Tree and Stump Removal Near Me — One-Visit Service in Central & Northeast Florida
If you need a tree taken down and the stump ground out, you shouldn’t have to hire two companies, pay two trip charges, and schedule two appointments. Florida’s Tree Masters handles the full job — tree removal and stump grinding — in a single visit across Volusia, Flagler, Seminole, St. Johns, Orange, Duval, and Clay Counties.
Our crews carry stump grinders on the same trucks as our tree equipment. The moment the tree is down and hauled away, the grinder rolls in and the stump disappears. One crew. One invoice. One finished yard.
Tree and Stump Removal Near Me — What’s Included
A complete tree and stump removal job covers every step from the first cut to the final cleanup. When you book with Florida’s Tree Masters, the included scope is always:
- Full tree removal — felling or sectional dismantling, whichever the space requires
- All wood and debris hauled away — limbs, trunk sections, brush, and chips
- Stump grinding 6-12 inches below grade — deep enough to sod, landscape, or build over
- Yard cleanup — every branch and woodchip blown, raked, and removed
- Permit handling — we pull permits for protected trees and handle any city inspections
- Insurance coverage — full general liability and workers’ compensation on every job
The stump grindings are typically left on-site as fill for the hole — they break down into soil over a season. If you want them hauled away for immediate sod or landscaping, we can do that for a small add-on fee.
Does Tree Removal Include Stump Grinding?
Most tree companies quote stump grinding as a separate line item — or refer it out entirely. That means you pay a second trip charge, wait for a second crew to come out, and live with an ugly stump in your yard until then.
At Florida’s Tree Masters, stump grinding is not an afterthought. It’s part of the job. We bundle tree removal and stump grinding on the same day, by the same crew, on the same invoice. Customers who bundle save an average of $100 or more compared to booking the two services separately with different providers.
Tree and Stump Removal Cost in Florida
Combined tree + stump pricing depends on the size of the tree, the diameter of the stump, access conditions, and whether the tree is near structures or power lines. Below are the real ranges we charge across our 7-county Florida service area in 2026.
Tree Removal by Height
| Tree Size | Height | Typical Cost | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Under 30 ft | $200 – $500 | Crape myrtle, small palm, ornamental |
| Medium | 30 – 60 ft | $400 – $900 | Laurel oak, water oak, medium pine |
| Large | 60 – 80 ft | $800 – $2,500 | Live oak, mature pine, royal palm |
| Very Large | 80 ft+ | $2,000 – $5,000+ | Heritage oak, large multi-trunk |
Crane-assisted removals for trees near structures, pools, or power lines typically start around $1,500 and scale with tree size. See our full tree removal cost guide for more detail.
Stump Grinding by Diameter
| Stump Size | Diameter | Typical Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Under 12 in | $175 – $225 | Sapling or small ornamental stump |
| Medium | 12 – 24 in | $225 – $325 | Most residential stumps |
| Large | 24 – 36 in | $325 – $425 | Mature oak, pine, palm stump |
| Very Large | 36 in+ | $425 – $550+ | Heritage oaks, multi-trunk stumps |
Every stump we grind goes 6-12 inches below grade — deep enough that you can sod, landscape, build, or just mow right over it. See our stump grinding cost guide for multi-stump discounts and access-related pricing.
Combined Bundle Pricing
| Job Size | Tree + Stump Combined | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Small | $375 – $725 | Small tree with small-to-medium stump |
| Medium | $625 – $1,225 | Medium tree with medium stump (most residential jobs) |
| Large | $1,125 – $2,925 | Large tree with large stump |
| Very Large | $2,425 – $5,550+ | Very large tree + oversized stump, may need crane |
Every estimate is free and includes the exact bundle price — no surprise add-ons, no hidden stump fees.
Stump Grinding vs Stump Removal — Which You Need
These terms get used interchangeably, but they mean very different jobs:
- Stump grinding — A machine chips the stump 6-12 inches below ground. The roots are left to decompose naturally underground. This is what 95% of residential customers actually need. Fast, affordable, finished same-day.
- Stump removal — The entire root ball is physically excavated out of the ground. Leaves a large hole that needs backfill. Costs 3-5x more than grinding. Only necessary if you’re pouring a foundation or installing utilities directly over the root zone.
When in doubt, grinding is the right answer. We’ll tell you honestly at your free estimate whether a full extraction is actually needed — for most jobs, it isn’t.
