- Leaning live oak removed, three backyard oaks cleaned
A leaning live oak stood closest to the house in a tight back yard, a second oak had a big limb over the pergola, and two more carried dead and broken branches. From the lift we dismantled the leaning oak and ground its stump, took the pergola limb back to the trunk with a proper reduction cut, crown-cleaned the other oaks and hauled everything away.
RemovalTrimmingStump grinding - Driveway live oak and six queen palms
A live oak beside the driveway needed lifting and thinning, and six queen palms had seed pods and old fronds. From the lift we elevated and thinned the oak, removed deadwood 2 inches and larger and trimmed all six palms.
TrimmingPalm trimming - Big backyard live oak lifted off the roof
A large backyard live oak had its lowest lead lying on the roof and heavy deadwood overhead. From the lift we removed that lead back to new growth, raised the canopy 10 to 12 feet above the roof and cut out the large deadwood.
Trimming - Washingtonia palm at the front corner
A Washingtonia palm at the front corner of the house had seed pods and fronds hanging below the 10-to-2 position. We trimmed it and hauled the debris.

What we see on Ocoee properties
Ocoee mixes older homes near downtown and Starke Lake, under mature live oaks and laurel oaks, with newer neighborhoods where younger trees are planted close to houses, fences and pool enclosures.
Older areas bring big oaks over roofs and streets; newer ones bring trees that have outgrown the space they were given. Our ISA Certified Arborist checks a tree before we recommend taking it down, and many 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. Ocoee is part of our regular routes between Winter Garden, Apopka and Orlando.

Permits
Tree rules differ between the City of Ocoee, unincorporated Orange 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 Ocoee 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.

Ocoee tree service questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Ocoee?
It depends on where your property is and on the tree. Tree rules differ between the City of Ocoee, unincorporated Orange 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 prune young trees so they grow in well?
Yes. Structural pruning on a young tree, removing competing leaders and crossing limbs early, is the cheapest way to avoid big problems later. We follow ANSI A300 pruning standards.
How often should oaks in Ocoee 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.
