Tree Work Built for Grayson Lots
Grayson sits southeast of the middle of Gwinnett County, in that stretch of rolling red-clay country between Snellville and Lawrenceville where the town went from a few hundred people in 2000 to well over four thousand today. All that growth happened right on top of tall loblolly pines and mature hardwoods, which is why so many yards off Grayson Parkway and Rosebud Road now have big trees leaning a little too close to a roof.
We work with both residential and commercial property owners across the area, from the older lots near the downtown square to the newer subdivisions out toward Bay Creek. When you call, you talk directly with our team, from the first look through the last log hauled off.
Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Grayson?
Usually no, but not always. In unincorporated Gwinnett County a homeowner can remove living trees from their own occupied lot without a permit, as long as the tree is not in a protected area. We tell you which category your tree falls into before we quote the job.

The exceptions are the ones that catch people off guard: trees inside a required zoning buffer or stream buffer, trees in a conservation or open-space area, designated tree-save areas, and street trees are all protected, and pulling one without approval can mean a fine. Many newer Grayson subdivisions were platted with buffer strips along the back of the lots, so the pine you want gone may be sitting in one. We check the county GIS and the plat before we cut, and if your property falls under a homeowners association or a covenant, we will tell you that too, since the county does not enforce those and your HOA might.
Our Services
We keep our service details in one place so they stay accurate and easy to find. Here is a quick overview of what we handle, with links to learn more.
Tree Removal
When a tree needs to come down, we plan the removal around the house, driveway, fencing, and septic field common on Grayson lots, and we rig and section tall pines in controlled pieces when a full drop is not safe. See our main page for the full details.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
We provide structural pruning, canopy thinning, and storm-prep trimming for the mature hardwoods and pines that shade so many yards here. Full information on how we approach pruning is on our trimming and pruning page.
Emergency Tree Service
Summer thunderstorms and the occasional ice event drop limbs and whole trees around here, so we stay available around the clock for fallen trees, split limbs, and other urgent situations. Learn how we respond on our emergency page.
What Tree Service Costs in Grayson
Cost comes down to three things: the size of the tree, how close it stands to your house, fence, or the power line running along the street, and how much cleanup you want hauled off. A single mid-size pine in an open backyard is a very different job from a large oak overhanging a roof near downtown, so we price each one after seeing it in person. Every estimate is free, and you get a written quote before any saw starts.
On-site estimates are free and there is no obligation to book.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still Have Questions?
Contact PAC-TREE to talk through your property, a leaning tree you are worried about, or an upcoming removal or pruning project.
In most cases no. In unincorporated Gwinnett County a homeowner can remove living trees from their own occupied lot without a permit, as long as the tree is not in a required buffer, a stream buffer, a conservation or open-space area, a tree-save area, or a street tree. We confirm which category your tree falls into before we quote.
The protected categories are zoning buffers, stream buffers, conservation and open-space areas, designated tree-save areas, and street trees. Many newer subdivisions here were platted with buffer strips along the rear of the lots, so we check the county GIS and your plat before cutting so you stay compliant.
A tree that has already fallen or split in a storm can generally be cleared right away, since emergency provisions allow removal of a tree that poses an imminent hazard without waiting on paperwork. We document the condition, clear the tree, and can help with anything your insurer needs.
Cost depends on the tree’s size, how close it is to your home or a power line, and how much debris you want hauled off, so we price each job after seeing it in person. Every on-site estimate is free and comes with a written quote before any work starts.
Yes. We are available 24 hours a day for urgent tree situations, which matters during the summer storm season when limbs and whole trees come down fast. Call us directly and we will move as quickly as it is safe to do so. You can learn more on our Emergency Tree Service page.
Yes. We provide tree removal and pruning for both residential lots and commercial properties around Grayson, including the storefronts and offices near the downtown corridor, and we sort out the applicable buffer and permit questions for each.
