Tree removal in Betton Hills, FL.

Tree removal in Betton Hills, FL

Betton Hills has some of the largest, oldest trees inside the Tallahassee city limits. The live oak canopy that makes the neighborhood famous is also what makes tree work here genuinely difficult — the trees are big, the lots are tight, and almost every removal happens within strike distance of a roof, a pool cage, or a power line.

We do a lot of crane-assisted removals in Betton Hills because there's rarely a clean drop zone. Our crews are set up for old-tree, tight-lot midtown work — pre-rigging long limbs, picking sections out with the crane, and protecting the landscaping under the canopy as we go.

What we see in Betton Hills

• Massive live oaks and water oaks over older homes
• Roof-touching limbs from old-growth canopy
• Crane-assisted removals on tight midtown lots
• Power-line proximity on most blocks

• Pines that leaned in past hurricanes and never came back true
