Tree removal
Dead, dying, leaning and in-the-way trees taken down safely — climbed and rigged piece by piece near the house and the pool cage, craned when that's the smart way, dropped whole when there's room.
Removal details & pricing
Tree trimming & pruning
Canopy lifting, deadwooding, structural pruning and clearance from roofs, wires and driveways — cuts made where the tree can seal them, never topped.
Trimming & pruning
Palm trimming
Sabal, queen, Washingtonia and date palms cleaned of dead fronds, seed pods and boots — done to the University of Florida standard, not hurricane-cut.
Palm care
Stump grinding
Stumps ground 8–12 inches below grade, surface roots chased, chips raked and the hole backfilled so you can sod or plant over it.
Stump grinding
Storm cleanup & lot clearing
Trees on roofs and lanais, hanging limbs, blocked driveways — any hour. Plus selective lot clearing for new builds, pools and additions with the permit paperwork done.
Storm & lot clearing
Free tree inspection
Not sure whether that oak is safe? Our arborist will look at it, tell you honestly, and put it in writing if it needs to come down.

Palm Coast was planted fifty years ago — all at once
When ITT laid out Palm Coast in the early 1970s, the lots in the F, R, P, B and W sections were cleared, built and landscaped within a few years of each other, mostly with laurel oaks, water oaks and slash pines because they grow fast. Fifty years later those trees are hitting the end of their lives at the same time: laurel oaks hollow out at 40–60 years, slash pines snap in a hurricane, and every October we pull one or the other off a lanai.
That's the Flagler County reality: sandy soil that doesn't anchor a tall pine, canopy roads full of aging oaks, salt wind on the Hammock, and a hurricane season that has given us Matthew, Irma, Ian, Nicole and Milton in nine years. So we inspect before we sell you anything, prune instead of top, trim palms instead of butchering them, and pull the city permit rather than hoping code enforcement doesn't drive by.
And because we're here year-round, we're the crew that answers when the storm passes — not the trucks that show up with out-of-state plates for two weeks and disappear.
Four steps, no surprises

Tell us what's going on — a leaning tree, a palm that needs cleaning, a stump in the way, a lot to clear. We answer around the clock.
Free on-site look
We come out, look at the tree, the access and what's under it, and tell you plainly: prune it, take it down, or leave it alone.
Written price & permit
An itemized price good for 30 days, and the City of Palm Coast permit or arborist letter handled if the tree needs one.
Done, chipped, raked
Most jobs are finished in a day. Wood chipped, debris hauled, lawn raked, driveway blown off. Stump grinding scheduled if you want it.

Questions Palm Coast homeowners ask us
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Palm Coast?
Usually, yes. The City of Palm Coast requires a permit to remove any tree six inches or more in trunk diameter measured 4½ feet above the ground (four inches if it was counted for landscape credit when the lot was built). The exception is Florida Statute 163.045: if an ISA Certified Arborist documents in writing that the tree is a danger to people or property, you can remove it without a city permit. We have an arborist on staff, we write that letter when it's honest to do so, and we pull the permit when it isn't.
How much does tree removal cost in Palm Coast?
Most removals land between $450 and $2,500. A small palm or a 30-foot pine on an open lot is on the low end; a 60-foot laurel oak leaning over the house, a screened pool enclosure or a neighbor's fence, which needs a crane or a climber rigging every piece down, is on the high end. Stump grinding is priced separately. You get a written price on site before anything is cut.
Why does everyone say laurel oaks are a problem?
Because they are. Laurel oaks were planted by the thousands when ITT laid out Palm Coast in the 1970s, they grow fast, and they start hollowing out at 40 to 60 years old — which is right now. They look fine from the outside until a limb drops on a car or the whole tree goes over in a storm. Live oaks, by contrast, can go two hundred years. If you have a big oak near the house and aren't sure which it is, that's what a free inspection is for.
Can you trim my palms so they don't need it again for a while?
We can trim them properly, which is not the same thing. The 'hurricane cut' that leaves a pineapple of five fronds on top weakens the palm, invites disease and doesn't make it safer in a storm. We remove dead and dying fronds, seed pods and boots, and leave the green fronds above the horizontal — the way the University of Florida recommends. Sabal palms need it about once a year, queens twice.
Do you really answer at night?
24 hours a day, every day, hurricane season included. When a pine comes through the lanai at 2 AM, the first hour matters. Call, tell us what's happened, and you'll get a callback with a plan and a time — not voicemail.
