Flagpoles in Tallahassee

State capital and university town, inland and hilly, with the gentlest wind figures in Florida and the heaviest tree cover. We cover Tallahassee and the Leon County area, including the Capitol complex and downtown, Florida State University, Florida A&M University, Midtown, Myers Park, Frenchtown, Southwood, Killearn and the canopy roads.

Wind here. Tallahassee sits in an inland, north Florida hills area, which works out to roughly 120 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Tallahassee is the easiest wind sizing in Florida and the hardest placement. Leon County sits on red clay hills rather than sand, which is better ground for a footing than most of the state, and it carries the live oak canopy that makes the city what it is. That canopy is the real constraint, because a flag that clips a limb will be in ribbons inside a season, so we measure the fly zone before the sightline, and the canopy roads and protected trees have their own rules about what may be cut. Hurricane Michael was a reminder that an inland figure is not the same as a sheltered site, and exposed ground out toward the county line gets sized on its own. Capitol and campus work goes through more review than the engineering does, so build that time into the schedule.

Most of the people who call us from Tallahassee are state government buildings, university and college facilities, schools, churches, veterans posts, municipal buildings and downtown offices.
