St Pete Tree Removal

Small trees under thirty feet typically run $300 to $800, medium trees from thirty to sixty feet run $800 to $1,600, and large or mature trees over sixty feet run $1,600 to $2,500 or more. The spread comes down to species, lean, how close the tree is to structures or power lines, and whether a crane is needed to remove it safely.

It depends on the species and size. The City of St. Petersburg regulates removal of certain large "specimen" and protected "grand" trees, especially mature live oaks, within city limits, and a permit from the city's urban forestry office is typically required before those come down. We check protected status on every estimate and handle the permit paperwork for you when one is needed.

For genuine emergencies — a tree on a structure, blocking a driveway, or actively leaning after a storm — we run a 24/7 line and typically respond same day. Routine removals are usually scheduled within a few days to a week, and estimates happen within 24 to 48 hours in normal conditions.

Just one, and we don't inflate the price to make the trip worthwhile. Single-tree removals are our single most common job, and pricing follows the size and access of that one tree rather than a minimum job size.

Look for a sudden lean, fungus or mushrooms at the base, large dead limbs in the upper canopy, cracks running down the trunk, or a hollow sound when you knock on it. Any one of those on its own may just need trimming or cabling. Two or more together, especially near a structure, usually means removal is the safer call. We give you an honest read at the estimate.

Stump grinding mills the stump down eight to twelve inches below grade so you can replant or resod right over it, unlike full stump removal which pulls the root ball out entirely. It is priced separately from removal, typically $75 to $400 depending on diameter, and most homeowners have it done at the same visit as the tree comes down.

Yes, with priority scheduling for anything blocking access or threatening a structure. We photograph and document all storm damage before touching anything so you have what you need for an insurance claim, and our emergency line runs 24/7 during active storm season.

Once or twice a year for most sabal and queen palms in this climate, removing only dead or clearly declining fronds. Trimming more often than that, or cutting healthy green fronds for a "hurricane cut" look, actually weakens the crown and makes the palm more vulnerable in wind, not less.

Yes, regularly. If a tree just needs deadwooding, cabling, or another season, we say so rather than sell a removal. It costs us the bigger job today and generally earns the trim job now plus the removal referral later, which is a trade we are happy to make.

Yes, licensed and insured for exactly that kind of work. Removals near power lines, over roofs, and beside pools require certificated rigging and, in some cases, coordination with the utility company, and we carry the liability coverage that protects you if anything goes wrong.

Generally $1,200 to $5,500 or more per acre, depending on tree density, average trunk size, and how far debris has to be hauled. Vacant lots and overgrown building sites are quoted after a walk-through, since density varies enormously from a lightly wooded quarter acre to a densely packed one.

We accept card, check and bank transfer, and payment is generally due on completion after you have walked the finished job with us. For larger multi-tree or land-clearing jobs, staged payment terms can be arranged and are always stated in writing on the quote before you agree to anything.
