Safe, Fast & Affordable.
Alonzo Tree Services!

Trusted Tree Service in Ellijay.

When homeowners in Ellijay, Jasper and Blue Ridge Georgia need tree work done, safety and trust are their top concerns. With 23 years of professional experience, Mario Alonzo Tree Service has built a reputation for careful planning, insured service, and results that protect both families and property.

From storm-damaged pines near a roofline to vista pruning for mountain views, Mario and his team bring the right equipment and knowledge to every job. For Ellijay, Jasper and Blue Ridge Georgia residents, that means peace of mind — the work will be done correctly, and safely, the first time.

Ellijay’s terrain is both beautiful and challenging. Homes built on hillsides and mountain lots often have trees dangerously close to structures or power lines. Wet soil, steep grades, and rocky ground make safe removal even more critical.

With 23 years of experience in the North Georgia mountains, Mario knows how to navigate these challenges. His crew uses protective mats, controlled rigging, and careful job planning to ensure every removal is done with precision. While Ellijay is home base, Mario Alonzo Tree Service also proudly serves nearby communities, including:

Tree Removal

Dangerous or overgrown trees can threaten homes and property. We use safe, controlled methods — including ropes, cranes, and section cuts — to remove trees without damaging the surroundings.

Vista Pruning

One of the biggest requests in Ellijay is for vista pruning — trimming or selectively removing trees so homeowners can enjoy their mountain views. Our crew balances view enhancement with tree health and property value.

Stump Grinding

Leftover stumps are tripping hazards and attract pests. We grind them down below grade, leaving your yard clean and usable.

Storm Cleanup

North Georgia storms can bring down trees across driveways, roofs, and power lines. Our team responds quickly to restore safety and access.

Land Clearing 

From overgrown fields to bush-hogging pastures, we help reclaim land and create usable space without full-scale excavation.

Question & Answer Center

We do our best to answer the most common questions we get below. If you would like to know more about our company or our operating procedures, please give us a call at: 706-669-5492

Yes. We carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and we’re happy to provide certificates before work begins. This protects you, your property, and our crew.

Yes. We walk the property with you, discuss options, and provide a written plan with clear pricing—no surprises. Photos and diagrams are included for complex removals.

We use protective ground mats, spotters, and controlled rigging. We plan equipment paths to avoid irrigation and septic fields, and we pad or shield hardscapes to prevent ruts and cracks.

We handle trees near service drops and coordinate with the utility when needed. For primary high-voltage lines, we schedule with the power company to ensure the work is performed safely and in compliance.

No. Topping creates weak regrowth and future hazards. We follow ANSI A300 standards—using reduction, thinning, and structural pruning to achieve your goals safely.

Your call. We can cut logs to length, leave chips in a designated area, or haul everything away. Cleanup includes raking and magnet sweeping for metal where appropriate.

Tree size and species, access (steep grades, tight gates), proximity to targets (homes, lines, fences), and disposal choices (haul-off vs. leave wood/chips). Crane needs and emergency timing can also affect cost.

Yes. Typical grinding depth is 6–12 inches depending on the site and your plans for replanting or sod. We call 811 for utility locates before grinding and can backfill, rough grade, and seed on request.

Yes—24/7. We secure the scene first (stabilize, tarp, temporary supports), then complete removal and cleanup. We can document damage with photos to help your insurance claim move faster.

Most removals or pruning projects finish in a single day; larger or crane jobs may take longer. We schedule quickly for hazards, and weather delays are communicated in advance for safety.

Usually not. Stump grinding is billed separately and typically costs $100–$400 depending on the stump’s size and depth.