Our Tree and Stump Removal Process
Free Estimate
Text or call. One of our ISA-certified arborists visits your property, walks the job, and quotes the combined tree + stump price on the spot.
Schedule & Permit
We pick a date that works for you and handle any city or county permits for protected trees (oaks, heritage species).
Tree Removal
Crew arrives, protects the surrounding yard, and takes the tree down using felling or sectional dismantling — whichever is safest for the space.
Debris Haul
All limbs, trunk sections, and brush are loaded out. Your yard is clear before the grinder rolls in.
Stump Grinding
Same crew, same truck. The grinder chips the stump 6-12 inches below grade in one pass.
Final Cleanup
Every chip, branch, and leaf is blown, raked, and hauled. You walk the yard with us before we leave.
Why Homeowners Choose One-Visit Tree + Stump Service
Hiring two separate companies for the tree and the stump sounds fine until you actually try to schedule it. Here’s what our customers tell us they hated before they found us:
- Two trip charges. Most tree companies add a minimum trip fee. Two companies = two fees.
- Two scheduling windows. The tree guy comes Tuesday. The stump guy comes “sometime next week.” Your yard looks like a disaster for 10 days.
- Two invoices, two insurance certificates, two sets of phone tag. If anything goes wrong, nobody takes ownership.
- A visible stump for weeks. Your neighbors see it. Your kids trip over it. It attracts bugs.
With our bundle, the whole job is one call, one crew, one day, one invoice. The finished yard is the only thing your neighbors see.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do tree companies remove stumps too?
Most tree companies remove the tree but quote stump grinding separately or refer it out. Florida’s Tree Masters handles both in a single visit — our crews carry stump grinders on the same trucks as our tree equipment, so you get one invoice, one scheduling window, and a fully finished job.
Does tree removal include stump grinding?
It depends on the company. Most standard tree removal quotes do not include stump grinding — you’ll pay an additional $175-$550 for that. At Florida’s Tree Masters, we bundle the services on the same visit and discount the combined job. Ask for our bundle pricing when you request your free estimate.
How much does it cost to remove a tree and stump together?
Combined tree + stump removal in Florida typically ranges from $375 for a small tree with a small stump, up to $5,500+ for a very large tree (80+ feet) with a very large stump (36+ inches). Most residential jobs fall in the $750-$2,000 range. Our bundle pricing saves $100+ vs hiring two companies.
Is stump grinding necessary after tree removal?
Stump grinding isn’t legally required, but leaving a stump creates problems: it attracts termites and carpenter ants, sprouts new shoots, trips kids and guests, and prevents you from mowing or replanting. Grinding the stump 6-12 inches below grade lets you sod, landscape, or build over it.
How long does tree and stump removal take?
Most residential tree + stump jobs are completed in 4-8 hours, same day. Larger multi-tree jobs or crane-assisted removals can take 1-2 days. We confirm the timeline during your free on-site estimate so you can plan around the work.
Can you remove a tree and grind the stump in the same day?
Yes. Same-day tree removal + stump grinding is our standard process when scheduling allows. The crew that takes down the tree grinds the stump as soon as the trunk is clear, so you don’t wait for a second truck or a second appointment.
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding uses a machine to chip the stump 6-12 inches below ground level, leaving the roots to decompose naturally. Stump removal means physically digging out the entire root ball — a much larger job that leaves a big hole and costs 3-5x more. For almost every residential job, grinding is the right answer.
Do you haul away the wood and grindings?
Standard tree removal includes hauling away all felled wood and debris. Stump grindings are typically left on-site as backfill for the hole — they decompose into soil within a season or two. If you want the grindings hauled away for sod or landscaping, we can do that for a small additional fee.
What is the cheapest time of year for tree and stump removal in Florida?
Late fall through early spring (November through March) is typically slower season in Florida, so pricing can be slightly more flexible and scheduling is faster. However, hazardous or storm-damaged trees should be removed immediately regardless of season — waiting until hurricane season often costs significantly more if the tree comes down on its own.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Florida?
Most Florida cities and counties require permits for removing protected trees — typically live oaks, laurel oaks, and other native species above a certain trunk diameter (usually 4-6 inches DBH). Dead or hazardous trees often qualify for expedited permits. Florida’s Tree Masters handles the entire permit process, from application through final inspection, so you don’t deal with city hall.
