How the Tree Removal Service Works
-
Find Local Reliable Tree Service Companies.
Do a search online and try to contact local tree service companies with a good number of reviews, that are licensed and insured, and have been in business for at least 5 years. Try to gather at least three tree service companies.
-
Get In-Person Quotes.
Don't rely on companies that provide quotes over the phone; instead, get in-person quotes for your tree removal project. Some companies might offer a fixed fee for every tree removed, but it's not advisable to trust those companies.
-
Get an Arborist's Approval Letter for County Permits.
In South Florida, certain counties such as Miami-Dade and Broward require an Arborist's letter recommending the removal of a specific tree in order to obtain the county's permit. Ensure that the tree service company you choose to work with has an in-house licensed arborist to expedite the process.
-
Await Completion of the Tree Cutting Process.
Cutting down a tree can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the tree's size, and it requires at least 2 professionals to safely remove a tree. Most professionals will use cranes to facilitate the cutting process.
-
Have the Tree Stump Removed.
After cutting down a large-sized tree, the stump is typically left behind as it is part of a separate service. If you choose to have the stump removed as well, the tree service company will utilize stump grinding equipment to completely eliminate the stump from your property.
-
Delegate Tree Cleanup to the Company.
A tree cleanup service involves tidying up your yard and disposing of all tree logs at your local landfill. Reputable tree service companies typically include the cleanup fee in their initial quote. However, homeowners can negotiate and reduce project costs if they choose to handle the cleanup themselves.
Faqs
Frequently asked questions of our tree removal service.
How much does tree removal cost?
In South Florida, the average cost of tree removal is $2,250, excluding cleanup and stump grinding expenses. For complete removal of a large-sized tree, including stump removal and cleanup service, the average cost in South Florida is $3,120. It's important to note that the cost of tree removal can vary based on factors such as the tree's location, height, and trunk diameter. Therefore, obtaining in-person quotes is essential.
What are common reasons for tree removal?
There are several reasons why homeowners choose to remove trees from their properties. These reasons include potential property structural damage caused by invasive root systems, the presence of a dead tree with branches over the roof, a nearby nearly-dead tree posing a potential risk during hurricanes, or simply to enhance natural light inside their homes.
What should i consider before removing a tree?
Before removing a tree, consider that if a tree isn't a risk to the property, it can actually add value and appeal to potential buyers when selling a property. Trees are often viewed as positive features that can enhance the value of your property.
Do i need a county permit to remove a tree from my property?
In South Florida, most counties require a permit from the county to remove a tree from any property or at least a licensed arborist stating that the tree poses a potential threat to the property and requires removal. Many tree service companies have in-house ISA licensed arborists who can provide these letters.
Does Miami-Dade require a county permit to remove a tree?
Yes, Miami-Dade County requires either a permit or a letter from an arborist stating that a tree is either no longer alive or poses a potential risk to the property.
Is stump grinding necessary after tree removal?
No, stump grinding/removal is an optional service and not a requirement for tree removal. Additionally, counties do not typically mandate homeowners to remove stumps following tree removal.
How does a tree professional remove a tree?
The method used by a tree removal company to remove a tree can vary depending on the specific tree. Generally, there are three approaches to tree removal. For short trees, ropes or cranes may not be necessary, and the cutting process is relatively simpler. However, for medium to large-sized trees, tree service companies typically prefer using cranes as it ensures the safest removal process. In cases where a tree is situated in an area inaccessible to cranes, a professional tree climber with appropriate insurance and experience will be employed by the tree service company.
What's a certified arborist?
A certified arborist is an individual with extensive knowledge, dedication, and commitment to the arboriculture industry. They have obtained a certification that recognizes their expertise. In South Florida, many tree service companies require the expertise of a certified arborist to issue approval and suggestion letters for their clients. It is important to note that reputable arborists will only recommend tree removal if it is strictly necessary.
