Tree removal for construction and new landscape space

Construction removal is a tree in the way of a pad, a drive, a drain, or a new bed. The keepers stay. The stumps are a separate yes if equipment has to cross them.

Key takeaways

  • We take the trees that conflict with the work and can grind stumps when the surface must be open.
  • Call 811 before anyone digs. We will not guess at buried lines.
  • Permit needs differ for Ocala and for unincorporated Marion County. Ask before the cut.
  • Sod, irrigation, and drainage after the trees are construction.

Removal is not the finished pad

This visit takes down the trees in the pad, the drive, the drain, or the new bed. It is tree removal for a marked footprint. It is not grading, and it does not leave sod, irrigation, or a wall.

Say which trunks stay. Stumps are ground only if equipment has to cross that spot. If a footing needs the root ball gone, digging is closer to landscape construction than to a lawn grind. Read grinding versus digging a stump out before you assume the hole is empty.

  • Flag keepers before the crew cuts.
  • Call 811 before anyone digs.
  • Ask the city or the county before anyone cuts. A city lot and a county lot are not the same rule.

Who this job is for

A fit

  • A new home, an addition, a drive, or a landscape redo with trunks in the footprint.

A different service

  • You are keeping the tree and fixing old cuts. Restoration pruning.
  • The lot is already open and you need turf. Sod is construction, not removal.

What happens, in order

  1. 01

    Look

    Trees against the footprint.

  2. 02

    Decide

    Which trunks go, and whether stumps are ground.

  3. 03

    Do

    Tree removal for those trunks, then handle the wood.

  4. 04

    Leave

    The footprint is open. Grading and drains are the next trade.

See selective vs. full clearing and before you build.

A sketch on a photo is enough. Say if you are inside Ocala city limits.
