Milton tree removal after Hurricane Isaias
Whiting Field recorded a 114 mph gust during Isaias, and the city estimates six of every ten structures took damage. Tall pines failed mid-trunk. River-bottom oaks lifted out of the ground. A tree on a roof, a fence or a driveway is the one we take first.
Our crews have worked Milton and the rest of Santa Rosa County every day since the storm. Florida’s Tree Masters is licensed and insured, with certified arborists on staff and 269 Google reviews.
The trees we take down most in Milton
Milton mixes big-canopy live oaks and water oaks in the older river neighborhoods with tall pines everywhere else.
- Water oak and laurel oak: fast-growing, short-lived and hollow early. They are the most common storm failure in the older neighborhoods. A leaning water oak over the roof is a remove-now call.
- Live oak: it survives most wind, but it drops massive limbs, and when the root plate lifts it takes the house with it.
- Longleaf, slash and loblolly pine: tall and top-heavy. They snap mid-trunk or uproot in saturated sand.
- Pecan: brittle, and it sheds big limbs in wind. Common in older Milton yards.
- Southern magnolia: looks solid and hides rot in the trunk. We check it before we trust it.
How a removal job goes
We look at the tree and the site
The lean, the dead wood, the roots, and what is under it: roofs, fences, pools and wires.
You get the price in writing
We walk the job, then you get the number before anyone starts a saw.
The tree comes down in pieces
Crews work with ropes and rigging where space is tight. Some trees can be reached with the bucket truck.
Cut, sectioned and stacked
Everything is cut and sectioned on site and stacked at the curb for Santa Rosa County’s storm pickup.
The stump, when you want it gone
We grind it below grade with our Vermeer stump grinder and rake the chips into the hole. Stump grinding is quoted separately.
A big oak between two houses
On tight Milton lots where there is no room to drop a tree, we bring a crane and lift it out in sections over the house. It is slower to set up and much safer for the roof.
What tree removal costs in Milton
Size, lean and access decide the price. Text a photo to 850-407-7325 for a first number. We confirm it on site, and you have the price in writing before any work. Payment plans are available.
Do you need a permit to take a tree down in Milton?
On an existing single-family lot in Santa Rosa County the county’s tree-protection rules do not apply (Land Development Code 4.07.05), so a storm-damaged tree comes down without a permit. If your lot is different, we tell you before we quote.
Where we work in Milton
We cover the city of Milton and the surrounding county, from Bagdad and Avalon Beach on the bay to Point Baker and the Whiting Field side. That takes in Downtown Milton, the Historic District, Berryhill, East Milton and Allentown, ZIP codes 32570 and 32583.
Milton tree removal questions
How fast can you take down a tree in Milton?
Trees on a house, a car or across a driveway go first, usually the same day you call. Everything else is scheduled in the order the calls come in, and we tell you the day before we come.
Can you price a removal from photos?
Most jobs, yes. Text a photo of the tree and the house to 850-407-7325 and we call you back with a range, then confirm it in writing on site.
Will you grind the stump too?
Yes, usually on the same visit when it is quoted with the removal. We grind below grade and rake the chips into the hole.
The tree came from my neighbor’s yard. Whose problem is it?
In Florida the tree is generally the responsibility of the property it landed on, no matter whose yard it grew in. Your insurance adjuster has the final word.
Do you give me paperwork for my insurance claim?
Yes. You get before-and-after photos and an itemized, dated invoice for the claim.
