Tree Removal in West Palm Beach
Some trees can't be saved, and some were planted in the wrong place forty years ago. Arbor handles tree removal on homes, estates, HOA properties and commercial sites across Palm Beach County, including trees standing over roofs, pool cages, driveways and seawalls.
We would rather tell you a tree can be kept. When it can't, the removal is planned around what's underneath it — the structures, the irrigation, the beds you don't want driven over.
Removals we're called out for
Hazardous and failing trees
Dead crowns, split trunks, root plate lifting out of the soil, or a lean that changed after a storm.
Storm-damaged trees
Trees hung up on a structure or another tree, and post-hurricane cleanup where the tree is beyond repair.
Diseased and declining trees
Trees losing large sections year over year, with decay at the base or in main unions.
Trees too close to structures
Roots into a slab, driveway or plumbing, or a canopy that can never be kept off the roof.
Invasive and unwanted species
Volunteer ficus, Brazilian pepper and similar material taking over a property line.
Site clearing before construction
Clearing for an addition, pool or new landscape plan — sometimes a tree can be moved instead.
How we approach a removal
- Look at the tree, the target zone and equipment access on site.
- Confirm whether removal is really the right call, or whether reduction will do.
- Plan rigging and cut sequence, and protect what stays — beds, sod, pavers, screens.
- Take the tree down in controlled sections where felling isn't an option.
- Clean up and haul off, and discuss what goes back in the space.
Tree removal questions
When should a tree be removed?
Removal makes sense when a tree is dead, structurally failing, badly leaning after a storm, hollow at the base, or growing somewhere it can't stay — into a foundation, a pool deck or a service line. A tree that is simply overgrown can usually be pruned or reduced instead.
Can you take out a tree that's close to the house?
Yes. Tight removals are normal work here. Depending on access we rig and lower sections in pieces rather than felling, and we plan the drop zone before any cutting starts.
What happens to the debris?
Wood, limbs and brush are cleaned up and hauled off as part of the job unless you want material left on site.
