Tree Service in Ocoee, FL

Most calls for Tree Service in Ocoee come from families who actually use their yards. Census numbers show Ocoee households average 3.13 people, one of the higher figures in the Orlando area, and almost three-quarters of homes are owner-occupied. That means trampolines, play sets, pools and dogs under the trees, and owners who want to know a limb is not going to come down on any of them.

Where Ocoee's tree story starts. Ocoee grew up around Starke Lake, an open, pine-wooded lake where Dr. J.D. Starke's group settled in the mid-1850s. Later, Bluford Sims began budding wild orange trees here, and his nursery is credited as the first commercial citrus nursery in the United States, supplying groves across Florida and shipping young trees as far as California. Today the groves are gone, but long-lived pines and oaks still stand in older parts of town.

Pines near houses. Tall pines are a common sight on older Ocoee lots. Pines usually fail at the root or snap high in the trunk rather than dropping big limbs, so the questions we ask are different: is the soil heaving at the base, is there resin bleeding or bark beetle activity, and does the tree have room to fall without hitting the house? A pine leaning toward a bedroom is a different conversation than one leaning toward the back fence.

Newer neighborhoods. Ocoee's population passed 47,000 in the 2020 census and the Census estimate for 2025 is close to 52,000. Many of those homes were built in the last few decades with builder-planted oaks and magnolias that are now hitting gutters, lighting and pool cages. A clearance prune every few years keeps them off the house; letting them go means bigger cuts later.

Play areas and stumps. When a tree comes out, many Ocoee families want the space back for a swing set, a garden or an above-ground pool. Grinding the stump below grade and raking out the chips gives you level ground to work with. We discuss how deep to grind and what to do with the chips before we start.
