Licensed, insured tree services serving Midtown & Betton Hills
Midtown and Betton Hills have older homes beneath large oaks, often with tight access, overhead lines, and limited room to drop trees, making rigging and crane work common.
Why trees fail around Tallahassee
The Big Bend's canopy is one of the reasons people love living here, but it comes with risk. Water oaks and laurel oaks grow fast, often develop decay in the trunk and major limbs by middle age, and are among the most common trees to fail in storms. Tall pines can snap or uproot in high winds, and pine bark beetles can kill stressed pines quickly after drought. Hurricanes such as Michael (2018), Idalia (2023), and Helene (2024), plus the May 2024 tornadoes, all brought down large numbers of trees across the region.
Hiring a tree service safely
- Ask for a certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage
- Get a written quote that covers cleanup, hauling, and stump grinding (or not)
- Be cautious of door-to-door crews after storms who demand large deposits
- Ask whether a permit is needed for the tree you want removed
