Tree service in Leesburg and Lee County, GA
Tree help for the growing suburbs north of Albany, from Leesburg along U.S. 19 out to the creek-side lots of Lee County.
Leesburg is the county seat of Lee County, about 11 miles north of Albany along U.S. Route 19. The city had 3,480 residents in 2020, up from 2,896 in 2010, and Lee County grew to 33,163 people. The county is part of the Albany metro area, and much of the growth has come as subdivisions on former farm and timber land.
Trees left too close to new houses
When lots are carved out of woods, builders often leave tall pines and hardwoods just a few feet from the foundation. Grading, driveways and utility trenches can cut through their roots, and UGA Extension notes that disturbing the root zone within the drip line can cause a tree to decline and die. Years later that shows up as dead tops and thin crowns on trees that looked fine when the house was built.
Creeks and soft ground
Kinchafoonee Creek runs through the western corner of Leesburg on its way south to the Flint, and much of the county drains to it and Muckalee Creek. Trees on creek banks and low, wet ground can be harder to rig and harder to reach with heavy machines. Bigger lots also mean more septic systems, so show the crew where the tank and field lines are before equipment rolls in.
