Gainesville Tree Service

Most single residential removals land between $350 and $3,500. Smaller trees under 30 feet run $350–$850, mid-size trees $850–$1,800, and big oaks and pines over 60 feet $1,800 and up. Cranes, tight access and after-hours storm work add to that. Your estimate is a fixed price.

Sometimes. The City of Gainesville and unincorporated Alachua County each have tree protection rules, and large or high-quality trees can need approval. Dead trees and trees documented as dangerous are often handled differently. We check which rules apply to your address as part of every estimate.

Not automatically. Laurel oaks past about 50 years often have hidden decay, so we look for fungus at the base, cavities and dead limbs. If the tree is sound we'll suggest a trim and a re-check in a year or two.

Yes. That's most of what we do in Gainesville. Limbs are cut in small sections and lowered on ropes, and a crane is used when nothing can be safely lowered.

It's quoted separately so you can choose. Most customers add it, and it's cheaper done the same day as the removal.

Yes. The storm line is answered 24/7. For trees on a structure we come out, make it safe, and document everything for your insurance claim.

Most single-tree removals in Gainesville are done in a few hours to one day, cleanup included. Big oaks over a house, crane jobs and multi-tree lots can take two days. We tell you the expected time on the estimate.

Usually only when a tree falls on a covered structure, like your house, garage or fence. A tree that falls in the yard without hitting anything often isn't covered. We photograph and document storm damage so you have what your adjuster asks for.

Late fall through winter is ideal for structural pruning on live oaks, since growth has slowed. Storm-risk work like removing dead limbs or reducing heavy ends over a roof is worth doing before hurricane season starts in June. Dead or hazardous limbs can come off any time of year.

Lines running pole to pole belong to GRU or Clay Electric, and only their crews work near them. We coordinate with the utility first, then handle the rest of the tree. The service drop running to your house is a separate case we'll walk you through on the estimate.

Many Gainesville HOAs, including larger communities like Haile Plantation, ask homeowners to get architectural approval before removing a tree. Check your HOA rules first. We can give you a written estimate and photos to include with your request.

Stump grinding takes the stump and main surface roots 6 to 10 inches below grade. You can keep the chips as mulch or we haul them off. Long surface roots running across the lawn can be ground out for an added charge.

Not if we can reach the tree and you've signed the estimate. Most customers are at work. We text when the crew arrives, send photos when we finish, and walk the job with you later if you want.

We use ground mats on soft lawns, plywood over pavers and driveways, and compact equipment through side gates. Logs are cut small and carried rather than dragged across the grass.
