We remove trees and pull stumps in Boca Raton with a Bobcat T740 and a 60" grapple, $1,385/day with an operator. Estimates are free, and a written one-year workmanship warranty comes with every job.
A tree comes down in pieces and a stump stays in the ground, so the two are often separate problems. Our crew works with the Bobcat T740 and its 60" grapple: the grapple takes hold of felled trunks and brush, loads them out, and works a stump loose from the soil so it comes out instead of being ground down. Boca Raton lots add their own wrinkles, from fences and pavers to pools, so we look at access before we quote.
This machine is for lots where it can reach, such as a side yard, a back lot, an overgrown corner or a lot being prepared for a build. For a tree leaning over a roof or a pool, call us and describe it, and we will tell you plainly whether our equipment is the right tool. Call (561) 779-3213. After the trees are gone, Bobcat grading in Boca Raton can reshape the ground.
Older lots east of I-95 often carry mature ficus, sea grape and oaks that have grown close to fences, walls and slabs. Roots and trunks that size are what the grapple is for, but a root ball under a paver drive or beside a pool needs a careful plan. West of I-95 the lots sit in gated and golf communities, where narrow gates and landscape buffers set the working route. Along the Intracoastal and the lakes, seawalls limit where a tracked machine can stage.
Residents describe their communities as Boca Square, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca Woods, Boca Pointe and Woodfield. Associations in places like these commonly want an architectural review committee to sign off on removing a mature or buffer tree. Ask yours first, in writing if you can.
City permit. The City of Boca Raton regulates tree removal through its Development Services Department, and which trees need a permit depends on the city's tree rules, so call before you cut. Some addresses with a Boca Raton mailing address are unincorporated Palm Beach County and follow county rules instead. Florida law (section 163.045) also limits what a local government can require when a certified arborist or licensed landscape architect documents that a tree on residential property is an imminent danger. Ask the city how it applies to you.
Protected species. Three things stop a job until they are dealt with. A gopher tortoise burrow is protected by the state and must be handled through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission before the ground is disturbed. Mangroves along the Intracoastal and lake edges are protected by state law and need approval before trimming or removal. A bird nest in use can also delay a removal. We stop and ask rather than guess.
Drainage. Pulling a big stump leaves a hole, and in flat Boca Raton a low spot matters. Part of the city drains through the Lake Worth Drainage District canals, and the city runs its own stormwater system, so we do not leave a pit that sends water toward a neighbor, a canal or an easement. Our permits and regulations guide gives the order of calls.

Boca Raton owners who clear or grade a lot often need what comes next. See the construction division for the building side, the land clearing cost guide for how a job is scoped, and the permits and regulations guide before any permit call.
We price by the machine day rather than by the tree. The Bobcat T740 with a 60-inch grapple and an operator is $1,385 per day. The number of days depends on how many trees and stumps there are, their size, the access and where the debris goes. Estimates are free.

It depends on where the tree is. Florida law (section 163.045) limits what a local government can require when a certified arborist or licensed landscape architect documents that a tree on residential property is an imminent danger. Otherwise the city or county rules apply, so confirm with the city first.
Yes. The grapple on the Bobcat T740 works a stump loose so it comes out of the ground. Stump removal and tree removal can be one estimate or two jobs, as you prefer.
A gopher tortoise burrow is state protected and must be handled through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission before the ground is disturbed. Mangroves along the Intracoastal and lake edges are also protected by state law. We stop and ask rather than guess.
Some do and some only cut the tree. We pull stumps with the Bobcat grapple, and the estimate says up front whether the stump is included.
We do not offer free removal. We do offer free estimates. For assistance programs, ask the City of Boca Raton or Palm Beach County directly.
Often, yes. Many Boca Raton communities, such as Boca Square, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca Woods, Boca Pointe and Woodfield, run an architectural review committee, and removing a mature or buffer tree is commonly reviewed. That approval is separate from any city permit.
