Call Huntsville Tree Removal Pros for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup in Owens Cross Roads.
Call (256) 798-0959Owens Cross Roads sits southeast of Huntsville on US 431, in a valley cut by the Flint River with Green Mountain to the west and Keel Mountain to the east. It was a town until October 2022, when it became a city after passing 2,000 residents. The 2020 census counted 2,594, and 2025 estimates put it above 3,300.
That setting drives the tree work. Lots on the mountainsides have slope, which changes how a tree can be dropped and how equipment gets in. Down in the valley, trees near the Flint River grow in wetter ground.
On a hillside, a cut tree can roll or slide, and equipment may not be able to reach it directly. Sloped removals often take rigging and more time.
Riverside trees in soft, wet ground are more likely to uproot in storms, especially after several days of heavy rain.
With several hundred new residents in just a few years, more lots are being built on -- which means more trees being cleared, or left standing close to new homes.
Huntsville Utilities provides electricity in Owens Cross Roads; the city's own Electric Department page sends residents to them. If a tree is on a line, stay back, treat the line as live, and call 256-535-4448. Call 911 first if there's fire, an injury, or a line across US 431 or any other road.
Owens Cross Roads is an incorporated city. We didn't find a city tree ordinance for residential lots, but call City Hall before removing a large tree to be sure. If your project means clearing land near the Flint River or a creek rather than taking out one tree, ask the city whether any erosion-control rules apply before you start.
Often. On a slope, crews may have to rig the tree down in sections and carry the wood out by hand or with smaller equipment. An on-site look is the only way to price it accurately.
A city, since October 2022. It was a town from 1967 until its population passed 2,000.
