An interest form, not a contract: no payment, no commitment.

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 Lakeland: 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 Lakeland market: what jobs look like

Lakeland is an inland city of lakes, with slash pines, live oaks, and laurel oaks across older neighborhoods. Storms here bring wind-thrown trees rather than surge, so requests center on oak and pine removals and pruning.

Do you need a tree permit in Lakeland?

Possibly. The City of Lakeland provides a Tree Removal Permit Application for removing a tree from residential or commercial property when it's dead, diseased, damaged, or in the way of construction, and its tree preservation standards are in Article 4.5 of the Land Development Code (City of Lakeland: urban forest).

We couldn't confirm the exact exemptions for single-family lots from an official city page, so check with the city before removing a large tree. The city's tree crew only handles public trees; private trees are the owner's responsibility.

Trees and problems common in Lakeland

  • Slash pine
  • Live oak
  • Laurel oak
  • Sabal palm
  • Bald cypress
  • Crape myrtle
  • Southern magnolia
  • The city lists slash pine, crape myrtle, live oak, sabal palm, bald cypress, and laurel oak as its predominant public tree species.
  • Laurel oak ranked low for wind resistance in UF/IFAS research (UF/IFAS FR174).
  • Trees in saturated soil, such as along lakes after heavy rain, are more likely to uproot (UF/IFAS FR173).

Hurricane prep and storm cleanup

Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 (National Hurricane Center). Charley (2004), Ian (2022), and Milton (2024) all brought damaging wind to Polk County. Spring pruning of deadwood and heavy limbs is the best prep.

Report trees on lines to Lakeland Electric. For downed limbs on public property, call the city's tree crew, or the police non-emergency line after hours.

Hiring a tree service in Lakeland

Ask whether the company will check with the city about permits before removal. The city points residents to the Florida Chapter of the ISA for finding certified arborists.
