Why Homeowners Call Us for Tree Removal
Our founder, Apollo O’Neil, removed his first tree right here in Clearwater, and ever since then we’ve been safely removing declining, hazardous, and problem trees across Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay area.
At O’Neil’s Tree Service we always try to preserve trees and if your tree can be saved instead of removed, we often recommend proper reduction pruning to make it safer without taking it down. However, when it’s the right thing to do such as when a tree is dead, failing, creating a hazard, or needs to be removed for construction, we make sure the job is done safely, cleanly and with as little impact on your property as possible. Tree removals are some of the most dangerous jobs in arboriculture, which is why our arborists and crew are highly trained and follow the most current climbing, rigging and safety standards. Whether a tree is near a home, over a pool, above a roof, or too dangerous to climb, we use cranes, grapple trucks and turf friendly equipment to remove it safely and efficiently.

What to Expect When You Hire Us
When one of our estimators visits your property we look for certain factors which dictate the price of your tree removal and strategize the plan for how to complete the job. Often these plans are included on your proposals and could include annotated photos to really give a good visual of how the job will go. Here are some of the factors we consider that you should expect when one of our tree care experts shows up:
- The safest way for personnel to perform their work. (This is probably the first and most important factor)
- In Pinellas county, occasionally the most most efficient way to remove a tree can include cranes, as the yards are tight, however, this is not always the case and many jobs may only include tree climbers, lifts, bucket trucks and small tractors. (The most efficient way can save labor hours and reduce the cost of tree removal greatly).
Almost every municipality within Pinellas and Hillsborough county require a permit before a tree can be removed. We often help homeowners through this process or do it for them to save time and reduce stress.
Once the permit is approved, we schedule your job and most removals are completed in one day. When we are done, we do our best to clean the property thoroughly. Our goal is to try and make it look like we were never there.. minus the stump
