Tree Service in Smiths Station, AL

Smiths Station sits right on the Lee County line, about 20 miles east of Auburn on US-280. The lots out here run bigger than what you find closer to Auburn, and those larger properties come with more trees — and more tree problems. Tree & Green Services covers Smiths Station the same way we cover Auburn: free estimates, same-day response when it's urgent, and ISA-certified arborists on every job.

What It Is Like Working Out Here

People in Smiths Station tend to have a different relationship with their trees than homeowners closer to Auburn. A lot of the properties out here on Lee Road 430 and US-280 East sit on half an acre or more. You get big pine trees shading the back of the yard, old hardwoods along the property line, and the occasional water oak that's been there since before the house was built. Those trees are nice — until they're not.

A pine that's 70 feet tall and leaning toward your roof is not a problem you want to wait on. Same goes for any tree that took storm damage and is hanging half-broken. The Lee County area gets hit by severe weather every spring and fall — the kind of storms that come up fast off the Chattahoochee corridor and leave a mess behind them. We get calls from Smiths Station after those storms pretty regularly.

Tree & Green Services has been doing this work in the Auburn-Opelika area for more than 15 years. We run ISA-certified arborists on every job, carry full insurance, and give free estimates before any work starts. That's true whether you're in a subdivision off Cherry Hill Road or out on a rural property closer to Valley.

What We See Most Out Here

Most of the calls we get from this area break down into a few common situations.

What to Look for Before Calling

Not every tree problem needs immediate action, but some do. Here are a few things that should prompt you to get a professional out to look at a tree on your property.

• Large dead limbs in the upper canopy — especially over the house, a fence, or a vehicle
• A trunk that leans more than it used to, or roots that are visibly lifting on one side
• Soft or spongy wood at the base of the trunk, or mushrooms growing around the roots
• Cracks running vertically through the trunk or at a major branch junction
• Any limb that came down in a storm and is still hanging or caught in another tree
• A tree that was topped or damaged previously and hasn't recovered well

Any of those are worth a free estimate. Some situations need attention right away. Others can be scheduled out. An arborist will give you a straight answer either way. The International Society of Arboriculture has solid guidance on tree risk assessment if you want to read more about how certified arborists evaluate these situations.
