Pine tree removal in Rome, GA is one of the most common tree calls in Northwest Georgia.

Loblolly and shortleaf pines grow tall and fast here. Many stand close to homes.

Pines snap and uproot in storms. They also die fast when bark beetles move in.

Signs of Pine Beetle Attack

• Small popcorn-sized blobs of sap (pitch tubes) on the bark
• Needles fading from green to yellow, then red, then brown
• Fine reddish sawdust in bark cracks or at the base
• Several pines dying in the same spot

Georgia saw a sharp rise in southern pine beetle spots in 2024. Drought-stressed pines are at the highest risk.

The Georgia Forestry Commission advises removing infested pines quickly. Beetles move to nearby healthy trees.

Why Dead Pines Are Dangerous

Beetle-killed pines dry out and weaken within months.

They can snap mid-trunk with little warning. Never fell a dead pine yourself. See DIY tree removal safety.

Pines Close to the House

A tall pine can reach a roof from far across the yard.

Crews often take it down in sections or with a crane. See tree removal near a house.

What About the Stump?

Pine stumps do not resprout like some hardwoods. Many owners still grind them for mowing and looks. See stump removal.

Tall pines near roofs usually need climbing and rigging, which costs more than open-yard felling.

Removing several pines in one visit is often cheaper per tree. See our cost guide.

Who to Contact About Pine Beetles

The Georgia Forestry Commission has county foresters who can confirm beetle activity.

Report suspected spots early. Quick removal of infested pines can slow the spread.

What Happens to the Wood?

Beetle-infested pine should be removed from the site or chipped. Leaving it stacked can let beetles move on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I remove a pine tree with pine beetles?

Usually yes. Infested pines rarely recover, and beetles can spread to nearby pines. A forester or arborist can confirm.

Are pine trees dangerous near houses?

Healthy pines are not automatically dangerous. Risk rises with lean, root damage, beetle attack, or a dead top.

Do pine stumps grow back?

No. Pines do not resprout from the stump, but many owners still grind them for mowing and looks.
