We take down big trees without tearing up your yard.
Tree removal, trimming and stump grinding in Gainesville and across North Central Florida. Free estimates. And if a tree lands on your house at two in the morning, we pick up the phone.
Certified arborist on staff
Someone who actually studied trees looks at yours before a saw comes out. You get a real opinion, not a sales pitch.
Fully insured
General liability and workers comp. Ask and we email you the certificate before we start work.
We follow the standards
ANSI Z133 for safety and A300 for pruning, on every single job. Plenty of crews do not.
We answer 24 hours a day
Storms do not wait for business hours. Call or text any time, day or night, any day of the year.
Before and after
A big oak over a roof, gone in one day.
This oak had grown right over the roofline. Limbs were touching the chimney and the gutters filled up every fall.
We took the canopy out in pieces and lowered every one of them on a rope instead of dropping it. Nothing hit the roof, the driveway or the flower beds. The homeowner mowed the lawn that weekend.
That is the part most people forget to ask about when they call for a price. Not just what it costs to take the tree down, but what it costs to fix whatever the tree crew breaks on the way out.
- We cut the tree apart from the top down, because there was nowhere for it to fall
- Plywood and mats went over the driveway and the septic field so nothing cracked or sank
- Every chip, limb and log left the property the same day
Real photos from a real job. Nothing staged, nothing from a stock photo site.
Working over a pool
A tree over your pool is not a do it yourself job.
This water oak was dying, and it stood directly over a screened pool deck. Pavers on one side, the neighbor's fence on the other. There was nowhere safe to drop anything.
So we did not drop anything. We set a rigging point in the tree next door, cut the limbs small, and lowered every piece by rope into one protected spot in the yard. The pool never got covered. Not one paver got chipped. The homeowner got the sun back over the deck.
If a tree on your property has nowhere safe to fall, you need real equipment and a certified arborist. Not a guy with a chainsaw and a ladder.
Our services
What we do
Tree Removal
Dangerous trees, trees hanging over your house, and trees with nowhere safe to fall. We bring in a crane when the space is too tight to work any other way.
Tree RemovalTree Trimming and Pruning
We cut the right limbs in the right places so your tree heals and keeps growing. We will never top a tree, because topping ruins it.
Tree Trimming and PruningStump Grinding
We grind the stump below ground level so you can lay sod, plant something new, or park on it. You tell us whether the chips stay or go.
Stump GrindingEmergency and Storm Damage
Trees on roofs. Blocked driveways. Split trunks. Limbs hanging over the yard where your kids play. Call any hour, any day of the year.

HOAs, apartment complexes, farms, churches and job sites. We can set up a maintenance schedule or clear an entire lot.

Before you hire anyone
Why the cheapest quote usually costs you more.
Most of the damage on a tree job does not happen when the tree comes down. It happens after.
Truck ruts across the lawn. A cracked paver where a log landed. The neighbor's fence taken out by a limb that swung farther than anyone expected. You end up paying for all of it, and it almost always costs more than the few hundred dollars you saved by taking the cheap bid.
Here is what you are actually paying for when you hire us.
- A certified arborist looks first. Sometimes your tree does not need to come down at all, and we will tell you that.
- We lower wood on a rope. If there is a pool, a fence, a roof or a septic field underneath, nothing gets dropped.
- We protect the ground. Mats and plywood go down wherever the equipment has to drive.
- We show you the insurance. Ask for the certificate and it is in your inbox before we start.
- We clean up. It is part of the price. Not an extra, and not next week.
The process
How it works
Call or text us
Tell us what you are looking at. Send a photo if you can. If it is an emergency, call and we will pick up.
We come look at it
A certified arborist walks your property, looks at the tree and how we can reach it, and tells you what it really needs.
You get a price in writing
Everything spelled out, including whether the stump and the debris are included. Nothing starts until you say yes.
We do the work
Ground protection down, tree out, everything hauled away. We walk the property with you before we leave.
Common questions
Questions we get every day
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free and you are not obligated to book anything. A certified arborist comes out, looks at your tree, and gives you a price in writing.
Are you insured?
Yes. General liability and workers compensation. Ask and we will email you the certificate before we start. This matters more than most people think. If an uninsured crew gets hurt in your yard, or drops a limb on your neighbor's roof, that can land on you.
Do you really answer at two in the morning?
Yes. Storm damage is most of what we do from June through November, and a tree on a roof cannot wait until Monday. Call or text 352-770-TREE at any hour.
What does tree removal cost?
It depends on how big the tree is, what is sitting underneath it, how close it is to your house or a power line, whether we can get equipment to it, and whether you want the stump and debris gone. A small tree in an open backyard and a big oak leaning over your bedroom are two completely different jobs. That is why we come look before we give you a number.
Will you tear up my lawn?
No, and we plan around it from the start. Mats and plywood go down wherever equipment has to drive, and we lower wood by rope instead of dropping it when the ground is soft. Then we walk the yard with you before we leave.
Do you grind the stump too?
We can. We price it separately because not everyone wants it, and some people want the stump left at a certain height. Tell us what you plan to do with the spot and we will grind it to match.
How soon can you get here?
Usually within the week for regular work. Emergencies go to the front of the line. After a big storm every tree company in the county is backed up, so calling early really does make a difference.
