Our Services
What Our Tree and Stump Removal Service Covers
A dead tree, a stubborn stump, or an overgrown tree line does more than look messy. It can block drainage, damage foundations, and turn a building project into a headache before it starts. Tree removal and stump removal go hand in hand on most properties we visit, whether it's a single hazard tree near the house or unwanted tree removal ahead of new construction. We handle the whole job, from the first cut to hauling off the debris, so you're not left with a pile of brush and a hole where a stump used to be.
Our crews handle everything from single backyard trees to full tree clearing projects on wooded lots, and we grind or dig out stumps completely so they don't sprout back or interfere with future landscaping, driveways, or grading work.

Our Process
Our Tree and Stump Clearing Process
Every property around Cleveland and Ocoee sits a little differently, whether it's a flat lot near town or a lot carved into a ridge. We walk the site before we bring in equipment so we know exactly what we're dealing with.
- Step 01
On-Site Assessment
We look at the tree or stump in question, the slope of the land, and anything nearby like fences, driveways, or utility lines. Red clay soil holds moisture differently than sandy or loamy ground, so we factor that into how we plan access and equipment.
- Step 02
Tree Removal and Cutting
Trees are cut down in sections when space is tight, or felled whole when there's clearance. We take extra care around structures, power lines, and sloped ground where a falling tree could cause more damage than intended.
- Step 03
Stump Removal or Grinding
Once the tree is down, we remove or grind the stump based on what you're planning next. Full stump removal is usually the better choice ahead of grading, a new driveway, or a retaining wall installation, since it clears the root system completely.
- Step 04
Cleanup and Site Grading
We haul away logs, brush, and grindings, then grade the area so it's ready for whatever comes next, whether that's new lawn, a garden bed, or additional excavation work. If drainage was an issue near the old tree, this is also a good time to talk about a french drain installation to keep water moving the right way.
Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Evergreen for Tree and Stump Removal
Equipment Built for Hillside Lots
We run machinery sized for the tight access and uneven ground common on Cleveland and Ocoee properties, so we can reach trees and stumps that larger crews might have to skip or damage the yard to get to.
Local Knowledge of Red Clay Soil
Years of digging in this area's clay-heavy ground means we know how roots grow, how the soil holds water, and how to grade the area afterward so it doesn't turn into a mud pit or a low spot that collects rain.
One Call for the Whole Job
Tree down, stump gone, brush cleared, and site graded, all handled by the same crew in one visit instead of juggling multiple contractors for a single problem area.
What We Offer
Related Site Work We Provide
Tree and stump removal is often just the first step. Many of our customers pair it with grading, drainage, or landscaping work to finish the site properly once the trees and roots are out of the way.
Site Preparation
Clearing the way for a new build, patio, or addition often starts with removing trees and stumps, then grading the site to a stable, buildable condition.
Land Clearing & Grading
For larger lots or wooded acreage, our land clearing tree removal service clears trees, brush, and stumps across the whole property and leaves it graded and usable.
Utility Trenching
Once trees and roots are cleared, we can trench for water lines, power lines, or conduit without interference from stumps or root systems underground.
Light Demolition
If tree removal is part of a bigger cleanup project, we also handle light demolition of sheds, old decks, and concrete pad removal so the whole area is ready for its next use.
Common Questions
Tree and Stump Removal Questions
Here are some of the questions we hear most often from homeowners about tree and stump removal in the Cleveland and Ocoee area.
Do you remove the stump completely, or just grind it down?
We offer both options. Stump grinding removes the visible stump and top roots so the area is level and safe to walk or mow over. Full stump removal digs out the entire root ball, which is usually the better choice if you're planning to grade the area, pour concrete, or install a driveway or retaining wall on that spot.
What happens to the wood and brush after a tree comes down?
We haul away logs, limbs, and brush as part of the job unless you'd like to keep firewood for yourself. Brush clearing is included in every tree removal, so you're not left with debris piled in the yard.
Can you remove trees on a slope or hillside lot?
Yes. A lot of the properties we work on around Ocoee and Cleveland sit on graded or hillside terrain, and we plan equipment access and tree felling direction around the slope to protect the site and anything nearby.
Should I remove a stump before starting a landscaping or drainage project?
In most cases, yes. Old stumps and root systems can interfere with grading, drainage swales, and landscape installation, and roots left in the ground can cause settling issues later. If you're planning a new lawn, a French drain, or landscape lighting installation, clearing the stump first gives us a clean, stable base to work from.
