One crew for the whole job, canopy to stump

Live oaks, laurel oaks, slash pines, sabal and queen palms: the trees in Stuart yards are the ones we work on every week.

  • 01

    Tree Removal

    Dead, leaning or simply in the wrong place. We take trees down in sections with ropes and rigging, so nothing lands on the roof, fence or pool cage.

  • 02

    Tree Trimming & Pruning

    Crown thinning, deadwood removal and lifting low limbs off the roof and driveway. Proper cuts that keep the tree healthy, never topping.

  • 03

    Stump Grinding

    We grind the stump and surface roots below grade, then backfill with the chips or haul them off, so you can sod or replant right over it.

    Palm Tree Trimming

    Brown fronds, seed pods and boots cleaned off sabals, queens, royals and coconuts. We leave the green fronds the palm needs to stay strong.

What's going on with your tree?

Likely: tree removal

A lean that is getting worse is a removal call

Trees that have always grown at an angle are usually fine. One that has shifted recently, with cracked or lifted soil on the far side, is losing its roots and should be looked at soon.

  • We check the root plate, trunk and lean direction
  • Rigged down in sections, away from the house
  • Stump ground out if you want the spot back
How it works

From first call to a raked-clean yard

    Call or send the form

    Tell us the address and what you're seeing. We'll set a time to come out, usually within a day or two.

  2. 2

    Walk the yard together

    We look at the tree, the access and what's underneath it, then hand you a written price. No charge for the visit.

  3. 3

    We do the work

    The crew shows up on the day we agreed, protects the lawn and beds, and brings the tree down in controlled pieces.

  4. 4

    Chip, haul and rake

    Everything gets chipped and hauled away. We rake and blow off the drive, then walk it with you before we leave.

Hurricane season · June 1 to November 30

Trim it before the wind does

A thinned canopy lets wind pass through instead of pushing against it. Getting dead limbs and overweight branches off before a storm is far cheaper than getting them off your roof after one. How we trim for storm season.

Pre-storm tree check

  • Dead or hanging limbs over the house, cars or pool cage
  • Branches rubbing the roof or within reach of power lines
  • A trunk that leans more than it used to, or soil lifting at the base
  • Coconuts and heavy seed pods that turn into projectiles

What tree work costs in Stuart

Most single-tree jobs in Martin County land between a few hundred dollars and a couple of thousand. The big swings come from height, access and whether the tree has to be lowered piece by piece over something you'd rather it missed.

About us

A local crew that treats your yard like our own

Stuart Tree Services is a locally run tree company working in Stuart and across Martin County. We're the people who answer the phone, walk your yard and run the saws, so what we tell you at the estimate is what happens on the day.

Every price is written down before a saw comes off the truck, and the cleanup is part of it, not an extra. If a tree can be saved with a good trim, we'll say so.

The same owner has run this crew in Martin County since 1990. Our pruning cuts follow the ANSI A300 standard, our climbers and ground crew work under the Z133 safety rules, and besides trimming palms we treat them against lethal yellowing.

FAQ

Tree service questions, answered straight

How much does tree removal cost in Stuart?

It depends on the tree's height, the trunk diameter, what's underneath it and how close a truck can get. A small palm in an open front yard and a large oak over a pool cage are very different jobs. As a rough guide, small trees run $250–$700 and large ones over a roof $1,800–$4,500. We look at it in person and give you a firm written price for free. See all our price ranges.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

Sometimes. Rules differ between the City of Stuart, unincorporated Martin County and individual HOAs, and they can depend on the species and size of the tree. We'll tell you at the estimate whether your removal needs one and what the next step is.

What should I ask a tree company before I hire one?

Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance and one for workers' compensation, sent straight from the insurance agent, before anyone climbs. Tree work is risky, and without workers' comp an injury on your property can land on your homeowner's policy. A written price that names the cleanup is the other thing to insist on.

Is stump grinding included with removal?

It's quoted as its own line so you can choose. Most people add it. Having the grinder on site the same day costs less than bringing it back later. About stump grinding.

Do you clean up when you're done?

Every job. Brush is chipped, logs are loaded and the lawn, beds and driveway are raked and blown off. If you'd like to keep the firewood or the mulch, just tell us.

A tree just came down. How fast can you get here?

Call (772) 247-8193 any hour. Trees on a structure, blocking a driveway or tangled near lines go to the front of the schedule. If a line is involved, stay clear and call FPL first.
