Tree service in Albany, Georgia
Tree removal and trimming across the city on the Flint, from the older streets under big oaks to the newer subdivisions on the west side.
Albany is the county seat of Dougherty County and the only incorporated city in it. The 2020 census counted 69,647 residents in Albany and 85,790 in the county. The city sits on the banks of the Flint River in the coastal plain of Southwest Georgia, at about 200 feet of elevation.
Big oaks over older neighborhoods
When straight-line winds hit on January 2, 2017, the National Weather Service singled out the Rawson Circle area, where the roads run under a canopy of old oaks, as one of the hardest-hit spots. Neighborhoods like that have the trees people love and the trees that cause the worst damage when they fail: tall, wide-spreading and planted close to houses decades ago. Removals there are often done in pieces from a bucket truck or with a crane.
Public trees and the city arborist
The City of Albany has a city arborist in the Engineering Department who protects trees on public property, inspects public trees that are dead, dying, diseased or hazardous, and works with the city's Tree Board. The arborist also reviews tree removal tied to site plans and commercial properties. If a tree is on city property or you own a commercial lot, check with the city before work starts.
