Tampa Bay Tree Service started when our founder — a third-generation arborist who grew up climbing live oaks in Seminole Heights — saw too many Tampa homeowners getting taken by out-of-town crews after hurricane season. We built this company on one idea: your trees deserve someone who knows Tampa's soil, Tampa's storms, and Tampa's protected species ordinances. Every job we take is in our own backyard.

Questions & Answers
Honest answers from our team
How much does tree removal cost in Tampa?
Costs depend on tree size, species, and location. Small tree removal may start at $300-$500, while large oak removals can run $1,500-$5,000+. We provide free on-site estimates.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Tampa?
Often yes. Tampa requires permits for removing trees with a trunk diameter of 5 inches or more. Protected species like live oaks require certified arborist documentation showing the tree poses an unacceptable risk. We handle all permitting.
When should I trim trees for hurricane season?
The best time is late winter through early spring — well before hurricane season begins in June. Proper pruning removes deadwood and reduces wind resistance without weakening the tree.
Do you handle emergency tree removal?
Yes. We provide emergency response for storm-damaged trees, fallen trees blocking roads or structures, and hazardous limbs. Available 24/7 during storm season.
