Why Choose Panorama Tree Care for Tree Removal
ISA-Certified Arborists You Can Trust

A+ Rated BBB Accredited Business
Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects decades of honest, dependable service to homeowners and businesses.
Licensed, Insured, and Locally Owned

Our Tree Removal Process in Tampa
We approach tree removal as a last resort, focusing first on the tree’s health and longevity. Our process includes:
Free Arborist Assessment
We begin with a professional evaluation of your tree’s condition, health, and structural stability. You’ll receive a detailed, written quote — no surprises.
Permitting & Planning
We handle all required tree permits to keep your project fully compliant.
Safe, Controlled Removal
Using cranes, bucket trucks, rope systems, and precision rigging, we remove each section carefully to protect nearby buildings, fences, and landscaping.
Stump Grinding & Site Cleanup
We grind stumps below grade, haul away debris, and leave your property clean and ready for new planting or landscape design.
Tree Removal Permits & Tampa's Grand Tree Ordinance
Most removals inside the City of Tampa require a permit, and protected Grand Trees are held to strict standards under the city's Tree and Landscape Code. As ISA-Certified, TRAQ-qualified arborists, we document the tree's condition, file the permit for you, and complete the work to ANSI A300 standards.
Grand Trees — large oaks and other protected species above set trunk diameters — generally cannot be removed unless they are dead, hazardous, or diseased, and removal usually requires a certified arborist's report. We handle the Hillsborough County and municipal requirements so your project stays fully compliant.
ISA-Certified · ANSI A300 · Permit filing includedTampa Tree Species We Commonly Remove
Tampa Bay's canopy is dominated by oaks and palms. We safely remove every species in the region, including:
Live Oak & Laurel Oak
The area's signature shade trees; laurel oaks decline faster and often need removal sooner.
Water Oak
Prone to internal rot and limb failure in storms.
Sabal Palm & Queen Palm
Removed and trimmed with wind-load and frond hazards in mind.
Slash & Sand Pine
Shallow-rooted and storm-vulnerable Florida natives.
Camphor & Laurel
Fast-growing trees that frequently outgrow their space.
Brazilian Pepper & Invasives
Removed to protect the native Tampa Bay canopy.
When Is Tree Removal Necessary in Tampa?
You may need professional removal if your tree shows signs such as:
- Large cracks, cavities, or a hollow trunk
- Fungal conks or mushrooms growing near the base
- Dead, hanging, or broken limbs with internal decay
- Root damage or soil upheaval
- A sudden lean toward your home or power lines
- Storm or hurricane damage, or untreatable pests like laurel wilt
If you’re unsure, our arborists will provide an honest assessment and explore all possible alternatives first.

What Clients Say About Our Tree Removal
Safe and efficient removal of an oak tree on our front yard. Tony and his team assessed the condition of our tree and determined that removal was the best option. They completed all necessary permits, cut down and removed the tree, and grinded the stump. A job well done.
Tony Padgett and his team are top-tier professionals. I hired Panorama Tree Care for a high-stakes removal involving two large trees. Tony's expertise as a Certified Arborist was clear from the start. His pricing was fair, his communication was transparent, and his knowledge of tree biology and structural impact is top-tier.
I have used Panorama Tree Care several times over the years and would not use anyone else. They are thorough, professional and do a great job. They did a great job taking down several large Oak trees and also did the stump grind.
