Updated August 2026 · Peak Storm Season

Storm Season Readiness

We are in the heart of hurricane season, and East Central Alabama does not have to take a direct hit to lose trees. Saturated ground plus a few hours of wind is enough to bring down a tree that stood through every storm before it. A little attention now is a lot cheaper than an emergency call later.

Walk Your Property

Look up. Dead limbs still hanging in the canopy, bark peeling in sheets, and mushrooms at the base are all signs a tree is already failing.

Check What Is Downhill

Wet ground gives way first on slopes and near washouts. A tree leaning toward your house on soft ground is the one to deal with before the next storm.

Clear the Roof Line

Limbs resting on or reaching over a roof do the most damage in high wind. Trimming them back is far less work than removing a tree off your house.

Know Who to Call

After a storm the phones stay busy. Save 334-332-3873 now so you are not searching for a tree service with a tree already on your driveway.

Property Protection & Site Services

A&O focuses on more than cutting trees. The crew also pays attention to property protection, cleanup, drainage concerns, and future site use.

Safety & Property Protection

Careful planning around homes, fences, driveways, utilities, and landscaping.

Drainage & Erosion Awareness

Attention to water flow, washouts, access points, and property conditions during cleanup.

Plant & Tree Health

Removal of damaged, diseased, or hazardous trees while protecting healthy growth when possible.

Site Preparation

Brush cleanup, debris removal, skid steer support, and preparation for future property use.

Common Questions

The questions we get asked most. There are more on the full FAQ page.

How much does tree removal cost?

Every tree is different, so A&O prices each job after looking at it. Size and species, how close the tree is to a house or power line, how much room the crew has to work, and how much cleanup you want all move the number. Estimates are free - call or text 334-332-3873, or send photos through the form.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. A&O Tree Service LLC is licensed and insured, and we will show you proof before the crew starts if you would like to see it. Never let anyone do tree work on your property without coverage.

Can you take down a tree that is close to my house?

That is the core of what we do. Trees near a structure come down in controlled pieces using a bucket truck, crane or spider lift, and rigging lines - not felled in one drop. Tight removals near roofs, fences, and driveways are routine work here.

Do you haul away the wood and brush?

Yes. Cleanup, brush removal, and hauling are part of the job, and the crew chips and removes debris rather than leaving a pile behind. Tell us up front how clean you want the site left and we will price it that way.

Do you handle emergencies?

Yes - trees down on a house, limbs hanging over a roof, and trees blocking a driveway. For anything active, call 334-332-3873 rather than using the web form. It gets a faster answer.
