Recent KTS Jobs: Roof and Road Clearance, Palm Removals and Stump Grinding
Completed jobs from our own records, April 2026–October 2026, listed by the city and ZIP code where the work was done: the same dead-tree, roof and roadside clearance work Goldenrod lots need. We never publish customer names or addresses.
- Rain tree and maple out, oak and cedar pruned
A golden rain tree by the back fence and a maple out front were coming out, an oak in back hung over the yard, fence and carport, and a cedar by the driveway had broken limbs. We removed the two trees by lift and flush-cut them, pruned the oak for clearance and weight, and cleaned and raised the cedar.
RemovalTrimming - Dead citrus, vine-covered palm and roof clearance
A dead citrus and a vine-covered sabal palm sat in the back corner, a camphor and a tabebuia hung over the roof, and a silk tree had dead branches at the top. We removed the citrus and palm, cut the vines at their base, gave the roof 10 feet of clearance from the camphor, took the low tabebuia limb off the roof and cleared deadwood and fallen pieces from the silk tree.
RemovalTrimming - Two oaks pruned and a queen palm removed
Two front oaks reached into the front of the house and over the road and sidewalk, and a queen palm stood between the lanai and the garage. From the lift we pruned and raised both oaks and removed the palm (the stump couldn’t be reached for grinding).
TrimmingRemoval - Stumps ground, palms and hedge trimmed
Two old stumps sat in the front flower bed and one by the back door, the robellini palms carried old fronds and seed pods, and a viburnum hedge had grown above the fence. We ground the three stumps and hauled the grindings, trimmed the palms and cut the hedge to 6 inches below the fence top.

Trees, wires and established lots
Goldenrod has many established lots where older oaks and pines grow close to houses, fences and the wires along the road. Planning around those lines and tight side yards is a big part of most jobs here.
- Service drops vs. main lines. We can cut limbs back off the wire to your house. Trees touching the main lines along the street are the utility’s job, and we’ll tell you which is which at the estimate.
- Dead pines. Dead pines get brittle fast. Our grapple-saw crane or the lift lets us take them down without climbing them.
- Two counties. Goldenrod straddles the Orange–Seminole line, so we check which county’s rules apply to your address.

What we see on Goldenrod properties
Goldenrod sits between Winter Park and Oviedo, with established neighborhoods, mature oaks and pines, and many lots with trees close to houses, fences and the road.
Dead pines and laurel oaks that have started dropping limbs are common removals here. Our ISA Certified Arborist checks a tree before we recommend taking it down, and many oaks only need a good prune.
Our crews prune to ANSI A300 standards: no topping, no lion-tailing and no stripping out the interior of the canopy. Goldenrod is part of our regular routes between Winter Park, Casselberry and Oviedo.

ZIP codes 32733 and 32792. Goldenrod is unincorporated and straddles the Orange–Seminole county line, so the county rules depend on which side you’re on. We work on both.
Permits
Goldenrod is unincorporated and straddles the Orange–Seminole county line, so county tree rules apply rather than a city’s, and which county depends on your address. 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.
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 Goldenrod 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.

Goldenrod tree service questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Goldenrod?
It depends on where your property is and on the tree. Goldenrod is unincorporated and straddles the Orange–Seminole county line, so county tree rules apply rather than a city’s, and which county depends on your address. 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.
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 pine near power lines?
We plan those carefully and use a lift or crane to control each piece. Trees touching the main power lines may need the utility involved first, and we’ll tell you at the estimate if that’s the case.
How often should oaks in Goldenrod 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.
