Our Tree Services in DeLand
Professional tree care for homes and businesses in DeLand and Volusia County
Tree Removal in DeLand
Safe removal of dead, diseased, storm-damaged, and hazardous trees of all sizes. We handle everything from small ornamental trees to large live oaks and pines over 80 feet tall. For trees near homes, fences, and power lines, we use sectional dismantling — removing the tree in controlled pieces from the top down. DeLand's tree preservation ordinance (Article VI, Chapter 33) may require permits for certain removals — we check requirements and handle paperwork as part of our service.
Tree Trimming & Pruning in DeLand
Regular trimming keeps your trees healthy and reduces storm damage risk — critical in DeLand where hurricane season runs June through November. We follow ANSI A300 pruning standards: crown raising to clear roofs and driveways, deadwood removal, canopy thinning for wind resistance, and structural pruning for young trees. Most mature live oaks and hardwoods in DeLand benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years. We never top trees — proper cuts only.
Stump Grinding in DeLand
Left-behind stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, and fungal decay — all things you don't want near your Florida home. We grind stumps 6-8 inches below grade using commercial equipment, then backfill with mulch. The area is ready for grass, sod, or new landscaping immediately. Stump grinding in the DeLand area averages $150-$500 per stump depending on diameter, with discounts for multiple stumps or combined removal jobs.
Emergency Tree Services — 24/7
Central Florida's severe weather doesn't wait for business hours. When a tree falls on your DeLand home at 3 AM during a tropical storm, we answer the phone and send a crew. We handle trees on structures, blocking roads, tangled in power lines, and dangerous hangers in the canopy. We work with your insurance company and provide detailed documentation for claims. No extra charge for after-hours emergency calls.
Land Clearing & Lot Preparation
Clearing trees, brush, and stumps for new construction, additions, or landscaping renovations throughout DeLand and Volusia County. We handle selective removal (taking specific trees while preserving others) and full lot clearing. Includes stump grinding, debris hauling, and site preparation. We verify all Volusia County tree preservation requirements before work begins.
Tree Health Assessment
Not sure if a tree on your property is healthy or hazardous? Our arborists evaluate structural integrity, root systems, canopy health, and signs of disease or pest damage. Common DeLand tree issues include oak decline, pine bark beetles, laurel wilt disease (affecting red bay and avocado trees), and root rot from Florida's wet summers. If a tree can be treated, we'll recommend preservation. If it needs removal, we'll explain why.
