in Atlanta directly across the city line, 3 in Decatur, and 12 in Marietta, photos on each city’s page. The Tri-Cities are a standing route, not a detour.
