Trees down or old stumps on a Lake Worth lot: our Bobcat T740 with a 60in grapple and operator, $1,385/day. Free estimates, no price per tree.
Lake Worth calls are rarely a forest. They are a fig or ficus that has lifted a slab, a storm-split oak over a fence, a stand of Brazilian pepper behind a rental, or a line of old stumps where a hedge once stood. One machine handles all of them: the T740 lifts the trunk with the grapple, pulls the stump and roots from the ground, and carries the debris to the truck.
If the whole lot has gone wild, that is a bigger job at the same rate, and our Lake Worth Beach land clearing page covers it. For how this kind of work is scoped in general, read the tree and stump removal guide.
Two cities share the name, and the difference decides who answers your tree question. The City of Lake Worth Beach is incorporated, with its own Building Division at 1900 2nd Avenue North. The area west of it that people also call Lake Worth is unincorporated and goes through the Palm Beach County Building Division. Check the right desk for your address before the machine is booked.
Inside the city, the historic districts, College Park, Old Lucerne, Northeast Lucerne, Southeast Lucerne, South Palm Park and the Old Town Commercial District, add a review layer to exterior work, and a large specimen tree is the kind of thing a neighbor and a board both notice.
Whether a tree can come down depends on the species, the size, the address and the reason. Some trees are protected by city code or historic-district review, and some species are listed by the state or federal government. Florida law, s. 163.045, bars a city from requiring a permit or mitigation for a tree on residential property when a certified arborist or Florida-licensed landscape architect documents it as a danger to people or property.
On vacant lots there is one more check: the gopher tortoise is state-protected, and an active burrow stops work until the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been consulted. We raise it at the estimate so the job does not stop halfway.
Most Lake Worth ground is built-out city lots: bungalow parcels in the older streets, concrete block homes from the mid-century, and larger lots toward the west. Canals in much of the area run under the Lake Worth Drainage District, while swales and culverts can belong to the city or county. We do not push debris or soil into a canal, and a stump beside a canal bank or culvert gets the district or the city involved first.
Access matters as much as the tree. A compact track loader often fits where a larger machine will not, but overhead lines, fences and gates are looked at on the estimate rather than guessed.
The machine is a Bobcat T740 with a 60in grapple, run by an operator, at $1,385/day. We do not quote per tree, because a single large stump can take longer than five small trees. The free estimate counts the days. Our land clearing cost guide explains the per-acre side for larger jobs.
We have no confirmed named tree-removal project in Lake Worth to point to, and we would rather say so than invent one. What we can put in front of you is the credential stack: Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1528750, a state certification that lets the owner contract in any Florida county, a Palm Beach County business tax receipt, a BBB A+ accreditation, and a written one-year workmanship warranty on every job. We do not claim a City of Lake Worth Beach business tax receipt.
Name and phone are all we need to start.
Yes. A Bobcat T740 with a 60in grapple and an operator takes down and hauls off trees, and lifts and pulls stumps and roots from the ground, on city lots and larger parcels in Lake Worth. The rate is $1,385/day with operator, and the free estimate settles how many days your trees and stumps will take.
We do not quote per tree. The machine and operator are $1,385/day, and the number of days depends on how many trees, how big the stumps are and how tight the access is. Estimates are free, so send the address and what is standing and we will tell you how many days it looks like.
It depends on the tree and where it stands. The City of Lake Worth Beach has its own code and its own Building Division at 1900 2nd Avenue North, and properties in the local historic districts carry extra review. Florida law, s. 163.045, bars a city from requiring a permit or mitigation for a tree on residential property when a certified arborist or Florida-licensed landscape architect documents it as a danger to people or property. Check the city about your address before the machine is booked.
Yes. Lake Worth Beach is the incorporated city and permits through its own building division. The area west of it that people also call Lake Worth is unincorporated and goes through the Palm Beach County Building Division. Which desk answers your tree question depends on which side of the line your lot is on.
Some are. A tree can be protected by city code, by a historic-district review, or because the species is state or federally listed. The city or the county, depending on the address, makes that call for your specific tree. Gopher tortoises are a separate case: they are state-protected, and an active burrow on a vacant lot stops work until the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been consulted.
In much of the Lake Worth area, canals belong to the Lake Worth Drainage District, and swales and culverts may belong to the city or county instead. A stump next to a canal bank or culvert is a drainage question first. We do not push debris or soil into a canal, and the district or the city answers before work starts near one.
We do not offer free tree removal to anyone. What is free is the estimate. Call (561) 779-3213 with the address and what needs to come down.
A compact track loader works in tighter ground than a larger excavator, so a side yard or back lot is often reachable. Overhead lines, fences and a locked gate all matter, and the estimate is where access gets looked at. Tell us how the machine would get to the tree.
Yes. All of Lake Worth sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, so a hurricane season can leave downed limbs and uprooted trees across a lot. The same machine and rate cover storm-damaged trees, and our storm debris cleanup guide explains how that work is scoped.
