A City Lot: One Tree, a Few Stumps, or a Storm Mess

A West Palm Beach tree call is usually a bounded city lot: an oak that came down in a squall, a ficus whose roots are lifting a slab, a row of stumps left when a hedge was cut, a tree leaning toward the house. The machine is a Bobcat T740 with a 60in grapple, run by an operator, at $1,385/day with operator. We do not quote per tree. Tell us what is standing and where, and the free estimate settles how many days it takes.

A whole lot to clear ahead of a build or a teardown? That is land clearing in West Palm Beach. Not sure what a tree job involves? Our tree and stump removal guide walks through it.

What Is Different About West Palm Beach
Five local questions come up before a tree comes down here. Raising them early keeps a job from stopping halfway.
1 · The City's rules, not the county's
West Palm Beach is an incorporated city and the county seat, with its own Development Services Department. Tree removal here is a City question, separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that covers unincorporated Loxahatchee and The Acreage. Florida law also limits what a city can require for a residential tree that a certified arborist or Florida-licensed landscape architect documents as an unacceptable risk, so get that report if a tree looks dangerous, then confirm with the City.
2 · Historic districts and old lots
El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and Southland Park are City historic districts: small lots, mature canopy, houses close to the trunk. Grandview Heights and SoSo lots are tight in a different way. Where a lot also sits inside a private association, its rules come on top of the City's.
3 · Whose drainage is it?
A canal, swale or culvert near a stump can belong to the City, to the South Florida Water Management District or to a drainage district. It is drainage infrastructure, not spare yard, so we confirm the owner before a stump beside one is pulled.
4 · Mangroves and gopher tortoises
Mangroves along the Intracoastal are protected under Florida law, and trimming or removing them is regulated. An active gopher tortoise burrow on a vacant or overgrown lot stops the work until the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been consulted.
5 · Storm season
Trees and limbs come down across drives and backyards from June to November. The 170 mph coastal wind band that covers the city's Atlantic side is one reason a tree near a roof is worth looking at before the season, not after.
What It Costs

The Bobcat T740 with 60in grapple is $1,385/day with operator. That is the price of the machine; we do not publish per-tree or per-stump figures, because what is standing, how close it is to a structure, and how tight a city lot's access is differ on every job. Estimates are free, and every job carries a written one-year workmanship warranty.

Tree and Stump Removal in West Palm Beach — FAQ

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in West Palm Beach?

Possibly. West Palm Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Department, so tree rules come from the City, not from the Palm Beach County rules that cover unincorporated land. Florida law also limits what a city can require for a tree on residential property that a certified arborist or Florida-licensed landscape architect documents as an unacceptable risk. Call the City with your address before the machine is booked; we do not assume the answer.

How much does tree and stump removal cost in West Palm Beach?

We do not price per tree or per stump. The machine is a Bobcat T740 with a 60in grapple at $1,385/day with operator. What is standing, how close it is to a house or fence, and how tight the access is decide how many days it takes, and the free estimate works that out.

Can you work in a historic district like El Cid or Flamingo Park?

We can, but ask before you book. El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and Southland Park are City of West Palm Beach historic districts, and the lots are small and shaded by mature trees. Check with the City whether a review applies to your address, and with your association if the lot also sits inside one.

Who decides drainage questions when a stump sits beside a swale or canal?

It depends on whose ground it is. A canal or swale in West Palm Beach can belong to the City, to the South Florida Water Management District or to a drainage district. A stump beside one is a question for the owner of that drainage first, and we confirm who that is before anything is pulled.

Do you remove mangroves or work near gopher tortoise burrows?

Not without the state's rules being met. Mangroves along the Intracoastal are protected under Florida law and trimming or removal is regulated. An active gopher tortoise burrow on a vacant or overgrown lot is protected too, and the work stops until the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been consulted.

Have you done a tree removal job in West Palm Beach?

We have no named West Palm Beach tree project to show you and will not invent one. What we can show is Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1528750, an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, #NAT-F122701-2, free estimates and a written one-year workmanship warranty on every job.
