Call Get a free quoteLocal pros handle tree removal across Montgomery and the surrounding Montgomery County area. From older neighborhoods like Cloverdale and Old Cloverdale to newer homes in Eastchase and Prattville, our local crew does the job start to finish.
Montgomery sits along the Alabama River in the Black Belt, with rich but heavy clay soil. The area sees tornadoes, tropical storm remnants, strong thunderstorms, and long hot summers, and that weather is hard on trees, especially large mature ones near homes.
Local pros give written quotes before work starts, and you can ask each one about insurance and cleanup.
Local pros take down trees of any size, from small ornamentals to large oaks and pines, including tricky removals next to houses, fences, and power lines.
When a storm drops a tree on your roof, driveway, or yard, local pros respond fast to make it safe and clear the damage.
Local pros grind stumps below ground level so you can replant grass or landscape over the spot.
Clearing trees and brush for additions, pools, fences, and new construction.
Dead, diseased, cracked, or leaning trees are removed before they fall on your home or your neighbor's.
Cutting limbs back from roofs and lines, and pruning trees so they stay healthy and safe.
A healthy tree adds shade, privacy, and value to a home. A dead, cracked, or badly leaning tree does the opposite. In Montgomery, where homeowners deal with tornadoes, tropical storm remnants, strong thunderstorms, and long hot summers, a weak tree can go from a minor worry to an emergency in one afternoon. Large limbs over a roof, a trunk with a split at the base, or a tree that has started to lean after heavy rain are all signs it's time to call a professional.
Local pros help homeowners across Montgomery County decide whether a tree should come down, be trimmed, or be left alone. Not every tree needs to be removed. When a good pruning job will fix the problem, a local pro will tell you. When a tree is a real hazard to your house, driveway, fence, or your neighbor's property, a local pro will explain why and give you a clear written price to take it down safely.
Montgomery is in Montgomery County, Alabama, and it is the county seat. Wikidata lists 1817 as its founding year. It sits on or next to the Alabama River. Main routes include Interstate 65, Interstate 85 and U.S. Highway 231. (Sources: Wikipedia, Wikidata, U.S. Census Bureau.)
Montgomery has a humid subtropical climate: hot, humid summers, mild winters and heavy thunderstorm rain, so heat, humidity and storm runoff are part of planning tree removal here. (Source: Wikipedia.)
Requests also come in from nearby towns, each with its own local page: Pike Road (about 10 miles southeast), Millbrook (about 12 miles northwest), Prattville (about 13 miles northwest), Wetumpka (about 14 miles north), Deatsville (about 18 miles northwest) and Tallassee (about 25 miles northeast). See the full service area for the rest.
Cracks and splits. Deep cracks in the trunk or where large limbs meet the trunk are a serious concern. Trees with two main trunks joined in a tight V are especially likely to split during storms.
Leaning after storms. A tree that has always leaned slightly may be fine. A tree that suddenly starts leaning, or has soil heaving up on one side of the base, is a hazard and should be looked at right away.
Permit rules for work inside Montgomery city limits come from the city; start with the official website of Montgomery. A local pro can tell you whether your tree removal project needs one.
Too close to the house. Trees planted near foundations can damage roofs, gutters, siding, and even sewer lines as they grow. Sometimes removal is the only long-term fix.
Every tree is different, so every job starts with a plan. Local pros look at the tree's height and lean, what's underneath it, where the power lines are, and how they can get equipment into your yard. In tight backyards, which are common in older parts of Montgomery, local pros often climb the tree and lower each piece with ropes so nothing hits your house, fence, or garden.
When there's open space, a local pro may fell the tree in larger sections to save time and money. For trees near power lines, they coordinate with Alabama Power when the line needs to be made safe before the pro works. Local pros protect lawns with plywood mats when the ground is soft and keep the equipment off patios and driveways that could crack.
When the tree is down, local pros cut the wood, chip the branches, and haul everything away. If you'd like to keep firewood, just tell us and a local pro will cut it to length and stack it where you want it. If you want the stump gone, local pros grind it below ground level so you can plant grass or landscape over the spot.
Storms don't wait for business hours. After tornadoes, trees and large limbs often end up on roofs, cars, driveways, and fences. When that happens, the first priority is safety. Stay away from any tree touching a power line, keep kids and pets inside, and take photos of the damage for your insurance company.
Then call us. Local pros prioritize trees that are on homes or blocking access, and they work to make the situation safe as quickly as they can. Many homeowner's insurance policies help pay for removing a tree that has fallen on a covered structure, and local pros are happy to provide photos and a detailed invoice for your claim.
We serve Montgomery and nearby towns including Prattville, Millbrook, Wetumpka, and Pike Road, so a local pro can usually reach you quickly after a storm passes through the area.
Tree work is one of the most dangerous jobs in home services, and mistakes are expensive. Before you hire anyone, ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Ask how they plan to take the tree down and protect your property. Get the price in writing, and make sure it lists cleanup, hauling, and stump grinding if you want it.
Be careful with door-to-door crews who show up right after a storm asking for cash up front. A reputable company will give you a written quote, answer your questions, and stand behind the work. That's how local pros operate on every job, whether it's one small tree in Capitol Heights or several large trees on an acreage near Tallassee.
Tree removal in the Montgomery area usually runs about $400 to $2,000 for a typical residential tree. Small trees can cost less, while large trees near a house or power lines, or emergency storm work, can cost $2,000 or more. Stump grinding is often priced separately. Local pros give you a clear written price before any work starts.
Most residential removals take a few hours to one day, depending on the tree's size and what's around it. Local pros usually finish and haul everything away in one visit.
