A note from Trenton
Why I started
Clemmons Tree.
I started Clemmons Tree Service in Cullman, Alabama, to bring careful, technical tree work to property owners across our area. The goal is simple — climb well, cut well, leave the site clean.
Tree work isn't complicated to describe. You walk the job. You make a plan. You rig what needs rigging, drop what's safe to drop, and load out the brush before you leave. The hard part is the discipline to do it that way every single time, on a Saturday morning storm call as much as on a Tuesday afternoon prune. That discipline is what we're built around.
Every job we take, big or small, gets the same standard. Planned before it starts. Executed with the right gear. Cleaned up completely. That's how we want to work, and it's the only reason we're here.

How we work
The gear and
the discipline.
Tree work is not magic. It's the right tool for the cut, the right rigging for the load, and the right plan made on the ground before anything goes up. This is what's on the truck and what we do with it.
Saws
- STIHL gas chainsaws — multiple sizes for the climb, the buck, and the limbing
- A top-handle saw for canopy work
- Pole saws for clearance pruning
Climb gear
- Saddle and full PPE — helmet, eye and ear protection, cut-resistant pants
- Climbing rope and rigging line rated for the loads we put on them
- Mechanical advantage and friction devices for controlled descent
Reach and access
- Bucket truck for jobs with the access for it — speeds up tall removals next to structures
- Rigging blocks and pulleys for piecing limbs down on tight properties
Cleanup
- Stump grinder for below-grade finish
- Hauling for brush, chips, and large rounds
When folks call us
The kind of work
we show up for.
If you're somewhere on this list, you're in the right place. If you're not — call anyway, odds are we've seen it.
Tree on a structure
A pine on the corner of the roof, a hardwood across the garage, a limb through the soffit — anything where the tree has made contact with the house, the shop, or the fence. We get it off carefully and document the damage as we go.
Dead or dying tree
Bark sloughing, mushrooms at the base, no leaves on a section of the canopy, woodpecker holes everywhere. Once a tree is past saving, the question is how to take it down safely before it falls on its own.
Storm damage
Leaders broken in a thunderstorm. Hangers over a roof after straight-line winds. A tree split down the middle from an ice load. Storm work is a big share of what we do — once it's safe for us to be there, we can be on site.
Tree leaning toward the house
Soil cracking on the windward side, the lean noticeably worse after a wet stretch, roots lifting on one side. Sometimes it can be cabled and saved. Often, by the time you've noticed the lean, it's a removal.
Crowding a power line or service drop
We don't touch the primary lines themselves — that's the power company's call. But anything growing into your service drop or threatening it from the side, we can prune for clearance or take the tree down completely.
Cleanup after building or land clearing
After a builder leaves, after you've cleared a lot for a shop or a new fence line — there's almost always a stump or three left. We grind them and clean the site.

Common questions
Common
questions.
If you don't see what you're looking for, give us a call.
- 01How do I get a quote?
- Call (256) 595-0939 or message us. We come look at the job in person — accurate quotes need eyes on the tree, the access, and what's around it. Estimates are free and there's no obligation.
- 02How quickly can you get out?
- Most weeks we can come look at the job within a day or two. The work itself is scheduled around weather and the size of the job — we'll give you a realistic window when we quote.
- 03Do you handle storm damage?
- Yes. Trees down on a structure, hangers over a roof, splits and broken leaders after a storm — these are all jobs we take on. Call as soon as it's safe to.
- 04Do you clean up the debris?
- Yes. Brush, chips, and chunks all loaded out unless you'd rather keep firewood or chips on site. Either way, the lawn and fence lines get left clean.
- 05What size trees do you work on?
- Anything from a 20-foot pear to a 90-foot oak. The size doesn't change the standard — just the rigging plan.
- 06Can you work around a structure or power lines?
- Most of the technical jobs we take are exactly that — trees over a roof, near service drops, between fence lines. We rig from the canopy down on those, dropping pieces small enough to land where we want them.
- 07Do you do landscaping or planting?
- We don't. We focus on tree removal, pruning, and stump grinding — the technical side of tree work. After we're done, the property is ready for whoever you have doing the planting and landscaping.
- 08Where are you based?
- Right here in Cullman, Alabama. We work across Cullman County and into the closest stretches of the surrounding counties. If you're not sure whether you're in our area, give us a call.
