Before You Decide To Remove, Read This First

Trim can grow back, and pruning corrects itself over a season, but removal is permanent. The tree removal decision should not be rushed into, and should not be ignored when the risk is genuine.

Our crew tells homeowners when the removal is the right call and when your tree condition can be resolved with trimming. We offer an honest assessment of your tree condition before a single tool leaves our truck.

Four Ways We Bring Down a Tree Without Bringing Down Your Property

We determine the tree removal method by evaluating the tree’s size, condition, and the surrounding ground conditions.

Directional Felling

A technique governed by ANSI Z133 safety standards that controls where the tree lands using a calculated sequence of notch cut, hinge wood, and back cut.

Sectional Removal & Rigging

The price we mention in the quote is the price you pay, with no add-on fees discovered at the end of the job.

Crane Assisted Removal

We use cranes when the stakes are too high for any other approach. The crane lifts the section or the entire tree out of position to a safe staging area.

Emergency & Storm Removal

Our emergency tree removal assesses the scene, identifies secondary hazards, and works in order to remove the greater risk first while documenting everything.

Florida Law, Permits & The One Statute That Could Save Your Time And Money

You have to face legal complexity in Florida for tree removal jobs. Here is what you need to follow to avoid costly mistakes.

Florida Statute 163.045

Florida law restricts local governments from requiring a permit or fee for removing a tree on residential property under one specific condition: a licensed ISA-certified arborist provides written documentation that the tree poses an unacceptable risk and removal is the only practical way. 

The document must be present on site during the work. The homeowners’ own judgment does not get accepted; only a signed written report from a qualified professional.

When the Problem Tree Isn’t Technically Yours

One of the most common calls we get is about a tree on a neighbour’s property that is dropping limbs or looking increasingly likely to fall in the wrong direction. Here’s how you can deal with it.

Trees on the Property Line

A tree whose trunk straddles a property line is jointly owned by both neighbours under Florida property law. Neither owner can remove the tree without the other's agreement.

Encroaching Limbs

Neighbor's branches that are crossing your property line can be pruned back to the property line without needing any permission from the neighbor. The pruning must follow ANSI A300 standards.

Neighbor Tree Posing Risk

Photograph the tree and give a formal notice to the neighbor in writing. The county code enforcement office can be contacted if the neighbor's tree poses a genuine public safety risk.

HOA Tree Disputes

Common area trees are the HOA’s responsibility. Trees on individually owned lots within an HOA are the owner’s responsibility but still require ARC or ARB approval.

Questions That Deserve Real Answers

Florida Statute 163.405 allows homeowners to remove any hazardous tree without a local permit. Homeowners just need to provide written documentation approved by a licensed ISA-certified arborist highlighting that the tree poses an unacceptable risk and removal is necessary.

The costs of tree removal depend on several factors, including tree size, complexity, accessibility, and proximity to nearby structures. We provide a clear quote before every job to help you understand the costs better.
