Most removals we do in Conway are close to something: the house, a pool enclosure, a fence on a tight side yard or a lakefront lawn. Each one gets a plan for how the wood comes down, where it lands and how equipment gets to it before anyone starts a saw.

When removal is the right call
- The tree is dead or dying. Dead pines and oaks get brittle quickly and shouldn’t be climbed, so we use our grapple-saw truck, a crane or a lift where we can.
- Decay at the base or a split trunk. Hollows, fungus at the root flare, cracks in the trunk or a co-dominant split that’s opening up.
- Storm damage that can’t be pruned out. A tree uprooted or leaning after a storm, a trunk broken in half, or a top that has failed.
- The wrong tree in the wrong place. Camphors and other fast growers pushing into the roof, the fence or a better tree.
Not sure? Our ISA Certified Arborist can tell you if pruning will do instead of removal. Many oaks just need a good prune.
Recent Conway removals
From our own job records, February 2025–August 2026. Listed by ZIP code only. We never publish customer names or addresses.
- Laurel oak trunk and a loquat, wood left for the owner
The owner wanted the remaining trunk of a 34-inch laurel oak at the front corner and a loquat behind the house taken out, with the trunk wood left on site. We removed both, left the trunk sections as requested, ground both stumps and hauled the rest away.
- Front-yard maple by the driveway
A maple beside the driveway was coming out. We removed it by lift, ground the stump and hauled away the debris and grindings.
- Crane-assisted backyard clearing
A 46-inch laurel oak had dropped a limb into the neighbor’s yard, a Norfolk Island pine in the middle of the backyard had died, and about 30 more trees and brush crowded the lot. With crane assistance where trees were tight to the house, we removed them all, ground every stump and hauled the debris. A certified arborist letter covered the removals.
- Three sabal palms inside a circle drive
Three 20 ft sabal palms stood inside the semicircle driveway. We removed all three, ground the stumps and hauled away the debris and grindings.
- Lopsided camphor over the roof
A multi-stem camphor in front of the home grew over the roof and had become badly one-sided. We removed it by lift, ground the stump and hauled the grindings. A certified arborist letter was included.
- Water oak behind a side gate, lawn protected
A water oak about 35 ft tall stood in the back corner, reachable only through a side double gate. We laid track mats over the work area and path, took the oak down piece by piece and left a flat stump for the owner’s flower pot. A certified arborist letter was included.
What happens on removal day
- Walk-throughWe reconfirm the plan with you: which trees, where the wood comes down, and how equipment gets in.
- ProtectionGround mats at entries, spotters at pools and service lines, a fence panel taken down and put back if access needs it.
- Controlled removalSections lowered on ropes, lifted out with our grapple-saw crane, or cut from our lift, depending on the tree.
- CleanupBrush chipped, wood hauled, beds raked and hard surfaces blown off. Stumps ground if they’re on your quote.
Climber, lift or crane?
We pick the method for each tree, not one method for every job.
- Climbing and rigging: for trees we can’t reach with equipment, like along a back property line where nearby oak roots need protecting.
- Our CMC 72HD spider lift: for backyard trees over pools and lanais. It’s tracked and fits through many gates a truck can’t.
- Our Fassi 390 grapple-saw crane: for dead or hazardous trees reachable from the street or driveway. It holds each piece while it’s cut.
- A hired larger crane: for very large trees or long reaches over a house. We arrange it and include it in your quote before the job is booked.
Stumps and cleanup
Stump grinding can go on the same quote. We grind roughly 4–12 inches below grade, depending on roots and site conditions, and can chase surface roots in beds. Choose whether the grindings are hauled away (best before new sod) or left for your beds.
Sometimes we recommend not grinding, for example when a stump shares roots with an oak you’re keeping. We’ll explain that at the estimate. More about stump grinding
Permits
Most of Conway is unincorporated, so Orange County tree rules usually apply; homes inside Orlando or Belle Isle follow that city’s rules. HOA rules are separate, and we’ll help you check what applies to your property. Kevin’s Tree Service can assist with tree removal permit applications when required.
Arborist letters
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.
Our ISA Certified Arborist can assess the tree and, when it qualifies, provide a letter documenting the risk. This assessment is a paid service, separate from your free removal estimate. About our ISA Certified Arborist
What affects the price
We price by the job, not by the hour. The biggest factors are the tree’s size and condition, what’s under it, how we get equipment to it, and whether a hired crane or stump grinding is needed. You get one fixed price in writing before anything is scheduled.
Insured crews
Kevin’s Tree Service carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Certificates of insurance are available upon request. Insurance details

Conway tree removal FAQs
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Conway?
It depends on where your property is and on the tree. Most of Conway is unincorporated, so Orange County tree rules usually apply; homes inside Orlando or Belle Isle follow that city’s rules. HOA rules are separate, and 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.
Can you remove a tree beside my house or over the pool?
Yes. That’s most of our Conway removal work. We take the tree down in sections and lower or lift the wood with ropes, our spider lift or our grapple-saw crane, depending on the tree and access.
What if there’s no room to drop the tree?
Then it comes down in sections. Depending on access, we use rigging, our spider lift, our grapple-saw truck or a crane to lower or lift each piece clear of the house, fences and neighboring trees.
Do you grind the stump too?
If you want. Stump grinding can go on the same quote, and you choose whether the grindings are hauled away or left for your beds. When a stump shares roots with a tree you’re keeping, we may recommend leaving it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Kevin’s Tree Service carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.
