Questions we answer every storm season
Pricing, permits, insurance and what to do when a tree comes down. Can't find yours? Call the office.
Estimates & pricing
Yes. A certified arborist visits, walks every tree with you and sends a written, itemized price within 24 hours. There is no obligation and no pressure to book on the spot.
Most single-tree residential removals run between $950 and $4,800. Height, diameter, what sits under the tree and whether a crane is needed make the biggest difference. These are sample figures and your written quote is the final number.
Yes. Jobs over $1,500 can be split into monthly payments through our lending partner, with 12-month same-as-cash plans available for qualified homeowners. Approval takes about two minutes.
No. We publish storm rates before the season starts and never add surge pricing. After-hours emergency calls carry a flat, stated fee.
Storms & emergencies
Our average arrival for emergency calls over the last 12 months was 38 minutes. During named storms, calls are triaged by danger, with occupied homes and blocked exits handled first.
Get everyone out of rooms under the damage, stay away from any downed wires, and call our storm line. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer but do not try to move or cut the tree.
Crews stand down when sustained winds exceed safe working limits, usually around 35 mph. We stage equipment before landfall and start working the moment conditions allow.
We coordinate tarping with licensed roofing partners who work alongside our removal crews, so the tarp goes on as soon as the tree is off.
Insurance & permits
If a tree damages a covered structure like your home, garage or fence, most Florida policies cover removal, often with a per-tree cap. Trees that fall without hitting anything are usually not covered. Check your policy or ask your agent.
No. We document damage and provide itemized invoices and photo logs that support your claim. Coverage decisions are made by your insurance company.
Often yes in Tampa, Temple Terrace and unincorporated Hillsborough and Pasco County, depending on size and species. Florida law also allows removal of trees documented as dangerous by an arborist. We check rules for your address before quoting.
Yes. Our crews are led by ISA Certified Arborists, and we carry $2 million in general liability and full workers' compensation. Certificates are emailed on request.
Tree care & scheduling
Late winter through May is ideal, finishing before June 1. Our spring calendar fills early, so booking in January or February gives you the most flexibility.
Not usually. We need gate access and pets inside. Many clients meet the crew lead at the start, then get photos and a walkthrough call when the job is done.
Brush is chipped on site and hauled away with the logs. If you want firewood or mulch, tell us and we will leave it where you choose.
We use composite ground mats under lifts and loaders, and compact equipment where access is tight. Minor turf marks can happen in wet weather, and we rake and repair before leaving.
