Safe, Professional Removal of Trees of Any Size

Tree removal is the careful dismantling and removal of a tree — whether it’s dead, dying, hazardous, storm-damaged, or simply in the way of your plans. It’s also the most dangerous work in this industry, which is why experience matters more here than anywhere else. Atlas has removed trees of every size across the East Bay for more than six decades, from tight residential backyards to large commercial sites requiring crane work.

When Tree Removal Is the Right Call

  • Dead or dying trees — Declining trees become more dangerous every season they stand
  • Hazardous trees — Structural defects, decay, or lean threatening people or property
  • Storm-damaged trees — Trees compromised beyond recovery by wind or weather

  • Root and clearance conflicts — Trees damaging foundations, hardscapes, or utilities

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you remove trees in tight spaces?

Our climbers dismantle trees piece by piece, lowering sections with rigging. For large trees with no drop zone, crane removal lets us lift sections out safely.

Will removal damage my lawn or landscape?

We plan access carefully and protect surrounding areas. Our goal is that the only thing missing afterward is the tree.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

Many East Bay cities regulate removal of certain species and sizes. We can help you understand what your city requires before work begins.

What happens to the stump?

Standard removal takes the tree to near ground level. Stump grinding is a separate service we’re happy to include — most clients bundle the two.
