Tree Service in Beauregard, AL

Tree Service in Beauregard is work we approach with care. On March 3, 2019, a long-track EF4 tornado with peak winds estimated at 170 miles per hour and a path up to 1,600 yards wide struck this community. It killed 23 people, all in Lee County and most of them in and around Beauregard, and severely damaged or destroyed many homes. A remembrance monument at Providence Baptist Church honors those who died. People here do not need to be told about storms.

What tree work can and cannot do

We want to be plain about this. No pruning or removal makes a property safe from a tornado like that one; it brought down healthy trees as easily as weak ones. What tree work can do is reduce the everyday risk from ordinary thunderstorms and windy days: dead trees that will fail eventually, heavy limbs over bedrooms, and trees with splits or decay that are likely to break in a strong gust. That is the work we focus on.

The community

Beauregard is an unincorporated community in central Lee County, near the crossroads of Alabama 51 and Lee County Road 400, about 8 miles south of Opelika and east of Auburn. It sits at about 630 feet. Residents consider roughly 25 square miles around the original crossroads to be Beauregard, and most of it is rural: homes on large lots, pasture and woods. Settlement dates to the late 1800s, and the community's schools were consolidated in 1923 and took the Beauregard name in 1928.

Rebuilt properties, replanted yards

Many properties near the 2019 path were cleared and rebuilt. Trees planted since then are young, and this is the right time to shape them. Light structural pruning in the first ten years, choosing one strong central leader and spacing out main limbs, prevents the weak forks and heavy end-loaded limbs that cause trouble later. It is inexpensive work compared to fixing a mature tree.

Trees that survived

Trees near the path that survived may have hidden damage: cracked limbs, bark wounds where decay can enter, and loosened roots. If a big tree near your house came through the storm, a look now can catch problems before they become emergencies.

Typical requests here

• Removing dead or damaged trees within reach of homes
• Structural pruning of young trees planted since 2019
• Clearing limbs over driveways on long rural lots
• Stump grinding in yards and fields

Brush and burning

The Alabama Forestry Commission does not require a permit for fires under a quarter acre, but county rules can restrict burning, so check first. We also chip and haul.
