 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed a dead tree removed after massive branches started falling during a nasty storm, along with some pruning on a neighbor’s tree that was hanging into my yard. I had an onsite estimate within 2 days, where they also pointed out that two other trees on my property were declining and likely headed toward similar problems.

We did have to reschedule the original appointment after some equipment broke, but communication was great and they gave themselves enough time to get everything repaired rather than risk showing up unprepared.

My only real concern was having heavy equipment cross the front yard because of my septic tank and drain field. I had construction photos showing where everything was located, and the crew made an excellent effort to route around those areas and avoid putting unnecessary weight over them.

The team arrived early Monday morning and got straight to work. They removed all three trees, ground the stumps, pruned the neighboring tree, hauled everything away, and cleaned up afterward. Between communication, the estimate, and the actual work, I probably spent around 15 minutes of my own time dealing with the entire process, and they had the job itself wrapped up in under 3 hours.

Super easy experience from start to finish. Highly recommended. They’re 5 stars for a reason!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert and Sara's group did a good job. They provided a prompt reasonable estimate.  They were able to get me scheduled in with little delays.  They had some technical challenges the first day but got their needed part and were able to finish up later that week.  The took care of my dead pine tree. My dying crap tree, and my problem tree and even some trees I hadn't considered.  I would definitely use them again.

When the guys arrived on the day of removal they were again professional and considerate of neighbors.  They also offered a payment plan option which was great as we are a retired couple.

Our Local Experts Follow the Best Methods for Your Yards

Barto Stumps and Tree Service knows Forest Oaks trees by name. Laurel and water oaks rot from the inside, so we tap trunks with a mallet first. Slash pines drop heavy limbs in summer storms, and we cut them in short sections.

We also know Hernando County rules on protected trees and handle the permit paperwork for you. Tomahawk Ave and Forest Oaks Blvd have tight driveways and parked cars. Our climbers lower limbs by rope there.

On wide lots near Commercial Way, we bring a bucket truck or crane for tall pines. A chipper and stump grinder finish the job on site. We plan routes around US-19 and Mariner Blvd rush hour to reach you on time.

Tree Concerns in the Forest Oaks Area

A mature oak canopy brings a few issues that Forest Oaks homeowners ask us about most.

Heavy Oak Limbs Over Roofs

Long horizontal limbs over homes can crack under their own weight. We reduce them before they fail.

Oaks Declining With Age

Thinning crowns and dead tops signal an oak in decline. We assess whether it can be saved.

Shade Killing Lawns

Dense canopies leave lawns bare. Selective thinning brings back light without removing the tree.

Acorn and Leaf Cleanup Overload

Heavy acorn and leaf drop clogs gutters and pools. Pruning nearby limbs cuts down the mess.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to prune my trees?

Late winter suits most oaks and pines because growth slows before storm season. Our licensed arborists time each cut and haul away every branch.

Do you handle large tree removal near houses in Forest Oaks?

Yes, we lower big trunks in sections beside split-level homes with ropes and a crane. You get a damage-free job and a clean yard.

Do you handle storm damage in Forest Oaks?

We do, day or night. Our arborists clear leaning trunks and fallen limbs, then photograph the damage for your insurance claim and leave a clean yard.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Forest Oaks?

Forest Oaks is in Spring Hill, in unincorporated Hernando County. If a tree is documented as dangerous by an ISA certified arborist or licensed landscape architect, F.S. 163.045 lets you remove it from residential property with no local permit. A healthy tree may still need Hernando County approval, so look that up first.

Do you charge a deposit for tree work in Forest Oaks?

No. We visit, give you a free written estimate and start the work without a deposit.

How fast can you get to Forest Oaks after a storm?

We answer storm damage calls whatever the hour. Our crew is based in Spring Hill, so we can usually reach Forest Oaks quickly to make fallen trees safe.
