Northwest Tallahassee's Residential Character
The residential areas northwest of downtown Tallahassee — including Myers Park, Maclay area, portions of the Thomasville Road corridor, and the communities between Thomasville Road and US-90 — have a mix of older established neighborhoods and newer development on the fringes.
The northwest corridor includes some of Tallahassee's most significant live oak stands, with older neighborhoods featuring mature canopy that has been growing for 50-80 years.
Tree Character in This Area
Live oaks predominate in the older Myers Park and adjacent neighborhoods — large, spreading specimens that define the residential character of northwest Tallahassee's historic areas.
Longleaf pine on properties adjacent to the Apalachicola National Forest management areas and in communities that developed on former pine habitat north of town.
Water oaks throughout the area's residential neighborhoods — planted in newer developments for quick canopy, now reaching middle age.
Planted species diversity: Northwest Tallahassee has had several waves of residential development, and the planted species reflect different eras — some older neighborhoods have unusual species from mid-century landscape fashion.
What We Handle Here
Large live oak maintenance: Pre-storm crown cleaning, dead wood removal, structural assessment for trees over structures.
Pine removal: Residential pines that have outgrown their locations or are showing decline.
Tree removal: Full removal when necessary — standard process.
