Tree Removal in Tallahassee

Safe removal of dead, dying, or unwanted trees

Removing a mature tree safely takes skill and the right equipment, especially in tight Tallahassee lots where oaks hang over roofs.

How removals are done

• Felling: dropping the whole tree when there's room
• Sectional removal: climbing and lowering pieces with ropes
• Bucket truck: for accessible trees
• Crane removal: for trees over structures or too hazardous to climb

Before you hire

1. Confirm insurance (liability and workers' comp)
2. Ask about permits for your tree
3. Get the scope in writing: cleanup, hauling, wood left or removed, stump grinding
4. Confirm the crew will protect your lawn, driveway, and septic

After removal

Consider stump grinding and replanting with longer-lived species suited to the area, such as live oak, longleaf pine, or southern magnolia, planted a safe distance from the house.
