Can I remove a specimen tree that is located on my residential property?

Property Owners should contact the Public Works Department at 678-691-1200 prior to removal. If the tree is healthy, we recommend you consult with an arborist or urban forester for information about proper pruning and care. Certified arborists can be found at the Isa Arbor website.
