Your tree crew in Tampa
Grand oaks, tight urban lots and everything between — we work all of Tampa. Removal, trimming, stumps and storm cleanup — handled by the same licensed & insured H&M crew, with free estimates and honest advice.
Tree care in Tampa, the local version
Tampa yards range from grand oaks in Seminole Heights and South Tampa to palms along the bay and pines in New Tampa. Working here means tight urban access, protected trees, and neighbors close enough to matter — our crew plans every drop accordingly.
We run removals, trimming and stump grinding across the whole city, and after named storms our grapple truck works Tampa streets until the debris is gone.
Permits in Hillsborough County
Inside Tampa city limits, tree removal is regulated by the City of Tampa's tree code — grand oaks are protected and most healthy-tree removals need a permit. We handle the paperwork.

Tampa questions, answered
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Tampa?
Usually yes. The City of Tampa protects most trees over a certain size — grand oaks especially — and requires a permit before removal. Dead or hazardous trees qualify for a faster process. H&M Tree Service handles City of Tampa tree permits for customers regularly and will confirm what your tree needs before any work starts.
How much does tree removal cost in Tampa?
Small trees in open Tampa yards start at a few hundred dollars; large oaks over houses or pool cages can run several thousand because they come down in rigged sections. H&M Tree Service quotes exact prices free, in person — the quote is the final price.
