Tall loblolly pines, water oaks and sweetgums are the most common removals around Montgomery. Pines killed by southern pine beetle or lightning dry out and can drop limbs or fall without warning.
Open ground versus tight spaces
In an open field or the middle of a wooded tract, a tree can often be felled in one piece and handled with a skid steer or excavator. Near houses, fences, power lines or a neighbor's roof, it may need to be taken down in sections with climbers or a bucket truck. That second kind of job takes more people and time, so mention anything within reach of the tree.
Trees touching or near overhead power lines are a special case. Contact Alabama Power or your local electric co-op before anyone works near the lines; they decide what can be done safely.
Wood, stumps and cleanup
Decide what happens to the wood. Some owners want firewood lengths left in a pile; others want everything chipped or hauled. Ask whether the stump will be cut low, ground out or dug, and whether the quote covers raking and filling the hole. See stump grinding for that step.
On a larger wooded tract, merchantable pine might be worth selling to a timber buyer before clearing. A registered forester can tell you whether the volume justifies it.
Before work starts
If you live in a subdivision, check your HOA rules. Inside the City of Montgomery, ask the city whether a permit is needed for trees in the right-of-way. Make sure the contractor carries insurance for tree work, especially near structures.
Frequently asked questions
Can dead pines be left standing?
Away from people and buildings, sometimes. Near a house, drive or fence, dead pines are a falling hazard and are usually removed.
Is tree removal part of lot clearing?
Often. Lot clearing removes trees across a build area; this page covers single trees and selective removals.
Who takes the trees down?
A local land clearing contractor who calls you back; you agree price and terms with them directly. See how it works.
