Complete Tree Services in Altamonte Springs
Tree Removal
From small ornamental trees to massive live oaks, our crews safely remove trees of any size in Altamonte Springs. We handle hazardous trees, dead trees, storm-damaged trees, and trees that need to come down for construction or renovation. Every removal includes full cleanup — we leave your property cleaner than we found it. Tree removal in the Altamonte Springs area typically costs between $377 and $1,331 depending on tree size, species, location, and complexity.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Regular trimming keeps your trees healthy, your property safe, and your curb appeal sharp. Our arborists follow ISA pruning standards — we never top trees or make cuts that damage tree health. We trim for clearance (roof, driveway, power lines), structure (reduce storm risk), and aesthetics. Trimming in Altamonte Springs typically runs $232–$958 per tree depending on size and access.
Stump Grinding
After a tree comes down, the stump needs to go. Left behind, stumps attract termites, create trip hazards, and block landscaping plans. We grind stumps 6–12 inches below grade so you can sod, landscape, or build right over the spot. Stump grinding typically costs $175–$550 depending on diameter.
Land Clearing
Building a new home, adding a pool, or developing a lot in Altamonte Springs? We clear land of any size — from a backyard section to multi-acre parcels. Services include tree removal, stump grinding, brush clearing, debris hauling, and grade preparation. We work with contractors, handle Seminole County permits, and preserve valuable trees you want to keep.
Storm Damage & Hurricane Debris Removal
Florida’s hurricane season brings serious tree damage risk to Altamonte Springs. When storms hit, our emergency crews respond 24/7 — fallen trees on structures, blocked driveways, and hanging limbs (“widow makers”). Call (386) 320-3169 anytime for emergency service.
Debris Cleanup
Whether it’s post-storm debris, a DIY project gone sideways, or years of accumulated brush and fallen branches, we haul it all away. Full lot cleanup, brush pile removal, palm frond hauling — we handle the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Pressure Washing
Trees create more than just shade — they drop leaves, sap, pollen, and organic matter that stains driveways, sidewalks, roofs, and home exteriors. Our pressure washing service restores your surfaces. Driveway cleaning typically runs $150–$300, house washing $250–$500, and roof cleaning $300–$600.
Altamonte Springs Tree Removal Permits — What You Need to Know
Altamonte Springs follows Seminole County’s tree protection guidelines along with its own municipal code:
- Arbor Permit required — to cut down, substantially alter, destroy, move, or effectively destroy **any tree** in the city. This applies to single-family lots, commercial, and multi-family properties.
- Permits are only issued for trees that are dead, dying, or in imminent danger of damaging property. — This is much stricter than Lake Mary’s 12-inch caliper threshold — Altamonte Springs protects virtually all trees.
- Trimming/pruning triggers a permit — if 25% or more of the tree canopy is removed.
- “Topping,” “lollypopping,” and “hatracking” are prohibited — — the tree’s normal canopy growth shall not be disturbed.
- Separate permit forms — exist for commercial/multi-family/HOA properties vs. one- and two-family dwellings.
