Tree Removal

Tree removal cost depends on the tree's size, location, and condition. Small trees typically start a few hundred dollars, while large oaks or palms near structures cost more. Davie Tree Service provides a free, no-obligation written quote before any work begins.
Do you remove trees that are close to my house or power lines?

Tree Trimming & Pruning
Tree Trimming & Pruning Questions
How often should trees be trimmed in Florida?
Most trees in Southwest Florida benefit from trimming every one to three years, depending on species and growth. Fast-growing and storm-prone trees should be checked yearly. We can recommend a schedule during a free assessment.
When is the best time to trim trees in SW Florida?
Many trees are best pruned in late winter or early spring, but dead, broken, or hazardous limbs should be removed any time. Pre-hurricane-season trimming is strongly recommended to reduce storm damage.
Does proper pruning help trees survive hurricanes?
Yes. Thinning the canopy and removing weak limbs lets wind pass through and greatly reduces the chance of failure during a storm. Proper structural pruning is one of the best ways to protect your home.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Stump Grinding & Removal Questions
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding mechanically chips the stump several inches below grade, leaving the roots to decay naturally. Full stump removal extracts the stump and major roots and leaves a larger hole. Grinding is faster, cleaner, and less expensive for most homeowners.
How deep do you grind stumps?
We typically grind stumps four to twelve inches below grade, deeper if you plan to replant or build over the area. Let us know your plans and we will grind accordingly.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
No. Once the stump is ground below grade and the tree is removed, it will not regrow. Grinding also helps prevent pests that are attracted to decaying stumps.
