Most people think of spring as storm season, but Alabama also experiences severe weather from November to December. Central Alabama has seen fall tornadoes and strong storms over the years. The calm weather in October is a great time to prepare.

Check for overhanging limbs, leaning trees, or any that have dropped large branches recently. Saturated winter soil and strong winds can topple trees in Birmingham's red clay.

This is a chance to make a plan while the weather is quiet. An ISA Certified Arborist can advise on what needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what's fine. If a storm hits, ACE is always ready for emergency response.

Where were you during the last big fall storm in Central Alabama? Did your trees come through okay? 🌳💨

Not every split or double trunk means a tree must be removed. In Birmingham, Homewood, and Vestavia, many mature oaks and maples have two trunks from a single point, which can fail in strong storms if left untreated. Removing them means losing decades of shade.

Cabling and bracing is a supportive solution. Our crew installs flexible steel cables between trunks to limit movement in winds. For lower cracks, steel rods may be added for extra support. This method is effective on otherwise healthy trees.

An ISA Certified Arborist can determine if your tree is a good candidate by assessing the union, surrounding wood, root zone, and canopy conditions. Some trees are suitable; some aren’t.

Ask our customers what they remember about working with ACE, and a lot of them mention the same thing: what the yard looked like when the crew pulled away. Complete cleanup isn't an add-on we upsell at the end. It's built into every job from the start.

That means chipping brush and hauling it off, raking the lawn and beds, blowing off the driveway, patio, and roof edges, and checking gutters when we've been working over the house. We also lay down protection under heavy pieces when the ground is soft, which matters with the wet clay soils around Birmingham, so rutting and turf damage stay to a minimum.

Fast turnaround matters to us, but so does finishing right. A crew that's quick to start and slow to clean up isn't really saving you time. Our goal is simple: you shouldn't be able to tell where the tree was, other than more sunlight in the yard.

What's the first thing you check after a contractor finishes work at your home?

Look closely at your Leyland cypress, arborvitae, and junipers. If you see small brown, cone-shaped bags hanging from the branches, those are bagworm cases packed with eggs for next spring.

Bagworms are common pests in Birmingham. Heavy infestations can severely damage evergreens. The best control this fall and winter? Simply pick off the bags by hand, cut the silk band around the twig, and dispose of them.

For larger infestations, ACE's integrated pest management can help. Our ISA Certified Arborist will assess the damage and recommend treatment timing for next spring while protecting beneficial insects.

Have you noticed little brown bags in your evergreens this fall? 🍂

Leaves are turning in Birmingham, but underground, tree roots are still active. Fall is an ideal time for deep root fertilization, delivering nutrients directly to the roots, especially in compacted clay soils. This supports root growth before winter and prepares trees for spring.

ACE's ISA Certified Arborist assesses canopy thinning, early leaf drop, and soil conditions to determine if fertilization is right for your tree. We customize our approach rather than using a one-size-fits-all solution; sometimes mulch, aeration, or deep watering may be better.

Did any of your trees look thin or drop leaves early this summer? 🌳

A tree removal isn't complete until the stump is gone. Old stumps hinder mowing, sprout stubbornly, and attract pests while occupying space for new trees.

ACE grinds stumps below grade using equipment sized for the job, from compact machines for tight spaces to larger grinders for big stumps. We mark utilities and work around irrigation and landscaping.

Keep the grindings as mulch or have us clean them up. Our ISA Certified Arborist can also advise on planting a new tree in the same area.

Protect your valuable trees with lightning protection! 🌳⚡ A system ensures that lightning strikes have a safe path to the ground, preventing damage to your tree.

Each system includes:
1. An air terminal at the top of the tree.
2. A copper conductor cable running down the trunk.
3. Ground rods driven into the soil.

Ideal for tall, isolated trees and those previously struck, our ISA Certified Arborist can assess if your tree needs protection. Is there a tree on your property that towers above others?

Almost every tree company says it is licensed and insured, and the phrase gets repeated so often it can start to sound like filler. At ACE, those words describe specific protections for the homeowner, and bonded adds a third.

Licensed means the company meets the requirements to do the work legally. Insured means that if a limb damages a roof or a worker is hurt on your property, the company's coverage handles it rather than your homeowner's policy. Bonded means a surety bond stands behind the company's obligations to its customers, an extra layer of accountability if a job is not completed as agreed.

Add an ISA Certified Arborist on staff, and the result is a company built to take responsibility for everything that happens on a job, from the first cut to the final cleanup. That standard matters most when the tree is large, and the house is close. Have you ever asked a contractor to show proof of insurance before work started?

Anyone who has lived through a Birmingham August knows how brutal late-afternoon sun is on a west-facing wall. A mature shade tree on the west or south side of a home blocks a lot of that heat before it ever reaches the siding, windows, and roof, which can take real pressure off the air conditioner during the hottest part of the day.

That same tree also shades the driveway and patio, softens heavy rain before it hits the ground, and adds the kind of curb appeal buyers notice right away on streets in Vestavia, Hoover, and Homewood. Mature trees take decades to grow, and a yard that loses one usually feels hotter and barer for years.

That is why ACE puts so much weight on keeping healthy shade trees healthy. Plant health care, careful pruning, cabling, and lightning protection are all ways to protect a tree that is already doing this much work. Which tree on your property do you most appreciate in the middle of summer?
