Commercial properties in Marietta are mostly managing willow oak, water oak and loblolly pine along parking areas, entrances and road frontage. Most of the liability work here comes from severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Spring and summer storms are the top cause of tree failure in Cobb County. On larger sites we also watch for emerald ash borer. Confirmed in Cobb County; most untreated ash are dead or dying and need removal.
Permits & rules in Marietta
Marietta's tree ordinance (Zoning Ordinance 712.08) exempts any single residential lot with one dwelling structure containing no more than two units, so typical homeowners need no permit to remove trees on their own property (exceptions: lots in the Residential Infill Development Overlay or developments with approved tree plans). On non-exempt parcels (commercial, multi-family, development sites) no tree may be removed without prior authorization from Development Services; dead, dying, diseased or hazardous trees require a Notification of Tree Removal form with staff verification, decided within 10 business days, and removed trees that counted toward site tree density must be replaced or paid into the Tree Replacement Fund. Specimen trees are defined by species, size and condition for preservation credit rather than a single size cutoff. Street/right-of-way trees are not addressed in 712.08.
Storm debris: Marietta Public Works' Sanitation Division collects curbside yard debris (limbs normally capped at 4 in. diameter by ordinance) and has run free expanded storm-debris pickups after major events (up to 8 in. x 6 ft after the fall 2020 storm), but logs and tree-service debris are never collected (770-794-5595).
City of Marietta Department of Development Services (205 Lawrence St.) ↗Weather & timing
- Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes Spring and summer storms are the top cause of tree failure in Cobb County
- Tropical storm remnants Irma (2017) and Zeta (2020) toppled thousands of trees in Cobb; Helene (2024) added more
- Ice storms The 2014 ice events loaded pines and pears to failure across metro Atlanta
- Saturated clay and drought cycles Wet winters cause root-plate failure of big oaks; summer drought stresses pines
Best time: Dormant season (November-February) is ideal: leafless canopies make structure visible, oaks and maples heal cleanly, and crews are less booked than in storm season.
Pests & disease to watch
- Emerald ash borer Confirmed in Cobb County; most untreated ash are dead or dying and need removal
- Southern pine beetle / Ips engraver beetles Kill drought-stressed loblolly pines, often in clusters
- Hypoxylon canker Kills stressed water and red oaks; wood becomes brittle quickly
- Bacterial leaf scorch Chronic decline of willow oaks and sycamores along streets
- Granulate ambrosia beetle Attacks stressed ornamentals and young trees in spring
