Tree Service Cost Estimator
Dangerous Branch Removal — Powerlines, Roofs, Pools & More
Dangerous branches — also called “widow-makers” by tree crews for the fatal accidents they cause — hanging over roofs, split and threatening to fall, tangled in power lines, or already broken and caught in the canopy can't be reliably estimated by a calculator. Safety, access, rigging complexity, and hazard level vary too much.
Here's what we do instead: respond fast, look at it in person (often same day during storm season), and give you an honest quote before we touch anything. If it's an active emergency, call now.
Estimates are guidance only, based on typical Seminole & Orange County jobs. Your exact price is always confirmed free, in person.

What tree services actually cost in Central Florida
Tree Removal Cost (Seminole & Orange County)
Tree removal in Central Florida typically runs $150 to $3,000 per tree depending on species and size. Palm removals are the most economical — $150–$750 depending on height. Pines run $500–$2,800, and mature oaks $450–$3,000. Trees near structures or power lines add about 10% for the careful rigging they require, and tight access adds about 10% more. Our covers most jobs without extra equipment fees.
Tree Trimming & Pruning Cost
Standard trimming runs $50 to $1,250 per tree. Palm trims are the most affordable at $50–$150 per palm. Pines run $200–$600, and oaks $200–$1,250 depending on canopy size. Light shaping saves about 10% off the standard price; heavy reduction adds about 10%. Trimming multiple trees on one visit earns automatic multi-tree discounts — 10% off two trees, 15% off three or more.
Palm Tree Trimming Cost
Palm trimming runs $50 to $150 per palm based on height — small palms under 20 feet start at $50, and tall palms over 30 feet run up to $150. Palm removal runs $150–$750. We offer the hurricane cut when requested along with species-standard trims.
Stump Grinding Cost
Stump grinding runs $150 to $500 per stump based on diameter. Small stumps under 15″ run $150–$250, mid-size $250–$300, and large stumps over 30″ run $300–$500. Bundling stump grinding with a removal is the most economical option.
Dangerous Branch Removal — Powerlines, Roofs, Pools & More
Dangerous branches — hanging over roofs, split and threatening to fall, tangled with power lines — are quoted on-site because rigging and safety complexity vary too much for a calculator. Call or text a photo and we'll respond fast for an honest quote.
Storm & Emergency Tree Response
Emergency tree removal after storm damage is priced case-by-case based on hazard level, access, and whether the tree is on a structure. Insurance often covers tree-on-structure damage; we photograph and document the work for your claim.
