Local Know-How

Smyrna Tree Removal, Done Right

Smyrna sits just south of Marietta along Atlanta Road, about six miles from the Square, and the State of Georgia incorporated it as a city in 1872. It is now one of Cobb County’s larger cities, with an estimated 57,513 residents in 2025. Its older, tree-lined streets sit beside townhome and condo redevelopment near Market Village and The Battery, so Smyrna yards hold everything from decades-old hardwoods to young trees still rooting in after construction. The Silver Comet Trail begins in Smyrna at South Cobb Drive and runs 61.65 miles west through Cobb, Paulding and Polk counties to the Alabama line.

Local Conditions

Smyrna’s Trees, Ground and Weather

Smyrna calls itself the Jonquil City, but the shade on its streets comes from oaks, tulip poplars, sweetgum and loblolly pines. The trouble usually starts underground. UGA Extension notes that most tree roots in Georgia clay grow in the top 12 to 18 inches of soil, so a new driveway, sewer tap or townhome foundation can slice through a big share of an older Smyrna tree’s roots. That kind of damage can start a slow decline that shows first as dieback at the tips of the crown, and a summer thunderstorm then finds the weakened limbs.

Tree Services for Smyrna

Typical Smyrna calls: a big oak leaning over an older roof, a pine that lost its top in a storm, a sweetgum heaving a driveway, or a tree standing too close to a new addition. Smyrna lots are often small, so there’s rarely room to drop a tree whole; most come down in rigged sections lowered into the yard, and the stump can usually be ground on the same visit. Where a Smyrna yard backs onto the Silver Comet Trail near its eastern end at South Cobb Drive, the fall path is planned away from the trail and the people on it.

Permits & Rules

Tree Rules That Apply in Smyrna

Smyrna is the strictest city next to Marietta. Its code requires a permit to remove any living tree 24 inches DBH or larger, even with no construction planned, while trees under 24 inches on single-family lots and any tree that’s a danger to life or property are exempt. A permitted removal means replanting a 2-inch tree or paying $400 to the city’s tree bank; skip the permit and it doubles to two trees or $800.

What Smyrna Gets With Us

Six Miles From the Square

Smyrna borders Marietta along Atlanta Road, so a Smyrna estimate is a short trip and can often be set up within the same week.

Permit Line Measured First

Before any Smyrna oak or poplar is priced, the trunk is measured 4½ feet up, because 24 inches DBH is where the city’s permit rule starts.
