About Martin's Diversified Services: 30 Years of Trusted Property Care in Columbus, GA
For thirty solid years, Martin’s Diversified Services has delivered honest, safe, and highly dependable property solutions across the Georgia-Alabama border, evolving from manual tree trimming into a premium, heavy-machinery land management powerhouse.
Our Story
From a Local Family Owned Tree Service to a Full Property Management Team
Martin's Diversified Services was founded with a simple goal: provide dependable, high-quality outdoor and property services to the people of Columbus and the surrounding communities. For 30 years, that goal has never changed. What has changed is our scope. Originally known as Martin's Tree Service, we expanded our capabilities to meet the growing needs of our clients, adding forestry mulching, underbrush management, lot clearing, and emergency storm response to our core tree care work. The name "Diversified" reflects that evolution. We are no longer just a 30 year tree service company in the traditional sense. We are a full-service property management operation with the equipment, the training, and the local knowledge to handle projects of any size. Our headquarters at 6021 Business Park Drive in Columbus, GA serves as the base for our crews and fleet, and we are licensed and fully insured to operate across both Georgia and Alabama.
How We Work
A Professional Arborist Team Built Around Property Protection and Clean Results
Our professional arborist team approaches every job as a property consultant, not just a contractor. Before any heavy equipment touches your yard, we evaluate the site, deploy heavy-duty protection mats to safeguard your lawn and pavers, and select the right tools for the job. For large or hazardous trees, that often means using a crane to achieve zero-impact removal, lifting the tree clear of your roof, garden, or landscaping without dragging it across your property. For large blow-over stumps, our excavators handle root ball extraction cleanly and efficiently. When the cutting is done, our mini skid steers and crews blow off and rake the entire site until it looks better than when we arrived. That final cleanup is not an afterthought. It is one of the most important things we do, and it is a big reason our customers give us five-star reviews. We also maintain a 24/7 emergency response line with a one-hour response target, because when a tree comes down on your home during a storm, you need a real plan, not a voicemail.
Common Questions
What People Ask About Martin's Diversified Services
How long has Martin's Diversified Services been operating in the Columbus, GA area?
Martin's Diversified Services has been serving the Columbus, Georgia community for approximately 30 years. The company was originally founded as Martin's Tree Service and built its reputation over three decades on consistent, high-quality work and honest customer relationships. That long track record is one of the strongest trust signals we can offer, because it means our work has stood the test of time across thousands of jobs in Muscogee, Harris, Troup, and Marion counties in Georgia, and Russell County in Alabama.Why did the company change its name from Martin's Tree Service to Martin's Diversified Services?
The name change reflects a real expansion in what we do. Over time, client demand pushed us well beyond traditional tree care into forestry mulching, underbrush management, lot clearing, land development, and large-scale stump removal. The word 'Diversified' is meant to communicate that growth honestly. We are still the same local, family-rooted operation with the same values, but our capabilities now cover the full property management lifecycle rather than tree work alone.What areas do you serve, and are you licensed to work in both Georgia and Alabama?
Yes, we operate across both states. Our primary service area in Georgia includes Muscogee County (Columbus), Harris County (Fortson), Troup County, and Marion County. In Alabama, we serve Phenix City and Russell County. The company is fully licensed and insured, and we work with residential homeowners, commercial property managers, restoration companies, and government entities including the Muscogee County School Board and Taylor County on both sides of the state line.Will your equipment damage my lawn or landscaping during a tree removal?
Protecting your property is a core part of how we operate. Before any heavy machinery rolls onto your yard, we lay down heavy-duty protection mats that allow equipment to move across grass and soil without causing compaction or ruts. For trees that are close to structures or manicured landscaping, we use cranes to lift and remove the tree without dragging it across your yard at all. This zero-impact removal approach is a standard part of our process, not an upgrade.Do you handle emergency tree removal at night or on weekends?
Yes. We maintain a 24/7 emergency response line specifically for situations where a tree has come down on a structure or is creating an immediate safety hazard. Our target is to respond within one hour during standard operating hours, and we deploy at night when necessary to stabilize the site and prevent further damage. After the hazard is secured, we schedule the full aesthetic cleanup for daylight hours so the work can be completed safely and thoroughly.
