Tree Service in Sandpiper Bay, Port St. Lucie FL

Crane lifting a sectioned oak trunk over a tile-roof home on the Treasure Coast

Southeast Port St. Lucie along the river — River Park at the north end, Sandpiper Bay around the old country club, Southbend on the North Fork, and the streets off Westmoreland, Prima Vista and Port St. Lucie Boulevard between them — is where the city started. The lots were sold in the early 1960s and built through the '70s and '80s, and the trees the builders left are now the oldest in the city: laurel oaks and water oaks at 60 to 70 years, which is the end of their life, live oaks that have grown across the streets, and slash pines eighty feet tall. Many stand between the house and the seawall, over the dock, or under the lines along the canal, with nowhere to drop anything.

This is the part of the city where we do the most technical removals: crane picks over the roof from the street, sectioned rigging where the crane can't reach, and barge access when the only clear side of the tree is the water. We prune the live oaks that make these streets worth living on, take down the hollow laurel oaks before a storm does, trim the queens and sabals, grind stumps without disturbing the seawall cap, and clean up after every named storm — Sandpiper Bay is on our early route because its trees do the most damage. Most single-family yard trees in Port St. Lucie don't need a city permit, and we tell you when one does.

Questions from Sandpiper Bay, Southbend & River Park homeowners

The oak is between my house and the seawall — can it come out without damage?

Yes — that's most of what we do here. A crane on the street picks the sections straight up and over the roof; where it can't reach we rig and lower each piece. When the water side is the only clear side, we work from a barge. Nothing free-falls.

Is my 1972 laurel oak really at the end of its life?

Laurel and water oaks live 60 to 70 years here and fail from the inside out. Hollow at the base, shedding big limbs, or fungus at the root flare means it's time. If it's sound, we prune it and say so.

Do I need a permit?

Most single-family yard trees in Port St. Lucie don't need a city permit; specimen-size trees and trees in easements can. We check and tell you honestly instead of inventing one.

Can you grind a stump next to the seawall?

Yes — we grind to depth without undermining the seawall cap and stop short of the footing, after locating the irrigation and dock power.

How fast after a hurricane?

Sandpiper Bay and River Park are on our early route because the canal-lot trees do the most damage. Trees off the house first, then the yard, then the debris staged at the curb.
