A Tree Doesn't Have to Fall to Be a Problem
Most of the trees we take down are still standing. A tall pine leaning a little more every year toward the bedroom. A live oak limb stretched over the roof that groans in a hard wind. A water oak that's gone hollow at the base and nobody noticed until the mushrooms showed up.
Down here, a tree like that is just waiting on the right storm. One good gust in August puts that weight on your roof, your car or your neighbor's fence, and then you're waiting in line with everyone else on the county. Taking it down on a calm day, on your schedule, costs less and breaks nothing.
What We Do
Tree RemovalBig pines, oaks near the house, dead and hollow trees. We take them down in sections where there's no room to drop them whole.Tree Removal →
Emergency and Storm Tree RemovalA tree on the roof, the car or across the driveway. We get it off safely and help you document it for insurance.Storm Tree Removal →
Tree Trimming and PruningLimbs over the roof, branches on the power drop, crowns too heavy for hurricane season. Thinned and shaped, not butchered.Tree Trimming →
Stump GrindingThe stump ground below the surface so you can mow, plant or pour over it. Add it to a removal or book it on its own.Stump Grinding →Why Homeowners Call Us
- Removal is the main thing we do. Tight backyards, trees leaning over the house, pines next to power lines: that's normal work for us.
- One call covers the whole job. Removal, cleanup, the stump and hauling the wood all go on the same estimate.
- We work the whole county. Eastern Shore, south Baldwin and up toward Bay Minette, same crews and the same way of doing things.
What to Expect When You Call
- Describe the tree. Call or send the form with your town and what's going on. A photo helps if you have one.
- We come look at it. Free estimate on site. We check what's under it, what's around it and how it has to come down.
- You get a clear price. One number that covers the removal, cleanup and anything else you asked for.
- We do the work and clean up. Brush hauled off, wood cut or removed, yard raked out before we leave.

Call [TRACKING NUMBER]Tree Work Across Baldwin County
Most of our calls come from the Eastern Shore, where the old live oaks in Fairhope and Daphne are beautiful right up until one drops a limb on a carport. Out in Spanish Fort it's more often tall pines left standing between newer houses. Down south in Foley, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, salt air and sandy soil make storm damage the big job. Up the county in Robertsdale and Bay Minette, we see bigger lots, more acreage and trees that haven't been touched in decades.
Common Questions
It depends on the tree's height and trunk size, how close it sits to the house or power lines, and whether we can drop it whole or have to take it down piece by piece. A mid-size pine in an open yard is a very different job from a big live oak hanging over a roof. That's why we price every tree on site for free, and the number covers cleanup and hauling so nothing gets added later. Ask about stump grinding at the same visit.
Usually only when a tree falls on something the policy covers, like the house, a garage or a fence, and most policies cap what they pay per tree. A healthy tree you just want gone is normally on you, and so is a tree that falls in the yard without hitting anything. After a storm, take photos before anything gets moved. Our storm tree removal crews document the damage as they work, which helps when you file. Your agent has the final word on your policy.
It usually comes down to whether the tree was healthy. If a sound tree comes down in a storm, each owner's own insurance usually handles the damage on their side. If the tree was dead or obviously failing and the owner knew it, the neighbor can be responsible. Either way, get photos first and call both insurance companies. We can take the tree off your house or fence right away so the damage doesn't get worse while that gets sorted out.
Yes, and it's some of the most common work we do. When there's no room to drop a tree, a climber takes it down from the top in short sections, lowering each piece on ropes so nothing swings into the roof, the gutters or the windows. On the biggest trees a crane can lift sections over the house. You'll see the plan before we start. Removing heavy limbs first with tree trimming is sometimes all a tree needs.
Your call. Most people want everything gone, so we chip the brush and haul the trunk wood off with the rest of the debris. If you burn wood or want firewood, we'll cut the logs to length and stack them where you want. Some folks keep the chips for mulch in the beds. Just tell us at the estimate and it goes into the price, so there's no surprise charge for hauling at the end.
