- Two oaks with a tight drop zone, crane-assisted
A 34-inch oak with very little room to fall and a 35 ft oak at the back of the lot came down with crane assistance and lift access, with neighbors’ trees crowding the way in. Our grapple truck hauled the wood, and two limbs over the driveway came off on the same visit.
Crane-assistedRemovalArborist letter - Sea grapes trimmed and the fence line cleared
Sea grapes had grown tall and wide, and bushes and saplings were pushing through the side fence. We brought the sea grapes down to about 8 ft, cut everything growing through the fence back to it, and hauled away an old debris pile.
PruningFence line - Dead branches out of a backyard pine
A backyard pine had three dead branches. A climber removed them, and the hedges were trimmed and shaped on the same visit.
ClimberPruning - Two old palm stumps ground out
Two palm stumps were left in the back of the yard, one in a mulch bed beside the shed. We ground both below grade and hauled away the grindings.

What we see on Altamonte Springs properties
Altamonte Springs packs a lot of mature canopy into older neighborhoods and lakefront lots. Many yards have laurel oaks, live oaks and pines that are older than the houses beside them, along with camphors and cherry laurels crowding fences and pool enclosures.
Laurel oaks are a common removal here. They’re shorter-lived than live oaks and often drop limbs or show decay as they age, so our ISA Certified Arborist checks them before we recommend taking one down. Lakefront lots and tight side yards mean access gets planned before the work starts.
Our crews prune to ANSI A300 standards: no topping, no lion-tailing and no stripping out the interior of the canopy. Altamonte Springs is part of our regular routes between Longwood, Maitland and Winter Park.

Permits
Tree rules differ between the City of Altamonte Springs, unincorporated Seminole County and HOAs, so we’ll help you check what applies to your property. Kevin’s Tree Service can assist with tree removal permit applications when required.
ISA Certified Arborist Oversight
Our ISA Certified Arborist reviews hazard trees, keep-or-remove decisions and pruning plans. Estimates for ordinary tree work are free. A formal arborist assessment or letter, for example to document a dangerous tree, is a separate paid service.
Equipment that fits the yard
We own the equipment most Altamonte Springs jobs need, so we plan the right setup for your property instead of waiting on rentals.
- Fassi 390 grapple-saw crane. Grips a section, cuts it and sets it down where we choose, so less climbing in dead or damaged trees and less rigging over fences.
- CMC 72HD spider lift. A tracked lift that fits through many backyard gates to reach oaks over pools, lanais and roofs.
- Chippers, loader and stump grinders. Brush is chipped on site, logs carried out without dragging them across the lawn, and stumps ground below grade.
For trees too large or too far from the street for our crane, we hire a larger crane and include it in your quote.
What tree work costs
Every job gets a free written quote with one fixed price. What moves the price most is the tree’s size and condition, what’s underneath it (roof, pool, power lines), how we get equipment to it, and whether stump grinding is included.

Altamonte Springs tree service questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Altamonte Springs?
It depends on where your property is and on the tree. Tree rules differ between the City of Altamonte Springs, unincorporated Seminole County and HOAs, so we’ll help you check what applies to your property. Kevin’s Tree Service can assist with tree removal permit applications when required. Certain trees on eligible single-family residential properties may qualify for an exemption under Florida Statute 163.045. Not every tree qualifies, and HOA requirements are separate. Professional arborist assessments and letters are separate paid services.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Estimates for ordinary tree work like removal, trimming and stump grinding are free, and you get one fixed price in writing. Formal arborist assessments and letters are a separate paid service.
What if a tree falls at night or on a weekend?
Call us. Phones are answered 24/7, and we dispatch a crew as availability, weather and safety allow. If anyone is hurt or a tree is on a power line, call 911 and the power company first.
Can you remove a tree in a backyard with limited access?
Usually. Our spider lift fits through many gates, a fence section can come down and go back up, or a climber does the work and the wood is lowered on ropes and carried out. We plan access with you at the estimate.
How often should oaks in Altamonte Springs be trimmed?
Mature live oaks often do well on a 2–3 year pruning cycle. Laurel oaks, which are shorter-lived and more prone to decay, and any tree hanging over a roof may need a look more often.
What’s included in your cleanup?
Brush is chipped and hauled away, wood is removed, and hard surfaces are raked and blown. When stump grinding is part of the job, grindings are hauled away unless you ask us to leave them for your beds.
Are you insured?
Yes. Kevin’s Tree Service carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.
