If you have a dead, damaged, or dangerously overgrown tree on your Clearwater property, removal is often the safest and most cost-effective option. Dylan's Tree Service handles tree removal across Clearwater and all of Pinellas County — licensed, insured, and offering free estimates.
Not every problematic tree needs to be removed, but in some cases removal is the right call:
Dead or dying trees — a dead tree is a storm hazard and should come down before hurricane season
Significant structural damage — large splits, hollow trunks, or major decay that can't be treated
Root damage to structures — roots growing into foundations, driveways, or sewer lines
Tree leaning toward the house — especially after a storm when root structure is compromised
Disease or pest infestation — when a tree can't be saved and poses a risk to nearby trees
Renovation or landscaping projects — clearing space for a new pool, addition, or redesign
What Does Tree Removal Cost in Clearwater?
Tree removal costs in Clearwater and Pinellas County vary based on tree size, access, and complexity:
Small trees (under 25 ft): $300–$600
Medium trees (25–50 ft): $600–$1,200
Large trees (over 50 ft): $1,200–$2,500+
These ranges include cutting, lowering branches safely, and cleanup. Stump grinding is typically quoted separately. For an exact number on your specific tree, call Dylan's for a free estimate.
Does Clearwater Require a Permit for Tree Removal?
Yes — the City of Clearwater has a tree protection ordinance. Many trees, especially large canopy trees like live oaks, require a permit before removal. Dylan's Tree Service can advise you on the permit process for your property. The city's environmental development department handles these permits and they typically take 5–10 business days to process.
