Fast, Safe Tree Removal for Fairburn Homeowners

Fairburn, in south Fulton County, has a historic downtown surrounded by older residential streets, plus newer growth driven by the logistics and film-production activity that's expanded through south Fulton in recent years.

Fairburn sits in south Fulton County along I-85, roughly 20 miles southeast of Douglasville. It became the Campbell County seat in 1871, after the railroad chose Fairburn over Campbellton, and stayed that way until Campbell County went bankrupt and was folded into Fulton in 1932. The 2020 Census counted 16,483 residents, and each spring the city hosts the Georgia Renaissance Festival.

Trees & Weather

Big Hardwoods on Fairburn's Older Streets

The older residential streets around downtown Fairburn carry big hardwoods, and the newer neighborhoods at the edges of town keep pines along their back lines. Tall trees close to houses and lines are the ones that fail in a storm like Zeta, which left more than 500,000 Georgia Power customers without power across the state in October 2020. Fairburn bans topping, so a storm-damaged crown has to be pruned properly or the tree taken down.

Our Tree Removal Service in Fairburn

In Fairburn the permit comes first, because the city requires one for nearly every yard tree worth a call. Typical jobs are dead or storm-damaged trees that may qualify for the dead-tree exemption, healthy trees that need a permit before they come down, and crowns that need proper pruning instead of topping. We fit the permit timing into the schedule so the job day isn't when you find out.

Permits

Fairburn's 6-Inch Permit Rule

Under Chapter 74 of Fairburn's code, removing any tree larger than 6 inches in diameter needs a permit from the city administrator, whether or not there's construction. Homeowners on a developed lot don't have to file a tree protection plan, and a dead, diseased or infested tree is exempt once the county extension service or the state forestry commission confirms it. The city can waive its rules in a storm emergency, and leaving limb stubs over 3 inches, which is topping, is unlawful.
