Tree Removal in Jasper, AL
Standing dead timber, trees leaning over a drive and trees already on the ground around Jasper, taken out with an excavator and loaders. We pull the stump, fill the hole and level the ground.
Dead, leaning and storm-downed trees handled from the ground
A dead pine does not fall on a schedule. It stands for a year or two dropping limbs, then goes over in a wind that would not have bothered a live tree. In the hollows around Jasper there is usually something under it: a drive, a fence, a power drop, the corner of a shop. The time to deal with it is while it is still standing and you get to pick the day.
Our Jasper tree service is tree removal done with an excavator and loaders, working from the ground. The excavator controls the fall and lifts the trunk clear. The loaders move the wood and the brush. Trees already down, and tops broken and hung up in other trees, are handled the same way, with the operator in a cab instead of a person under the load. Then stumps are pulled, holes are filled and packed and the ground is leveled.
We are based one county over, so Walker County work is close to home. This is the right fit for acreage, tree lines, pasture, build sites, lake lots and storm cleanup. If the job is a whole stand and not a few trees, it usually prices better as land clearing, and we will price it both ways. See the main tree removal page and our Jasper land clearing page.

Tree work around Jasper: storms, slopes and the lake
The storm record here
Walker County has seen what wind does to timber. The National Weather Service lists two tornadoes that crossed the county on April 27, 2011: the long-track EF-4 Cordova tornado and the EF-3 Parrish-Cordova tornado. Smaller storms do the same thing a few trees at a time. After any storm the mess is the same: trees across drives and fences, tops hung up overhead. See storm damage tree cleanup for how we handle those.
Hollows, ridges and mined ground
This is Cumberland Plateau country cut into hollows and ridge lines, with some ground that was mined for coal and reclaimed. Trees on a slope lean downhill and fall that way, and the ground under them may be loose spoil. Tracked machines are built for it. They hold on a grade and spread their weight on soft fill. When a stump comes out of a hillside around Jasper, the hole is filled and packed so it does not become the start of a gully.
Smith Lake shoreline
Lewis Smith Lake reaches into Walker County, and Alabama Power runs a Shoreline Management office in Jasper. The company says work in the lakebed, in its flood easement or in its control strip could require a permit, and its Smith Lake guidelines call for a written permit before construction starts. If your trees are near the water, ask that office before clearing. We clear to the limits you are given. Have your permit in hand, or ask us what to line up first.

How much is tree removal in Jasper, AL?
The figure comes after we see the trees, and the estimate is free. Count, size, slope, how close a machine can get, whether stumps are pulled and whether the wood is burned or hauled all move it. Small jobs carry a minimum to cover moving the equipment, and you hear that number before you commit.
Do you clean up storm-damaged trees in Walker County?
Yes. Downed trees, trees across drives and fences and broken tops hung in other trees are work we take, handled from the ground with the excavator and loaders. When a storm hits the whole county at once, call or text with what is down and what it is blocking, and we will tell you honestly where you fall.
Can you remove trees on a steep lot near Jasper?
In most cases, yes. Tracked machines work slopes that wheeled equipment will not, and the excavator can reach uphill or down from a stable spot. Very steep ground slows the work and changes the price, and we say so before starting. Send photos. If you are unsure a machine can reach it, call or text and ask.
Can you cut trees on a Smith Lake lot in Walker County?
Yes, we take lake lot work. Before cutting near the water, ask Alabama Power's Shoreline Management office in Jasper what is allowed on the shoreline strip it controls. Above that, tell us which trees stay and mark them. Many owners keep the bank covered and open only the view and the building spot.
