Safe, Professional Tree Removal in Austell, GA
Dead, leaning, or overcrowded trees removed safely and affordably. For over 25 years, with the owner on every job and the right equipment to guarantee it's done correctly.
Tree Removal Done Right
Tree removal is exactly what it sounds like — taking a tree down completely, safely, and without damaging anything around it. But the way it gets done is what separates a safe job from a costly one.
At Shackleford Tree Service, we've spent over 25 years removing trees from west metro Atlanta yards — from small backyard ornamentals to towering pines leaning over rooftops. We assess each tree, plan the safest removal method, and dismantle it in controlled sections so nothing is left to chance.
Whether a tree is dead, diseased, storm-damaged, or simply in the wrong place, we have the equipment and experienced crew to remove it correctly — and the owner is on site to make sure of it.
When You May Need a Tree Removed
A few of the situations homeowners across Austell and the surrounding counties call us about most often.
Dead or Dying Trees
A dead or declining tree loses structural strength and can drop limbs or fall without warning. Removing it before it fails protects your home, family, and neighbors.
Trees Too Close to Your House
When a tree is growing over your roof, foundation, or utility lines, the risk grows every year. Removal is often the safest long-term answer for tight residential lots.
Storm or Wind Damage
Georgia storms split, uproot, and weaken trees. If a tree is cracked, leaning, or partially failed after a storm, it should be evaluated and removed before the next one.
Leaning or Hazardous Trees
A tree that has started to lean, has a hollow trunk, or has lifted roots is a hazard. These trees need to come down before they come down on their own.

Request Your Free EstimateOn-Site Evaluation First
Every removal starts with a hands-on assessment of the tree, the surroundings, and the safest way to take it down — no guesswork.
Sectional & Rigged Removal
We dismantle trees piece by piece using ropes and rigging so heavy sections are lowered with control instead of dropped.
Crane-Assisted Removal
For large or hard-to-reach trees, our crane service lifts sections clear of your roof, driveway, and landscaping.
Complete Cleanup & Haul-Off
When the tree is down, we haul away the wood, limbs, and brush so your yard is left cleaner than we found it.
Experience You Can See on Every Job
