Tree Trimming in Deatsville

Deatsville is a small community in central Elmore County, located along US-231 north of Millbrook and Wetumpka. It has a mix of older rural properties and newer residential subdivisions that have grown up along the highway corridor. The area is primarily residential with large lots, and its tree canopy includes both long-established hardwoods on older properties and younger planted trees in newer developments.

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.
