Tree service in Macon-Bibb County
Tree removal and trimming across Macon-Bibb County, from the old shaded streets near downtown to the newer subdivisions in north Bibb and the rural west side.
Macon and Bibb County merged into one consolidated government on January 1, 2014, after voters approved it in 2012. Macon-Bibb County had 157,346 residents at the 2020 census. The city grew where the Ocmulgee River crosses the Fall Line, which once marked the upstream limit of river navigation.
Big trees on older lots
In-town neighborhoods like Vineville, Ingleside and Shirley Hills have mature oaks, pines and flowering trees that were planted generations ago, often on tight lots close to the street, with sidewalks, fences and garages in the drop zone. Removals there are usually done in pieces with rigging or a bucket truck, and the crew may need to plan around on-street parking.
North Bibb clay, south Bibb sand
Wikipedia's summary of Macon's geography notes rolling hills on the north side and flat plains on the south. That lines up with the Fall Line's soils: Piedmont clay up north and Coastal Plain sand to the south. Clay gets slick and soft after a soaking rain, which matters when a loaded truck or grinder has to cross the yard.
Storm history
Hurricane Helene left more than 6,000 Macon-Bibb families without power in September 2024. Tropical Storm Alberto in 1994 dropped roughly 24 inches of rain on Macon and caused major flooding along the river.
