The storm job pictured above went from signed work authorization at 3:25 on a July 2025 afternoon to a first on-site photo at 4:41 — 76 minutes to a Marietta driveway full of equipment. A tree on your roofline doesn’t wait; neither do we. Call (770) 272-6747 — a live human answers, midnight or Sunday, and help starts rolling.
Treat the emergency call like a trip to the ER: no appointments, no paperwork queue. Text us pictures and we read the whole job off your camera roll — which crane, which crew, how many trucks. Every rate is pre-printed on the work authorization, so you see the numbers before you sign. Then we deploy — on the July job above, sections were off the roof and the damage tarped before dark. Priority one, always: tree off, family safe.
No emergency? Even simpler. For scheduled tree work, an I.S.A. Certified Arborist walks the property with you and writes a free estimate — a real number from someone who stood under your actual tree.
We’re 770 Arborist Emergency Tree & Crane Service, working Atlanta-area trees since 1997, and Marietta is the busiest square on our map: 12 documented jobs here since early 2024, more than any other Cobb County city we serve.
The Marietta Job Log, by the Numbers
Anyone can promise fast; we’d rather show you the log. Every emergency removal gets dated photos, an equipment record, and its paperwork filed. As of , the log reads:
- 240 documented emergency tree removal jobs since January 2023, with storm deployments in five states: Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Oklahoma.
- The Marietta job pictured above: 76 minutes — signed 3:25 PM, first on-site photo 4:41 PM the same afternoon.
- 214 of the 240 were Georgia jobs — 100 of those within 20 miles of Marietta.
- Median clock-start to crew on site: 1 hour 38 minutes over 57 storm calls from 2024–2026, outside the Hurricane Helene deployment (timed to our first on-site photo; the clock starts at signing, or 7 AM next morning for after-5 PM signings).
- Hurricane Helene itself: a multi-day backlog, worked down across 73 jobs in Georgia and South Carolina.
- Outside the Helene deployment, 65 of our 141 completed jobs since January 2023 ran on our own Tree-Mek grapple-saw crane — no rental cranes, no waiting. Helene was the exception: a partner operator’s crane worked that backlog alongside ours; those lifts stay out of this tally.
- 9 out of 10 of those 240 jobs went through the homeowner’s insurance — straight from our books; no carrier endorsement implied. The log lists 29 carriers — State Farm most often (84 jobs), then USAA (37) and Allstate (30).
Tree Services We Provide in Marietta, GA
Tree Removal
Marietta’s hundred-foot pines and heavy mature oaks are exactly what our fleet was assembled around. Trees over structures come off with our own grapple-saw crane, one controlled section at a time; tangled canopies go to climbers; and when a backyard offers nothing but a narrow gate, our mini skid walks the log sections out, as the gallery below shows.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Plenty of “problem trees” don’t need to die — they need an arborist with a plan. Thinning a heavy crown, lifting limbs off the roofline, cutting out deadwood before a storm does: I.S.A. Certified Arborist pruning often keeps a healthy Marietta oak standing for far less than removal money, and when that’s the right call, that’s the estimate we write.
Stump Grinding
We grind stumps below grade so sod or seed closes the spot for good. Bundled with a removal, one crew visit covers both — ask when we quote.
24/7 Emergency & Storm Response
Our 24/7 emergency tree service line exists because Marietta trees favor 2 a.m. and holiday weekends. The July 2025 job on this page is that playbook at full speed — tree off the roofline, roof tarped before the crew left, every stage photographed as it happened.
Watch a Marietta Storm Job, Start to Finish
July 2025, Marietta: a storm put a tree across a roofline, and the frames below run the whole job — arrival, staging, the mini skid ferrying logs through a tight side yard, the same-day tarp. The last frame: sizing up tall pines over an East Marietta house that August. We don’t keep a testimonial page; we keep photos.
Where We Work in Marietta
Marietta Square and the historic streets around it, East Cobb, West Cobb, Fair Oaks, the Powers Ferry corridor — if your address says Marietta, or anywhere in Cobb County, you’re on our route. The same crews run next door for tree service in Kennesaw and tree service in Smyrna, cover Acworth and Powder Springs, and roll down I-75 for tree service in Atlanta. One number reaches all of it: (770) 272-6747.
After the Tree Is Off, the Paperwork Is Already Done
The billing works like the emergency room, too — we don’t collect at time of service. When the work’s done, we build the invoice and send it to your insurance company, copy to you. We keep multiple licensed insurance adjusters on staff*, so we speak the carrier’s language: when your adjuster calls, the photos are organized, the hours logged, every machine accounted for.
The owner has been in the tree business since 1997, and our documentation has traveled with roughly a thousand homeowner insurance claims in that time. On the July 2025 Marietta job above, damage was photographed before the first cut, the removal and same-day tarp recorded as they happened, and the file went out complete and dated.
Marietta Tree Service Questions, Answered Straight
Do you actually have crews working in Marietta?
More than anywhere else on the metro side of our map: 12 documented Marietta jobs since early 2024 — including the July 2025 storm response pictured above — and more than 20 across Cobb County. The log backs “local” up with time stamps.
How much does it cost to cut down a tree in Marietta, GA?
Four variables set the number: the tree’s size, its condition, what it’s hanging over, and where equipment can set up. No two Marietta yards score those the same, so we put a free written estimate from an I.S.A. Certified Arborist in your hand instead of a guess in your ear. In an emergency, pricing is even more direct — rates come pre-printed on the work authorization, and your photos tell us the rest.
Will homeowners insurance pay for tree removal?
With multiple licensed insurance adjusters on staff* and over a thousand insurance claims navigated in our career, the most truthful answer is: it depends on your situation and your policy. Did the tree come down, or is it still standing? What did it land on — house, fence, car, lawn? Was it your tree or your neighbor’s? Had anyone documented it as a hazard before it failed? Each changes the picture, and no single paragraph covers them all — call (770) 272-6747 any time; we’d love to talk through yours.
What is the cheapest time of year for tree removal?
Winter takes it most years — crews are less booked, the canopy dormant. The better bargain: the dead or leaning tree handled this month is a far smaller job than the same tree after it lands on the house. In any season, removing a hazard while it still stands is the cheapest version of that work.
Can seniors get free tree cutting service?
We haven’t found a Cobb County program that removes trees for free, and a stranger promising one deserves skepticism. Genuinely free with us: the written estimate on scheduled work, and an honest read on whether the tree needs to come down at all — sometimes a modest pruning job is the real answer, and we’ll say so.
