What cabling and planting cost
Cabling is $200 to $400 per tree. Planting is $100 to $300 per tree. Where a job lands in each range depends on the individual tree and how easy it is to work around, so a quote for one yard says little about the yard next door.
What moves the price on a felling job
Before a tree comes down we look at its lean, the weight of the crown, the wind, and whatever is standing in the way, whether that's a roof, a fence or a power line. We also plan an escape path away from the fall line. A tree with a heavy crown leaning toward the house takes more setup and more hands than a straight one in open lawn, and the price follows that.
Overhead and ground crews have to work in step, and that coordination takes time. Chainsaw operators keep firm footing and a two-handed grip through every cut, which is why we don't rush the slow ones.
The stump grinder is a separate step
Once the trunk is on the ground, the stump grinder comes in to deal with what's left. That's its own block of time, and it's the part of a removal that surprises people on the bill. Ask for the stump to be quoted as its own line so you can see what each step costs.
Heat and soil in Rockledge
Rockledge sits in a hot climate with long cooling seasons (zone 2A), and the soils here have shrink-swell potential, meaning the ground moves as moisture comes and goes. For a planting job that affects where the tree goes and how it's set. For a tree that's already in, it's one more thing we check before we commit to a method.
Call us, we'll walk the property, look at the tree, and give you a number for that job.

Common Questions
Permit rules vary by city and tree species or size. Many municipalities require permits for trees above a certain diameter or protected species. Check local ordinances before work begins to avoid fines; the tree service can often advise on requirements.
Pruning costs range from $75 to $1,500. Late dormant season, just before spring growth, is often ideal because wounds close quickly and pests are inactive. Avoid trimming during leaf-out or fall color change when the tree is stressed.
The rule is a safety guideline: maintain a 5-foot exclusion zone around the sawyer, keep bystanders at least 15 feet away from the tree, and clear a 90-degree escape path opposite the planned fall direction. Proper planning reduces struck-by injuries.
