Tree Trimming in Tallassee

Tallassee sits at the Tallapoosa River in southeastern Elmore and Tallapoosa counties, and it's one of the older mill towns in Alabama, with a textile history going back to the 1840s. The city has an established residential core with mature street trees and older housing stock, plus some newer development on the edges. Its river location and historic density make it a distinct market from the newer suburban communities to the west.

Overgrown trees in Montgomery drop limbs fast when summer storms roll through — and we get a lot of those between June and September. The pine trees and water oaks common in neighborhoods like Dalraida and Wynlakes grow quickly in the Alabama heat, and they need regular trimming to stay safe near rooflines and power lines. Skip it too long and you're not just looking at a mess — you're looking at a tree that's already leaning the wrong way.

We climb or use a bucket truck depending on the tree and what's around it, and we cut to the branch collar — that's the swollen ring where the branch meets the trunk — so the tree seals itself properly. Hacking branches flat or flush with the trunk leaves open wounds that rot inward, and we see that mistake on trees all over the older parts of Montgomery where someone did a quick job 10 years ago.
