Complete Tree Services in DeLand

Tree Removal

From small ornamental trees to massive heritage live oaks, our crews safely remove trees of any size in DeLand. We handle hazardous trees, dead trees, storm-damaged trees, and trees that need to come down for construction or renovation. DeLand’s older neighborhoods — particularly around Stetson University and the Historic Garden District — have large canopy trees that require expert removal techniques. Every removal includes full cleanup — we leave your property cleaner than we found it. Tree removal in DeLand 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. DeLand’s live oaks, in particular, benefit from proper structural pruning that reduces storm vulnerability while preserving their iconic form. Trimming in DeLand 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

DeLand is experiencing significant growth with 107+ new home communities currently active from builders like Lennar, D.R. Horton, Maronda Homes, and Garber Communities. We clear land of any size — from a backyard section to multi-acre parcels for new developments. Services include tree removal, stump grinding, brush clearing, debris hauling, and grade preparation. We work with contractors, handle Volusia County permits, and preserve valuable trees you want to keep.

Storm Damage & Hurricane Debris Removal

DeLand sits in a high-risk hurricane zone with 80 hurricanes recorded nearby since 1930. Recent storms have hit hard:

• Hurricane Milton (October 2024) — $267 million in damages across Volusia County affecting 5,100+ properties. Severe flooding in DeLand, especially near the St. Johns River. Trees crashed onto cars and homes throughout the city.
• Hurricane Matthew (October 2016) — Significant tree damage, at least one fatality in DeLand from a falling tree, widespread power outages.
• Hurricane Irma (September 2017) — Major wind damage and extended power outages in the DeLand area.
• Hurricane Ian (September 2022) — Wind and rain damage throughout Volusia County.

Our emergency crews respond 24/7 for storm damage — fallen trees on structures, blocked driveways, and hanging limbs. 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.
