Proudly Serving Oviedo Neighborhoods
We work across Live Oak Reserve, Kingsbridge, Twin Rivers, and along Mitchell Hammock, CR 419, and the Econ River corridor. Typical calls in 32765/32766 involve declining laurel oaks, storm‑tipped slash pines near property lines, and live oaks heavy over roofs and lanais.
Trimming follows ANSI A300—dead/crossing wood out, structure improved, and clearance set without over‑thinning. For removals, we use controlled rigging or a crane where it’s cleaner and safer. Debris is staged off hardscapes; turf and pavers are protected with mats as needed.
Trim or Remove? A Quick Decision Guide
- Choose trimming when branches brush a roof or screen, when you need sidewalk/drive clearance, or when structure can be improved without taking the tree out. We’ll set specific targets and keep the tree’s natural form.
- Consider removal if you see large dead limbs, trunk cavities, heaving roots, extensive decline, or a lean that worsened after storms. We’ll assess on site and outline rigging or crane options.
- After removals we can grind the stump, haul chips, and backfill for replanting or new sod.
Before We Arrive: Homeowner Prep Checklist
- Unlock gates; let us know about pets or alarm systems.
- Move vehicles from work areas and under overhanging limbs.
- Note irrigation heads and landscape lighting so we can protect them.
- For HOA neighborhoods, keep ARC emails handy—we’ll provide scope notes, photos, and COIs.
Safety, Standards & What We Don’t Do
Work is overseen by an ISA‑certified professional and follows ANSI A300 pruning standards. We do not top trees or perform “hurricane cuts” on palms—both practices harm structure and long‑term health. Instead, we use measured, structural pruning and controlled rigging, or a crane when it reduces risk and lawn impact.
Licensed, Insured & Documentation Ready
- Insurance: Active General Liability and Workers’ Compensation—COIs available on request.
- HOA & permits: We provide scope notes and site photos. Within Oviedo city limits, canopy tree removals often require a permit; palms and fruit trees are typically exempt. We’ll advise during your estimate and help with the paperwork.
- Debris & cleanup: Brush and logs hauled away; hardscapes blown and raked clean.
Spotlight: Live Oak Clearance in Alafaya Woods
A mature live oak was shading a driveway and brushing a pool screen. Access was tight with pavers to protect. We staged mats from the street, set a compact lift, and hand‑rigged over landscaped beds to avoid tracks and fence scuffs. Scope: remove deadwood, raise canopy for vehicle clearance, and thin select interior branches to improve airflow while preserving the tree’s natural form. The homeowner opted for light, biennial touch‑ups so future visits are quick and affordable.
Common Species & Best‑Practice Care
- Live oak (Quercus virginiana): Great wind performer when kept balanced. We clear rooflines and pool enclosures and maintain strong scaffold structure.
- Laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia): Faster‑growing and shorter‑lived; needs periodic risk‑reduction pruning and monitoring for decline.
- Slash pine (Pinus elliottii): We remove dead limbs, reduce wind‑sail if warranted, and keep clearance around drives and service drops.
- Sabal palm (Sabal palmetto): Clean brown fronds and seed pods only—no hurricane cuts.
Equipment & Crew Built for Oviedo Jobsites
We roll out each morning with a 5–6 person crew—one is a certified arborist—and roughly half a million dollars’ worth of professional equipment. That capability lets us work efficiently and safely, even on complex residential lots.
- Aerial lift on turf‑friendly tires: Requires an 8′ gate opening; paired with ground mats to protect lawns and driveways.
- Grapple & chip trucks + large chippers: Fast brush/log handling and clean haul‑away.
- Loaders & rigging gear: Low‑impact material movement; controlled sectional takedowns.
- Stump grinders: Depths set to your replanting or resodding needs; clear grindings options on your quote.
- All the saws & tools it takes: Because tree work is one of the most demanding jobs there is.
Pricing & Estimates—What Affects Cost
Every property is different, but tree work in Oviedo generally comes down to access, size, risk, and cleanup. We price by the scope, not by the hour, and put everything in writing so you can compare options.
- Access & protection: Narrow side yards, pool cages, and turf protection mats add setup time but prevent damage.
- Height & complexity: Tall pines and large oaks near structures may require sectional rigging, our tire‑based aerial lift (needs an 8′ gate opening), or a crane. Used with ground protection mats, the lift helps many projects move faster while keeping lawns and driveways safe and improving crew safety.
- Debris (limbs, brush, logs): Standard service includes haul‑away of tree debris we generate unless you request otherwise. We stage material to keep drives and walkways usable during the job.
- Stump grindings (mulch): If stump grinding is on your quote, you’ll choose one of two options—haul‑away (we remove bulk chips and leave the area level or with a slight mound), or leave a chip mound in place. Chip mounds don’t disappear on their own; if you want the spot flat, plan to spread or repurpose chips.
- Timing: Storm season and emergency calls can affect scheduling windows.

Aftercare & Replanting Ideas
After trimming, light water and mulch at the dripline helps trees recover. After stump grinding, your quote includes grindings (mulch) options—either haul‑away (bulk chips removed; area left level or with a slight mound) or leaving a chip mound in place. Chip mounds won’t disappear on their own; if you want the area flat, plan to spread or repurpose the chips (e.g., garden beds). For replanting or new sod, let us know during the estimate so we can grind to the depth you need.
