Pinellas & Pasco County, Florida · 20+ Years
Wes has been dropping trees and fixing homes across Pinellas and Pasco for more than twenty years. You get a straight number before anyone starts a saw — and the yard gets left cleaner than we found it.
Storms in Tampa Bay don't keep business hours. If a tree is on your roof, across your driveway, or leaning on a power line, call now — we'll tell you straight whether it's an emergency or whether it can wait until Monday.
What We Do
Most folks around here have to call one company for the tree and a different one for the fence it landed on. Wes does both — which is why the whole job gets finished the same week instead of the same month.
Big oaks, dead pines, leaners over the roof, trees too close to the house. Rigged down piece by piece when there's no room to drop it. Debris hauled off, not left in a pile.
Typically $450 – $2,750Thinning the canopy so wind blows through instead of taking the tree over. Deadwood out, limbs off the roofline, clearance from the house and the power drop.
Typically $225 – $1,000Ground 6–10 inches below grade so you can sod it, plant it, or put a shed on it. Grindings raked out or hauled away — your call.
Typically $175 – $550Fronds, seed pods and boots cleaned off before hurricane season turns them into projectiles. Queens, sabals, coconuts, washingtonias. Bundle three or more and the per-palm price drops.
Typically $75 – $500 per palmTrees off roofs, driveways cleared, hazards made safe. We photograph and document the damage for your insurance carrier before we cut, because the adjuster is going to ask.
Call — priced on siteBrush, scrub, overgrown fence lines and small-lot clearing for builders and homeowners. Hauled off and left level.
Call — priced by the lotDon't see it? Call and ask. If it's something Wes doesn't do, he'll tell you who does — Florida requires a licensed contractor for electrical panels, plumbing beyond fixtures, HVAC, roofing and structural work, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Why Wes
There is no state license for tree work in Florida. Anybody with a saw and a pickup can print a magnet and call themselves a tree service — which is exactly why so many people around here have a story about a company that showed up, made a mess, and disappeared. Here's how we're different.
Get A Free EstimateYou get a written number before we start. Not "we'll see what we run into." If we hit something genuinely unexpected, we stop and talk to you first.
Almost 40% of calls to home service companies never reach a human. Ours do. If we're up a tree, we call you back the same day.
Raked, blown, wheel ruts leveled. The most common complaint about tree companies in this county is what they left behind, so it's the thing we're strictest about.
The tree that took out your fence and your soffit doesn't need three contractors. We take the tree and we fix what it broke.
Nearly three in ten people in Pinellas County are over 65. We think that ought to be worth something, so we knock money off. Just mention it.
Where We Work
Both counties, all week. If you're near the line and not sure, just call — the answer is usually yes.

Small trees under 30 feet generally run $450 to $875. Large trees between 30 and 60 feet run $875 to $2,750. Where you land in that range depends on how close the tree is to the house or power lines, whether equipment can reach it, and how much wood has to leave the property. Estimates are free and the written price doesn't move.
Often, but less than you used to. Pinellas County's rules changed on January 23, 2026. On a homesteaded, owner-occupied single-family lot, only trees over 24 inches in diameter are protected. Dead, dying, invasive or nuisance trees carry no mitigation requirement. Pasco requires a permit at 5 inches and up, with fees around $30 to $50. City ordinances can override the county, so it depends on your address — we'll check before you pay anything.
Maybe not. Florida Statute 163.045 says a local government can't require a permit, fee or mitigation to remove a tree from residential property when you hold documentation from an ISA-certified arborist or licensed landscape architect showing the tree poses an unacceptable risk. That's the fastest legal route for a genuine hazard tree, and no replanting can be forced on you.
We haul it off. Brush, logs and debris go with us, the yard gets raked and blown, and ruts get leveled. If you want to keep the wood for a fire pit, say so and we'll cut it to length and stack it instead.
Call 727-454-9065. If a tree is on your roof, across your driveway, or leaning on a service line, that's an emergency and we treat it like one. Emergency and after-hours work runs 25–50% above standard rates, which is standard in the trade, and we'll tell you that before you commit. If it's genuinely not urgent, we'll say that too and save you the surcharge.
Sometimes. Florida policies commonly cover removal when a tree hits an insured structure, and commonly don't when it just falls in the yard. We photograph and document the damage before we cut, because the adjuster will want it. We're not your insurance company — check your policy — but we'll give you what you need to file.
That's the whole reason both names are on the truck. Fence sections, soffit and fascia, gutters, screen enclosures, decks and drywall from a water intrusion. One crew, one point of contact, one schedule.
Late spring, before June. Thinning the canopy lets wind pass through instead of pushing the whole tree over, and getting dead limbs and loose palm fronds down early keeps them from becoming projectiles. It is far cheaper than removal after the fact, and it's what we'd tell our own family to do.
No. Estimates are free and written, there's no service-call fee, and there's no minimum charge on handyman work — you're not paying for two hours when the job takes forty minutes.
Carefully and legally, or not at all. No mangrove can be cut below 6 feet. Anything over 10 feet requires a state-registered Professional Mangrove Trimmer who has to notify Pinellas County Water & Navigation first, and over 16 feet only a quarter of the foliage can come off per year. Fines are steep. Call before anyone touches them.
