Tree Removal

We always do our best to protect your landscape during any type of tree work. For example, we place special mats on the ground to distribute the weight of our heavy equipment.

Our estimator will discuss potential issues with you during the initial site visit so you understand what might happen. 

A tree is cut off at the base. If the tree is growing on your property then yes, we will need to be physically on your property to remove it.

We prefer to meet with you prior to starting work to make sure we all agree on exactly what's being done and the expected outcome. Plus, we love meeting our customers! 

However, if you've already had a good conversation with our arborist and are not able to be present while work is being done, we can proceed with removal work with your approval - and as long as we have access to where the tree is growing.

We're lucking in South Florida to have a climate that allows tree removal to be done at any time of year. Whenever you're ready to take down a tree, just give us a call!

Topping (also called hatracking) does not make a tree smaller. Although it may initially look smaller, a topped tree responds by quickly putting out a LOT of new, weakly attached (unsafe) growth. You'll be trapped in a vicious cycle of having to cut off more and more of your tree every year to try to keep it small - and the tree will push out more growth every year until it runs out of energy and dies.

We do not top trees. No ISA Certified Arborist engages in this outdated and ineffective "pruning" method (except under a few very specific and uncommon circumstances).

Tree removal isn't as simple as many people think, especially in tight quarters and near areas with lots of people.

Hiring a fully-insured, licensed, certified arborist at a TCIA Accredited company will give you the best chance of a trouble-free, efficient, and safe removal (learn why here >>). Not surprisingly, this type of company will charge more to remove your tree than will an uninsured, unlicensed, inexperienced person or company.

We charge $250/hour for tree removal or a standard daily rate of $2,000. Most trees can be removed in a day or less, depending on their size, condition, and location.

In South Florida, all HOA's require authorization before you can cut down a tree - whether that's on common property or your own. Check your CCRs and management company for details before you book a tree removal service.

Most cities in South Florida require a tree removal permit. Call our office at 954-788-4000 to see what the requirements are in your city. We'll even help you get the necessary permit before work is done.

The type and size of power line dictates how we will approach performing the work. Our skilled tree removal team can often work safely near lower voltage power lines (such as those running to your house) if there's sufficient space. But lines running through a large tree may require a different approach.

One of our Certified Arborists will examine the tree and power lines to determine whether we can safely remove it in the available space, or whether we need to coordinate with the local power company to have power temporarily disconnected.

Wood chips from stump grinding can be removed or left in a pile on your property. You can discuss options during your meeting with our estimator and we'll write it into the proposal. 

We clean up all debris, including branches and other tree parts, and remove them from your property.

We're always available to our tree removal customers to come back and remove the stump at a later date. Because we'll have to mobilize our team and equipment a second time, be aware that the cost will be somewhat higher than if you have the stump removed at the same time as the tree.
