Tree Service FAQ | Florida Foliage

Tree removal costs vary based on tree size, species, location, and access conditions. A small tree under 20 feet may cost $300 to $600. A large tree over 60 feet can run $1,500 to $3,000 or more, especially if crane work is required. The only way to get an accurate price is an on-site assessment. We offer free estimates throughout Volusia and Flagler County. Call (386) 481-7913 to schedule yours.

Our tree service Daytona Beach team handles jobs of any size — from a single dead tree to full-property clearing.

Yes. Free on-site estimates are standard for every job. We assess the tree, discuss your options, and give you a written quote before any work begins. There is no obligation to proceed.

The main factors are tree height and diameter, proximity to structures, yard access (can our equipment reach it?), whether crane work is required, and how much debris needs to be hauled away. Stump grinding is typically priced separately from tree removal.

We accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Payment is due upon completion unless prior arrangements have been made, which is common for commercial accounts and recurring maintenance contracts.

We can give you a general range based on what you describe, but we can not give you an accurate final price without seeing the tree in person. A quick on-site visit is the only way to assess the job properly. We offer same-day estimates throughout our service area.

Permit requirements vary by city. Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, DeLand, and several other municipalities in Volusia County have ordinances that require permits for removal of protected or specimen trees. Our ISA Certified Arborists are familiar with local ordinances and can advise you on whether a permit is required before any work starts.

An ISA Certified Arborist assesses the tree and determines the safest removal method. On job day, the crew sections the tree from the top down, controlling each piece with ropes or crane lift depending on the situation. Brush is chipped on-site. All debris is loaded and hauled away. Stump grinding follows after the main tree is cleared.

Most residential tree removals take a half day to a full day depending on tree size and access. Large trees, crane jobs, or multiple-tree removals may take longer. We give you a time estimate when we provide your written quote.

We haul all debris off-site, including brush, limbs, and trunk sections. We leave the property clean. If you'd like to keep firewood sections, let us know before we start and we'll stack them for you rather than hauling them away.

We can work on trees near power lines on your property side. Trees that are in direct contact with active utility lines may require coordination with your utility company before we can safely proceed. We'll tell you upfront if that applies to your situation so there are no surprises on job day.

For most trees in Florida, late winter, January through March, is the best time. It falls before the spring growth flush and puts less stress on the tree. That said, dead branches and storm damage should be addressed any time of year. Avoid heavy trimming on live oaks during the spring leaf-flush period if possible.

Most residential trees benefit from a professional evaluation every 2 to 3 years, with trimming done when the crown shows overgrowth, dead material, or branches approaching structures. Fast-growing species like water oaks may need attention more frequently. An ISA Certified Arborist can give you a maintenance schedule specific to your trees.

Yes. You should never remove green fronds from a sabal palm, only dead or fully brown ones. Over-trimming palms, sometimes called hurricane cutting, actually weakens the tree and makes it more vulnerable to wind damage. Our crew follows proper palm care standards, including leaving 2 o'clock to 10 o'clock frond positions intact on most species.

Live oaks should be pruned by ISA Certified Arborists following ANSI A300 standards. The goal is structural pruning: removing dead wood, crossing branches, and reducing weight on extended limbs without topping or flush-cutting. Improper pruning on a live oak creates large wounds that never fully seal, leaving the tree vulnerable to internal decay.

ISA stands for the International Society of Arboriculture. An ISA Certified Arborist has passed a comprehensive exam covering tree biology, soil science, pruning, risk assessment, and disease diagnosis. Certification also requires ongoing continuing education to maintain the credential. It's the gold standard in the tree care industry and what separates professional arborists from general tree workers.

Yes. We provide certificates of insurance on request before any work begins. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Never hire a tree service that can not or will not provide proof of both. If a worker is injured on your property and the company lacks workers' compensation, the liability can fall on you.

Yes. Florida Foliage is a licensed tree service operating in compliance with Florida state requirements for tree care contractors. Licensing requirements in Florida include registration and insurance verification. We're happy to provide our license information on request.

An ISA Certified Arborist report covers tree species identification, current health status, structural integrity assessment, risk rating, and professional recommendations for care or removal. These reports are used for permit applications, insurance claims, property sales, and legal proceedings. They carry the credentials and signature of a certified professional and are accepted by municipalities, courts, and insurance companies.

Certification demonstrates that the arborist has formally studied tree biology, proper pruning technique, and risk assessment. This matters for the long-term health of your trees and for your property's safety. Improper removal can damage adjacent trees, foundations, and structures. In municipalities with tree ordinances, improper work on protected trees can result in significant fines. Certified expertise is the baseline standard for any significant tree work.
