Dunwoody's residential character is large lots, mature canopy, and pines — lots of pines. Subdivisions developed between the 1960s and 1980s planted heavily, and what was 30 feet of pine 40 years ago is now 80 to 100 feet of pine leaning over a house. Tree care in Dunwoody is disproportionately about managing pines.

Local issues
What tree owners deal with here
Aging pine inventory
Most Dunwoody lots have 4-8 mature pines. As they reach 50+ years they become risk inventory. We assess them individually rather than blanket-removing — some have decades left, others should come down this season.
Pine bark beetle
When one pine shows beetle activity, neighbors are usually next. Quick removal of infested trees slows the spread.
Storm exposure
Tall pines and severe thunderstorms are a bad combination. Proactive removal of leaning or weakly rooted pines is the standard pre-summer precaution.
Working in Dunwoody
Large lots and wide driveways usually allow crane access — the right call for big pine removals over structures.
