Tree service in Tuscaloosa, AL
Tuscaloosa sits on the Black Warrior River, and Lake Tuscaloosa lies entirely inside the city limits. The city is known as the Druid City for the water oaks planted along its downtown streets since the 1840s, so large mature trees close to homes are part of life here.
- Tuscaloosa is the county seat of Tuscaloosa County, about 60 miles southwest of Birmingham.
- Major roads include I-20/59, US 82 (McFarland Boulevard), US 11, US 43 and SR 69.
Tuscaloosa has been hit by major tornadoes, including an F4 on December 16, 2000 and an EF4 on April 27, 2011, according to the National Weather Service. After storms like these, fallen trees and broken limbs are common, and fast cleanup matters. Source: National Weather Service
