Professional Tree Removal in Tallahassee
Safe, efficient removal of any size tree — from backyard saplings to massive oaks. Licensed, insured, and equipped for the job.
Not every tree gets to stay. Sometimes a tree is dead, dying, or just in the wrong place. Storm damage, root problems, disease, or a new construction project — there are plenty of good reasons a tree needs to come down. When that time comes, you want a crew that knows how to drop it safely without tearing up your yard or your neighbor's fence.
When Does a Tree Need to Come Down?
Dead branches at the top, fungus growing on the trunk, roots pushing up your driveway — these are signs a tree is past saving. A leaning tree that wasn't leaning last year is a red flag. Same goes for large cracks in the trunk or major limbs. If a tree is within striking distance of your house, your power lines, or your kids' swing set, don't wait for the next storm to make the decision for you. We'll come out and give you an honest assessment. If we think the tree can be saved with pruning or cabling, we'll tell you that instead.
Every Removal Is Different
A small pine in an open yard is straightforward. A 100-foot oak hanging over your roof with power lines on one side and a pool on the other — that takes planning, skill, and the right equipment. We handle both and everything in between. Our crew does technical climbing removals, sectional takedowns, and crane-assisted removals for the big stuff. We've taken trees off roofs, out of swimming pools, and from between buildings with inches to spare. The size of the tree doesn't scare us. The tight spaces don't either.
Licensed, Insured, and Doing It Right
Tree removal is dangerous work. That's not something we take lightly. Every member of our crew is trained, and we carry full liability insurance and workers' comp. That protects you. If an uninsured crew damages your property or someone gets hurt on your land, you could be on the hook. With Reed Tree Service, you're covered. We also handle any permits if your city or county requires them. We clean up everything when we're done — you'll never know we were there, except the tree is gone.
Our Tree Removal Process
We don't cut corners. Here's how every tree removal job works from start to finish.
Assessment
We walk the site with you, evaluate the tree's condition, check for hazards like power lines and structures, and give you a clear quote.
Planning
We figure out the safest approach — directional felling, climbing and sectioning, or bringing in the crane. We plan the drop zone and protect your property.
Removal
Our crew takes the tree down in controlled sections. We work efficiently but never rush. Every cut is intentional.
Cleanup
We haul off every branch, chip the brush, and rake the area clean. If you want the wood for firewood, just say the word.
