Specializing in tight-access technical rope climbing, hazardous tree dismantling, and 24/7 emergency storm cleanup across Lee County. We access backyards heavy bucket trucks can't reach without damaging your turf or septic system.
Fast response from Lehigh Acres' licensed & insured tree climbing pros.
A fallen limb across a driveway is inconvenient. A tree leaning toward a roof, contacting a power line, or sitting in water-saturated soil is an active life-safety hazard. Before anyone grabs a chainsaw, take these exact operational steps.
Never touch, climb, move, or cut a tree contacting a wire or utility pole. Do not touch metal chain-link fences or wet ground near the hazard. A neighborhood power outage does NOT mean a downed service line is dead. Call 911 or Florida Power & Light (FPL) before contacting any tree crew.
Move occupants, children, and pets away from compromised rooms beneath leaning trunks or suspended canopy limbs. If your roof structure is breached, vacate the impact zone immediately.
Cordon off driveways, side yards, and sidewalks from a safe distance. Keep curious neighbors and vehicles at least 1.5 times the total tree height away from any unstable or leaning trunk.
Take wide property shots, close-ups of cracked stems, root plates, and your house number. Never climb onto a roof, ladder, or approach a storm-damaged limb to take a picture.
Dial our direct Lehigh Acres line: (855) 615-0568. Describe structural impacts, trunk splits, utility involvement, and whether access to the driveway is completely blocked.
A chainsaw cut can instantly release severe tension or compression stored in bent wood, causing catastrophic kickback or sudden rolling that crushes anything underneath.

We use traditional rope and saddle climbing methods. We never drive heavy 30-ton bucket trucks across your fragile grass, crushed rock driveways, or delicate underground septic drain fields.
Lee County requires permits for removing protected native shade trees. We verify the single-family 5-tree annual exemption for your specific parcel and assist with all necessary county documentation.
Unlike competitors who hand you scribbled receipts, we provide timestamped before-and-after photo portfolios and line-item invoices formatted specifically for Florida insurance adjusters.
Our pruning follows ANSI A300 Part 1 standards to safeguard long-term tree biology, while our aerial climbing and friction rigging strictly comply with ANSI Z133 safety mandates.
Have a tree leaning over a pool cage or boxed in by 4-foot side gates? Our climbers safely dismantle timber in zero-clearance spaces where boom trucks cannot even enter.
We never leave wood piles or branches behind. Every project includes industrial chipping, heavy log haul-away, lawn raking, and air-blowing driveways clean before we depart.
Use this scannable decision guide to assess potential hazards after storms, heavy summer rains, or long periods of canopy growth across Lehigh Acres.
| Hazard Cause | Warning Signs | Immediate Response | Professional Service | Documentation Needed |

National Weather Service data for the Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres area records approximately 55.93 inches of precipitation annually, with staggering monthly averages of 9.04 to 10.14 inches pouring down between June and September.
In Lehigh Acres’ porous sandy soil, sustained summer downpours saturate the upper root zone, liquefying the soil anchorage that holds 60-foot slash pines and heavy live oaks upright. Combined with intense tropical winds and rapid fungal growth fueled by Florida heat, trees that looked healthy in April can suffer catastrophic root plate failure by August.
Our arborists routinely assess mature native timber near Harns Marsh Preserve, Lehigh Acres Community Park, Lake Camille, Charley Matheny Park, and Jim Fleming Ecological Park, as well as along major residential corridors including Sunshine Boulevard, Gunnery Road, Joel Boulevard, Homestead Road, and SR 82.
Founded in 2020 and backed by over 15 years of hands-on aerial rigging experience, T's Trees and Landscaping was established on a simple realization: modern tree care had become overly reliant on destructive heavy machinery that ruins residential properties.
In Lehigh Acres' sprawling neighborhoods near Harns Marsh, Sunshine Boulevard, and Lake Camille, homes feature expansive lawns, sandy soil, and private septic tanks. Driving massive boom trucks across these yards routinely crushes septic pipes, cracks concrete sidewalks, and ruins grass.
We chose a better path. By mastering traditional rope-and-saddle climbing, friction braking systems, and directional speedline rigging, our climbers ascend towering slash pines and ancient live oaks with zero machinery footprint. We treat your yard like our own, ensuring safe dismantling, honest prices, and a spotless cleanup.

Depends on rigging complexity & hazards
A quote that simply states "remove tree - $400" is an incomplete contract that often leads to surprise fees. In Lehigh Acres, quotes vary based on physical property conditions:
Avoid county fines, denied insurance claims, and unlicensed storm chasers with transparent compliance procedures.
Under Lee County Land Development Code, protected native trees in unincorporated areas generally require permits. However, an existing single-family home may remove up to five (5) trees annually without a permit under the residential exemption.
Florida homeowners insurance policies typically cover storm tree removal only when a covered structure (roof, wall, fence, pool lanai) is struck or a driveway is blocked. Insurers do not cover elective preventive removal.
Florida DBPR guidance clarifies that tree trimming and removal do not require a state contractor license. Because there is no state arborist license, hiring a truly qualified team requires checking two non-negotiable proof points:

"I had a massive 65-foot slash pine leaning precariously toward my bedroom roof. Two other tree companies told me they couldn't reach it without driving a 40,000 lb bucket truck right over my septic tank. T's Trees sent their climber up with ropes and a saddle. He pieced down the entire tree with surgical precision, lowering every heavy branch by hand without a single tire mark on my grass. True masters of their craft!"
"Our canal backyard has narrow 4-foot gates and our pool screen cage is only 6 feet from the seawall. T's Trees did an unbelievable job trimming four huge Royal Palms and skinning the trunks. The trunks look like works of art and they didn't drop a single seed pod into the pool screen. Cleaned up every scrap of debris!"
"Our HOA is very strict about tree aesthetics and licensed contractors. T's Trees provided their Certificate of Insurance immediately, arrived right on schedule, and thinned out our overgrown live oaks following ANSI standards. The trees look natural and balanced, and sunlight can finally reach our lawn again."
"During a severe thunderstorm, a large laurel oak limb snapped and crashed onto our roof tiles. T's Trees answered their emergency phone immediately at 9:30 PM, arrived with emergency lights, rigged the branch safely off the roof, and tarped the hole before the heavy rains started again. Saved us thousands in potential water damage!"
"We have 3 acres in Buckingham that were overgrown with invasive melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, and dead pine snags. T's crew brought heavy-duty chippers and stump grinders, cleared the entire perimeter fence line, and treated the stumps so they won't grow back. Fair pricing and honest, hardworking local guys."
"We had two massive oak stumps right next to our paver driveway that were lifting the stones. T's Trees ground them down 10 inches below grade, chased out all the surface roots, backfilled the soil, and left the area completely flat. Highly recommend their services!"
