Tree & Stump Removal
Loxahatchee, FL

Tree and Stump Removal in Loxahatchee — The Direct Answer

Tree and stump removal in Loxahatchee is $1,385 per day with an operator for the Bobcat T740 and its 60" grapple, with no per-tree or per-stump price. A single tree or stump is usually a matter of hours. What moves the number is the size of the tree, how many stumps there are, how the machine crosses the swale to reach them, and whether the wood is hauled off or stacked on your lot. We walk the property first, free, and tell you what it will take before any figure is written down.

The machine is based close by: the same T740 lives at our own farm at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee, FL 33470, so a job in 33470 does not wait on a trailer from across the county. Tell us the address and what is standing on it, and you get a straight answer within 24 hours. (561) 779-3213.

Bobcat T740 with a 60-inch grapple, the machine that drags felled trees clear and pulls stumps on Loxahatchee acreage
The T740 and grapple that pull stumps for customers are the same machine we keep at our own Loxahatchee farm.
What We Take Out on Loxahatchee Lots
Loxahatchee parcels are mostly acreage, equestrian and agricultural lots rather than tight subdivisions, so the trees are usually big, old or crowded together. Four calls come up most.
1 · Invasive trees: Brazilian pepper and melaleuca
Both are prohibited invasive exotics that take over neglected acreage and wet ground. They are the trees most often pulled out here: the grapple drags them into a pile for haul-off, and removal is something the county encourages rather than restricts.
2 · Storm-damaged and leaning trees
A split limb over the house, a pine down across the fence line or a leaning oak near the barn. The grapple closes on the trunk and drags it clear, and we can haul it or stack it.
3 · Stumps left behind
Old stumps in a pasture, along a fence or on a future building pad. The grapple grips the stump and works the root ball loose, walking it out whole. We pull stumps; we do not grind them in place.
4 · Trees in the way of a pad, drive or fence
A tree that sits where a barn, driveway or fence is going. We take it out and can grade the hole level in the same visit. See our Bobcat grading in Loxahatchee page.
Permits: Check Before You Cut Protected Trees

"Loxahatchee" is a mailing address, not one jurisdiction. Most of it is unincorporated Palm Beach County, where native vegetation is handled by the county's Environmental Resources Management and trees, palms and pines fall under the county's Tree Removal & Replacement Permit. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves and the City of Westlake are separate municipalities with their own rules. Check with the county, or the town or city that applies to your address, before you cut protected trees; removing one without approval can bring fines and a replanting requirement.

Prohibited invasive exotics are the usual exception. Brazilian pepper and melaleuca are not trees anyone is trying to protect, though a wetland or canal bank is worth a call first. This is general guidance, not permitting advice. Our permits and regulations guide lists the offices, and we confirm the right one for your parcel before booking.

Two more checks are specific to this area. Much of Loxahatchee and The Acreage sits inside the Indian Trail Improvement District (ITID), which maintains the swales and culverts and permits work that disturbs them, separately from the county. And Florida law requires a call to 811 for a free locate before anything is dug or a stump is pulled.

How a Removal Goes: The T740 and Grapple Workflow
Walk and plan
We walk the lot, flag what stays, check the swale and culvert route and the 811 and permit questions, and say whether it is hours or days.
Drop and drag
Trees come down, then the 60" grapple closes on the trunk and drags it clear of the work area. Tracks spread the machine's weight on soft, low ground.
Pull the stumps
The grapple grips each stump and works the root ball loose, walking it out whole rather than grinding it.
Haul or stack, then level
Wood and root balls are hauled off or stacked where you want them. Stump holes can be graded back level with the same machine.
What Tree and Stump Removal Costs in Loxahatchee

One published price: $1,385 per day, with an operator, for the Bobcat T740 and 60" grapple, with no Loxahatchee surcharge. We do not publish per-tree or per-stump prices because two stumps are never the same job. Size, root spread, access across the swale, a count of stumps and the haul-off decision set the days. Our tree and stump removal guide covers the cost drivers and the hurricane-season hazard-tree checklist, and the land clearing cost guide covers whole-acre jobs.

Tree & Stump Removal in Loxahatchee — FAQ

How much does tree and stump removal cost in Loxahatchee?

There is no per-tree or per-stump price. The Bobcat T740 with a 60-inch grapple is $1,385 per day with an operator, and most single-tree or single-stump jobs take hours rather than a full day. Size and species, how many stumps, access across the swale and whether the wood is hauled or stacked all move the total. A free site walk settles it before anything is written down.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Loxahatchee?

Often, for native and specimen trees, and it depends on which side of a line your parcel sits. Most of the area mailed as Loxahatchee is unincorporated Palm Beach County, where trees, palms and pines fall under the county's Tree Removal & Replacement Permit and native vegetation under Environmental Resources Management. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves and the City of Westlake have their own rules. Check with the county before you cut protected trees; we help confirm the right desk before booking.

Do I need a permit to remove Brazilian pepper or melaleuca?

Generally not, because prohibited invasive exotics such as Brazilian pepper and melaleuca are removals the county encourages rather than restricts. Confirm with the county first if the trees stand in a wetland, along a canal or among native trees you want to keep. The guidance here is general, not permitting advice.

Can you pull a stump without taking down the tree?

Yes, if the tree is already down or was cut earlier. The T740's grapple grips the stump and works the root ball loose, walking it out of the ground. It pulls stumps whole; it does not grind them to mulch in place. Where the tree is still standing and large, we scope that on the free walk.

What happens to the wood, roots and stumps afterwards?

That is part of the quote. We can haul trunks, limbs and root balls off the property, or stack and leave them where you want them. Pulled stumps leave holes, and we can grade and fill the ground back level with the same machine.

Do you remove storm-damaged or leaning trees on acreage?

Yes. Bell Land Services also does storm cleanup, so a split, leaning or fallen tree can usually be dropped, dragged clear and stacked or hauled in one visit. The rate is the same $1,385/day with operator whether the tree is down before or after a storm.

Does the Indian Trail Improvement District get involved?

Only if the work touches a swale, a culvert or the road right-of-way. Much of Loxahatchee and The Acreage sits inside the Indian Trail Improvement District, which maintains those drainage works and permits work that disturbs them, separately from the county. A tree deep inside your own lot usually does not involve it; a stump beside the culvert might.

Will the machine damage my lawn, swale or driveway?

The T740 runs on tracks, which spread its weight on the soft, low ground common in western Palm Beach County. Entering across a swale or culvert is where care is needed, so we plan the route on the walk. Dig safety applies too: Florida law requires a call to 811 for a free locate before excavation.

How is this different from land clearing?

Land clearing is scoped to a whole parcel, everything in the footprint coming out for a pad or pasture. Tree and stump removal works around what you want to keep. Same machine and same rate. If you are clearing a whole acre, see our Loxahatchee land clearing page instead.

Do you take small jobs, like one tree?

Yes. A single tree or stump on a Loxahatchee lot is a normal call. We tell you honestly whether it is a few hours or a full day before you commit.

Are you based in Loxahatchee?

Yes. The Bobcat T740 is based at our own farm and yard at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee, FL 33470, so it does not travel far to reach a job in 33470.

Are you licensed?

Bell Land Services operates under Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation, Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1528750, and a BBB A+ Accredited Business. We hold a Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt, which is not a contractor licence.
