Tree Service in Kissimmee, FL

Tree Service in Kissimmee is shaped by August 13, 2004. That evening Hurricane Charley crossed the city with winds over 100 mph, damaging homes, toppling trees and cutting power citywide. Kissimmee Utility Authority restored power to 54% of residents within 72 hours and 85% within a week, but full service did not return until August 28. Many of the trees in Kissimmee yards today either survived that storm or were planted afterward, and both kinds need attention before the next one.

Storm prep that actually helps

The goal before hurricane season is a tree that lets wind through and has no dead or weakly attached limbs to throw. For oaks that means removing deadwood, shortening the longest limbs over the house and correcting tight V-shaped forks on younger trees. For palms it means removing dead fronds and seed stalks without stripping the green crown. Over-thinning, sometimes sold as a hurricane cut, leaves weight at the tips and does more harm than good.

Lake Toho and Shingle Creek

Kissimmee borders the north shore of Lake Tohopekaliga, a 22,700-acre lake known for bass fishing. Its main inflow is Shingle Creek, which rises in Orlando and runs through Kissimmee; it is often called the headwaters of the Everglades. During Hurricane Ian in 2022, parts of Kissimmee saw some of Osceola County's worst flooding. Trees on low, wet lots near the creek and lake should be checked after high water for root loss and lean.

Power lines and KUA

Kissimmee Utility Authority, owned by the city, provides electric service here. Do not prune or remove anything touching or near an energized line yourself, and do not hire anyone to do it until the utility has been contacted. Once the line is safe, we handle the rest of the tree.

Yard waste in the city

The City of Kissimmee collects yard waste weekly in the green container, kept separate from garbage and without plastic bags. Extra bundles are charged as an additional service. A tree removal produces far more than a cart will hold, so our estimates list hauling and chipping clearly.

Census QuickFacts shows Kissimmee's owner-occupied rate at 46.3%, with nearly three people per household and more than 85,000 residents estimated for 2025. We work with owners, landlords and property managers, and can coordinate access with tenants.
