Local Know-How

Acworth Tree Removal, Done Right

Acworth is in northern Cobb County, bordering Kennesaw, and it’s a lake town. The 2020 census counted 22,440 residents, with a 2025 estimate of 22,925. Lake Acworth, 260 acres, was formed in 1950 by a dam the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built while creating Lake Allatoona, and it drains into that much larger lake. The city’s public beach on the northern shore uses white sand trucked in over the red clay. The Corps of Engineers began filling Lake Allatoona in December 1949, and the Allatoona dam and power station were running by January 1950.

Local Conditions

Acworth’s Trees, Ground and Weather

Lake Allatoona covers 12,010 acres, mostly in Bartow and Cherokee counties with a small part in Cobb, and its wooded shoreline wraps the north side of Acworth. Lakeside lots tend to fall toward the water, and a tree on a slope above wet ground carries its lean and its root plate downhill. Away from the water, newer Acworth subdivisions have younger trees in graded clay, where roots stay shallow and a tree that lost roots to grading can decline over several seasons.

Tree Services for Acworth

Acworth calls range from a pine leaning toward a lake house to storm limbs over the historic downtown streets and young trees planted too close to newer homes. Lake lots with steep access usually mean rigging and lowering, and sometimes carrying wood uphill to the truck. Acworth is on the far side of the service area, so visits are routed with other north Cobb work. Near Lake Acworth and the Allatoona shoreline, cut wood and brush are kept out of the water, and cleanup covers the slope down to the shore.

Permits & Rules

Tree Rules That Apply in Acworth

Acworth’s tree ordinance applies to work that needs a land-development or building permit, and it exempts existing single-family and duplex lots unless the footprint expands. Dead or hazardous trees are exempt on an arborist’s or forester’s recommendation. On development sites, specimen trees start at 24 inches for most hardwoods, 30 inches for tulip poplar, sweetgum, river birch and silver maple, and 10 inches for holly, dogwood and redbud. The city amended the ordinance in August 2025.

Lake-Slope Lots

On Acworth lots that fall toward Lake Acworth or Lake Allatoona, the tree’s lean, the slope and the haul path are planned together.

Footprint Rule Checked

If an Acworth project expands the house footprint, the city’s tree ordinance can apply, so the building plans get asked about up front.
