Our own equipment
We own the equipment most Oviedo jobs need, so we can plan the right setup for your yard instead of waiting on rentals.
Fassi 390 grapple-saw crane
It grips a section of the tree, cuts it, and sets it down where we choose. That means less climbing in damaged or dead trees, and heavy wood is lowered under control rather than dropped near your house, fence or pool cage.
Some trees are too large or too far from the street for our crane. For those we hire a larger crane from a crane company, and we tell you before the job is booked.
CMC spider lift
A compact tracked lift that reaches many backyards a bucket truck can’t, putting the crew up in the canopy over pools, sheds and fences.
Chip truck & chipper
Branches are chipped on site and hauled away in the enclosed chip box, so brush doesn’t sit in your yard waiting for pickup.
Compact loader
Carries logs and brush from the backyard to the street, so heavy wood isn’t dragged across your lawn and cleanup moves faster.
Stump grinder
Grinds stumps roughly 4–12 inches below grade, depending on roots and site conditions, so you can replant or lay sod.
ISA Certified Arborist Oversight
Our ISA Certified Arborist reviews hazard trees, keep-or-remove decisions and pruning plans before the crew starts, and writes arborist letters when a tree qualifies.
Working on Oviedo properties
Most Oviedo jobs are on established lots with mature live and laurel oaks, slash pines and palms close to houses, screened pools and fences. We plan the access route first, lay ground mats and lower wood on ropes: precautions that help protect roofs, pavers, lawns and irrigation around the work area.
Many live oaks only need structural pruning. Older laurel oaks get a closer look for decay before we recommend removal, and tall slash pines near a house are checked for lean and root problems. Our crews prune to ANSI A300 standards: no topping, no lion-tailing and no over-thinning.
Before hurricane season, removing deadwood and reducing heavy limbs over roofs and driveways lowers the risk of storm damage. After a storm, trees blocking driveways and hanging limbs come first. Our office is here in Oviedo, near Aloma Avenue.

Permits and HOAs
The City of Oviedo requires a permit to remove a canopy tree; palms, fruit trees and small understory trees such as crape myrtles don’t need one (City of Oviedo tree FAQ). If a tree on your home’s property is dangerous, an ISA Certified Arborist’s letter can document that under Florida law. HOAs often have their own rules, and we’ll go through what applies at your estimate.
What tree work costs in Oviedo
Real prices from our completed Oviedo jobs, June 2025 – October 2026. Ranges show the middle half of jobs, so some cost less and some more. Your written quote depends on the tree’s size, access, what’s underneath it, and whether a crane is needed.
How we worked out these numbers
We took all 151 completed Oviedo jobs from our job records and read each line item. Removal prices are per tree, using line items that describe a standing tree being removed; fallen-tree cleanups, “cut and leave” jobs, saplings and package-priced jobs were left out. Trimming and palm figures use only jobs that contained that one service. Card processing fees are excluded, and all figures are before any discounts.

Oviedo tree service questions
How much does tree removal cost in Oviedo?
On our Oviedo jobs, the middle half of tree removals cost $750–$2,500 per tree, with $1,500 typical, including hauling the debris away. Large oaks with trunks of 25 inches or more, or jobs that need a crane, ran about $2,750–$7,000. You get a fixed written quote after we see the tree.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Oviedo?
For canopy trees, usually yes: the City of Oviedo requires a permit to remove a canopy tree. Palms, fruit trees and small understory trees such as crape myrtles don’t need one (City of Oviedo tree FAQ). HOAs can have their own rules, so check yours too. We’ll go through what applies at your estimate.
Can an arborist letter replace the city permit?
Sometimes. Under Florida law (section 163.045), if an ISA Certified Arborist does an on-site risk assessment and documents that a tree on a single-family home’s lot poses an unacceptable risk to people or property, the city can’t require a permit, fee or replanting to remove it. Our ISA Certified Arborist can do that assessment and provide the letter when a tree qualifies. It doesn’t override HOA rules.
What if a tree falls at night or on a weekend?
Call us. Phones are answered 24/7, and we dispatch a crew as crew 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 that hangs over my house, pool cage or fence?
Yes. We take it down in sections and lower the wood with ropes, a lift or our grapple-saw crane, depending on the tree and access. We’ll explain the plan for your yard in the written quote.
How often should oak trees in Oviedo 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 over a roof may need checking 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, the grindings are hauled away unless you ask us to leave them for your beds.
How should palm trees be trimmed?
Conservatively: remove dead and hanging fronds and seed pods, and leave the healthy green crown. Over-cutting (“hurricane cuts”) weakens palms. That’s the standard our crews follow.
Are you insured?
Yes. Kevin’s Tree Service carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We can send a certificate to you, your HOA or your property manager. Insurance details
Can I finance my tree work?
Yes. Financing is available for jobs over $500. See financing options
