Call Huntsville Tree Removal Pros for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup in New Market.
Call (256) 798-0959New Market is an unincorporated community in the northeast corner of Madison County, about 17 miles northeast of Huntsville and six miles south of the Tennessee line. Around 1,500 people live here, and it's still rural country, with farmland and wooded ridges.
The Mountain Fork of the Flint River runs through the north side of New Market, and Backbone Mountain and other ridges of the Cumberland Plateau rise about 800 feet to the east. The New Market Historic District, several historic churches, and the Whitman-Cobb House are all on the National Register.
Trees along fence lines and field edges drop limbs on fences and crowd farm equipment. Clearing a whole row is usually a land-clearing job rather than a string of single removals.
Properties toward the ridges east of town have slopes and heavy tree cover. Removal on a slope takes more planning, since a tree can roll or slide once it's down.
Around the historic district and older homes, mature trees stand close to buildings and need careful, sectioned removal.
Huntsville Utilities serves New Market; their outage reports have named the New Market and Hazel Green areas. If a tree is on a line, stay well back, treat it as live, and call 256-535-4448. Call 911 first if there's fire, an injury, or a line across the road.
New Market is unincorporated, so there's no city tree ordinance, and we didn't find a Madison County permit for removing trees from your own land. A National Register listing like the New Market Historic District usually doesn't, by itself, restrict what a private owner can do -- but if your property is part of it and you want to be sure, ask before removing a large historic tree. Call Alabama 811 before any stump grinding so buried lines get marked.
Usually. On a hillside a tree can roll or slide after it's cut, so crews often take it down in sections or rig it. That adds time and can add cost.
Usually, yes. Trees along a fence can be cut in sections and lowered away from it. If a tree has grown into the fence wire, some fence repair may still be needed.
