Tree Service Jobs in Orlando, FL: Join the Network

Network status in Orlando: 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

Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on TreeService.co by ZIP and service.
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.
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.
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 Orlando market: what jobs look like

Orlando is inland, but hurricanes still cross it, and its neighborhoods carry a heavy canopy of oaks and pines around lakes. Requests here are mostly oak and pine removals, storm-damage cleanup, and working out whether a City of Orlando permit is needed.

Do you need a tree permit in Orlando?

Inside City of Orlando limits, the city issues tree removal permits so only unhealthy, dead, hazardous, or problem trees are removed (City of Orlando: tree removal permit). For residential property, the city says no permit is needed if the owner gets a report from a TRAQ-qualified ISA arborist or a Florida-licensed landscape architect confirming the tree is a danger. Commercial property always needs a permit.

Otherwise you apply online with photos, pay the fee (the city lists $25 for residential properties), and mark the tree. A city arborist inspects, usually within three business days. If the permit requires a replacement tree, you have 60 days to plant it and notify the city.

Many "Orlando" addresses are in unincorporated Orange County or in Winter Park, Maitland, and other cities with their own rules. Check your address on the city's page first.

Trees and problems common in Orlando

Live oak
Laurel oak
Slash pine
Longleaf pine
Sabal palm
Southern magnolia
Bald cypress
Crape myrtle

Laurel oak and water oak ranked low for wind resistance in UF/IFAS coastal plain research; live oak ranked high (UF/IFAS FR174).
Older trees are more likely to fail in storms, and decayed roots or trunks raise the risk further (UF/IFAS FR173). Many lakefront and older-neighborhood oaks fit that description.
Pines can look healthy after a storm and decline months later, so recheck them (UF/IFAS FR173).

Hurricane prep and storm cleanup

Hurricanes can carry strong winds well inland. Charley (2004) and Ian (2022) both caused heavy tree damage in Central Florida (National Hurricane Center). Schedule deadwood removal and clearance from roofs before June 1.

After a storm, report trees on lines to OUC (Orlando Utilities Commission) or Duke Energy, depending on your provider. Saturated sandy soil lets big oaks uproot, so watch for new leans and lifted soil at the base for several days after heavy rain.

Hiring a tree service in Orlando

If a company says your tree qualifies for the no-permit route, ask for the TRAQ-based written report first and keep it. If a permit is needed, the city sends follow-up to the property owner, so make sure you know the inspection date. Questions about city trees go to the City of Orlando's tree team at [email protected].

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.

What Orlando homeowners ask about

From our homeowner guide for Orlando.

How long does an Orlando tree permit take?

The city lists up to three business days to process an application and an arborist inspection within three business days, then the permit is issued if approved.

Can I remove a tree in the city-owned strip by the street?

No. Trees in the public right-of-way belong to the city. Use the city's report-a-problem-tree request instead of hiring a crew.

Pricing and fees

Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.

That's what this page is for. Send your company details and service area, and we'll follow up about routing Orlando quote requests to you. The network is new, so we'll be clear about request volume before you commit.

Do I need an office in Orlando?

No. You need to actually serve Orlando or the ZIP codes you choose. We won't list you anywhere you don't work.

Who pays?

Homeowners don't pay to request quotes. Operators pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing; we'll go over it with you before you receive any jobs, and filling in the interest form doesn't commit you to anything.

What kinds of jobs come through?

Residential and commercial requests for tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, emergency and storm damage, and land or lot clearing. You choose which services and which areas you want.
