Services you want jobs for

By submitting, you agree that TreeService.co may contact you by phone or email about joining the network. We'll explain how job requests and fees work before you receive any jobs. See our Privacy Policy.

Network status in Gainesville: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.

How the marketplace works for operators

  1. Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on TreeService.co by ZIP and service.
  2. We turn it into a quote request. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
  3. The request goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
  4. You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.

What's in a quote request

  • ZIP code and matched town
  • Service type and urgency (routine, soon, storm damage, emergency)
  • Residential or commercial property
  • Number of trees and approximate height
  • Species, if the homeowner knows it
  • Where the tree is and how equipment gets in
  • What's near the work: power lines, structures, fences, pools, slopes
  • A short description in the homeowner's words
  • Photos, when provided
  • Contact details and consent to be contacted

The Gainesville market: what jobs look like

Gainesville is a college town with a dense hardwood canopy of oaks, magnolias, and pines. It's inland, so storm damage is mostly wind-thrown trees, and its tree code protects many native trees.

Do you need a tree permit in Gainesville?

Often. Gainesville regulates trees by species and size, focusing on native and naturalized trees, and requires mitigation for each regulated tree removed (City of Gainesville: tree removal regulations). Mitigation depends on the tree's size, species, and condition, the land use, and where on the lot it stands.

The city publishes separate rules for detached single-family homes and for other land uses on the same page, and it also limits pruning: no more than 25 percent of the crown removed at one time. Call the Urban Forestry Program before removal if you aren't sure.

Trees and problems common in Gainesville

  • Live oak
  • Laurel oak
  • Water oak
  • Southern magnolia
  • Loblolly pine
  • Slash pine
  • Sweetgum
  • Pignut hickory
  • Water oak and laurel oak were among the least wind-resistant species in UF/IFAS research, while southern magnolia and live oak were among the most (UF/IFAS FR174).
  • Older, larger trees are more likely to fail in storms (UF/IFAS FR173).
  • Camphor tree and Chinese tallow are on the Florida invasive list and turn up in north-central Florida yards (Florida Invasive Species Council).

Hurricane prep and storm cleanup

Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30 (National Hurricane Center). Inland storms such as Irma (2017) brought down many trees in north-central Florida. Reduce weight on long limbs over the house and remove deadwood in spring.

Report trees on lines to Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) or your provider, and report a fallen tree in the road to Public Works.

Hiring a tree service in Gainesville

Ask whether the tree is regulated, and who files the city permit. Pruning must follow the city's limits, so make sure the crew knows them. The city's tree page also links to ISA's credential verification tool.

Before any digging or stump grinding: underground utilities have to be located first. In Florida that request goes through Sunshine 811 (Florida), or dial 811. Ask any operator whether they place the locate request before grinding.
