Tree Pruning

Proper pruning maintains tree health, structure, and safety by removing deadwood and shaping growth. We use industry-approved techniques to enhance aesthetics while preventing hazards. Our certified arborists tailor pruning plans to each tree's species and environment, ensuring long-term vitality and structural integrity.

Hazardous Removal

We safely remove unstable trees posing threats to structures or people using specialized equipment and precision techniques. Our crews assess risks from decay, storm damage, or structural weakness before executing removals. Safety protocols ensure minimal landscape disruption while eliminating potential hazards completely.

Emergency Services

Available for urgent tree emergencies involving property damage or safety threats, we respond promptly to fallen trees. We coordinate with insurance providers to expedite claims and focus on securing properties by removing debris and recommending repairs. Emergency work prioritizes rapid resolution while maintaining technical standards.

Root Management

Healthy root systems ensure tree stability and longevity through proper soil management and maintenance. We address girdling roots, compaction, and construction-related damage using air excavation to expose and correct issues. Our techniques prevent structural failures while preserving root health during landscaping projects.

Pest Control

We protect trees from infestations using eco-friendly treatments targeting common pests without harming beneficial organisms. Our approach includes identifying pest species, assessing damage severity, and implementing biological or chemical controls. Regular monitoring prevents future infestations while maintaining ecosystem balance around treated trees.

Professional staff and crew!! We are very pleased with their work, which involved taking down a massive Water Oak that was dying and another large hardwood tree that was damaged by Hurricane Zeta. Both of the these trees were near buildings. Theres no doubt we hired the best tree company in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. Now, they are not inexpensive, but when the crew put up two large shields at a door and window to protect the building from possibly flying errant wood, I knew and understood the costs involved. At the end of the day, You get what you pay for, and we couldnt be more

I thought they did a good job until they got ready to leave. In the process of getting their lift out of my yard they managed to run into a container that was housing clay pots. They managed to break several clay pots and clay saucers. Then when I turned on my irrigation system, I found out they had dropped a limb on the trees in the front yard, and it landed on the irrigation riser bending it over, and causing it to no longer function. Would not use again, nor could I recommend them. .

I was very pleased with the work that the Chris Francis team did for me. They were very well equiped to handle large jobs. They were easy to communicate with and worked quickly and efficiently to finish the job. Their clean up after the job left nothing needing further attention.
