A dead oak over the barn, a leaning pine by the driveway, a thicket of Brazilian pepper, or stumps left from a cut years ago. We drop it, drag it clear and pull the stump whole with a Bobcat T740 and 60" grapple, from our own yard in Loxahatchee. $1,385/day with an operator; most single-tree jobs take hours, not a day.
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.
"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.
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 We do not publish per-tree or per-stump prices because two stumps are never the same job.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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
