How do you handle working with large trees in swampy or wet areas in Destin, Florida.

We use ground mats to create stable access paths, allowing our equipment to safely reach large trees in swampy or wet areas in and around Destin.

What’s the best way to prepare trees for Destin, Florida's hurricane season?

To prepare trees for Destin's hurricane season, avoid overwatering to keep roots strong. An arborist can assess trees for dead or diseased branches and perform proactive pruning to reduce branch weight. Our plant health care program promotes root growth and overall tree health, boosting resilience to high winds and heavy rain.

What is your process for removing a tree close to power lines or buildings around Destin, Florida?

We will not service trees within the minimum approach distance for power lines, typically 10 feet from primary lines in Destin. We may work closer to telecom or house drops, which sometimes require de-energization or line removal by the utility provider. Special tools and training ensure work is performed safely.

How long does a tree removal or trimming job generally take?

The duration of a tree removal or pruning project depends on the tree’s size, condition, and location in Destin, Florida. It could range from one hour to multiple days. Schedule a consultation with one of our certified arborists to get an accurate estimate tailored to your needs.

Are there specific rules for removing mangroves or other protected species in Destin, Florida?

Mangroves are a protected species in Florida. They cannot be removed without state approval. If a mangrove is under 10 feet tall, homeowners may prune to six feet, but no lower. For mangroves 10 feet or taller, pruning must be done by a Professional Mangrove Trimmer. Ask your arborist for additional Mangrove protocols.

Chevelle helped us with our oak trees and a large crepe myrtle that needed trimming. He provided advice and explained exactly what they would do with the trees and why and provided reasonable price for the work. Will definitely use this SavATree again.

They have always been prompt and complete in their service. We had one tree we weren’t sure we could save, but it looks fine now I highly recommend them.

I cannot recommend Sav-a-Tree enough. They did an outstanding job pruning our Live Oaks and Magnolia trees. The trees look so much better all cleaned up. And my back is thankful for at least somewhat fewer leaves to rake for now. Big thanks to Chevelle, Felipe, John, and Andrew! Top notch crew that left my yard cleaner than they found it, even cleaned my roof off! Sav-a-Tree is the only...

Had a great experience with Matt’s crew. They trimmed about 20 trees on my property and cut down 3. Very quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Left no trace. Just clean trees! Highly recommend them!
