Clarkston tree care, in context
What we have learned working trees in Clarkston
Many Clarkston rental properties are 1960s-1970s ranch and mid-century houses with large hardwoods near the structure — common species are water oak, willow oak, and post oak that were planted small and grew faster than the house was designed for. Indian Creek-adjacent lots also have shallow soil and frequent stormwater pooling, which speeds up root decay in the bigger oaks. We always check whether a renter is being asked to pay for tree work that should fall to the owner.
Local code
DeKalb County Tree Preservation Ordinance
Clarkston falls under DeKalb County's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Removal of protected hardwoods over a DBH threshold typically requires either replacement plantings or an in-lieu fee. We file the paperwork on your behalf and pull permits where required.

Clarkston tree service FAQs
Do you offer affordable rates for renters and smaller jobs?
Yes. We quote per job, not per-hour, and routinely combine adjacent properties for a single mobilization to keep cost down.
Will you talk to the landlord on my behalf?
Yes. If your landlord is responsible for a tree on a rental property, we will document the hazard and send the owner a written assessment so the right party pays.
Do you respond to Indian Creek storm flooding cleanup?
Yes. Indian Creek floods periodically and brings down weakened trees. We dispatch 24/7 for emergencies.
