Affordable Tree Service in Florence, AL

Florence is the largest city in the Shoals and carries more than 190 years of history in its neighborhoods. The older residential streets near the University of North Alabama, particularly around Wood Avenue, Hermitage Drive, and the blocks surrounding the historic UNA campus, are lined with massive white oaks, water oaks, and Southern magnolias that have been growing for 60 to 100 years. Beautiful as they are, trees of that age develop dead limbs, compromised crowns, and root systems that can heave driveways and sidewalks over time. We work in these neighborhoods regularly and know exactly what it takes to take down a large hardwood on a tight lot without damaging the home, fence, or landscaping around it.

The areas closer to the Tennessee River, near McFarland Park and the riverwalk, deal with different conditions. River-bottom soil stays saturated longer after heavy rain, which weakens root systems and makes trees more likely to lean or tip after a storm. Properties along Royal Avenue and Helton Drive near the river also collect algae and mildew on driveways and concrete from the humidity off the water. Our soft-wash pressure washing removes that buildup without damaging surfaces.

The humidity off the Tennessee River and the shade from large canopy trees creates the right conditions for algae, mold, and mildew to build up on driveways, sidewalks, and house exteriors across Florence. Homes near McFarland Park and in the older neighborhoods around the Rosenbaum House area often see green-black staining on concrete within a season or two of installation. That is not just an appearance problem, algae on concrete or wooden decking becomes a serious slip hazard.

We pressure wash driveways, concrete pads, house siding, brick, and roofs throughout Florence. For roofs, we use a low-pressure soft wash method that removes the algae without blasting granules off asphalt shingles the way a high-pressure wand can. For driveways and concrete patios, we use appropriate pressure for the surface and follow up with a treatment that slows regrowth. Most Florence driveways we wash have not been cleaned in several years, and the results are dramatic.
