Fort Myers homeowners live with live oaks, royal palms, and mahogany trees planted deep in sandy soil on flat terrain that floods fast when storms hit. The McGregor corridor's century-old oaks and the newer neighborhoods full of young palms mean tree work here is year-round, urgent, and specific to shallow roots, salt spray, and hurricane-force wind.
When a laurel oak shows trunk decay, a palm develops lethal bronzing, or a storm tears limbs over your roof or power line, you need a crew that understands Fort Myers' exact conditions. Cape Coral Tree Service has been removing, trimming, and grinding stumps across this area for years. We know which species fail first in our sandy, high-water-table soil, and we move fast when the weather turns.
Tree Service in Fort Myers (33916)
Fort Myers sits on dredged sand and shell fill laced with canals. Your soil is shallow, your water table is high, and your trees root sideways instead of down. Royal palms, queen palms, coconut palms, and Southern live oaks dominate residential yards, along with mahogany, black olive, gumbo limbo, and sea grape. Most homes are 1960s-70s concrete-block ranches, 1980s-90s stucco ranches with pool cages, Mediterranean two-story homes around Cape Harbour, or newer pool homes built in the Northeast and Northwest Cape on once-vacant lots.
Our team handles the real problems that come with this landscape: palm ganoderma and lethal bronzing, laurel oak trunk decay, shallow-rooted trees toppling in saturated sand, wind damage from tropical storms and hurricanes (the 2022 Ian damage is still visible on many properties), salt burn after surge, and invasive Brazilian pepper and melaleuca on canal banks.

How a Job Works in Fort Myers
You call us at (239) 946-6986 or request a free estimate online. We come to your property, assess the tree or trees, check for power lines, HOA restrictions, and property line issues, and give you a clear price and timeline. We listen to what you need: hazard removal, storm cleanup, routine trimming, or land clearing.
On the day of work, our crew brings the right equipment for your lot size and tree species. Fort Myers yards are often tight, with carports, pool cages, and boat docks close by, so we plan access carefully and use rigging and lowering techniques to keep your home, vehicles, and landscaping safe. We grind stumps below grade, haul debris, and clean up every branch and chip.
When we're done, your property is clean and safe. We walk you through the work, answer questions, and make sure you're satisfied before we leave.
Tree removal in Fort Myers typically runs from a few hundred dollars for a small palm to $2,000 or more for a large live oak or mahogany, depending on height, species, proximity to structures, and debris volume. Tree trimming and crown thinning start at $250. Stump grinding begins at $150. Hedge trimming and shrub care start at $45. Emergency tree removal after storm damage is always free to estimate, and we prioritize urgent calls. The biggest cost factors are tree size, species, access (tight lots cost more), whether power lines are nearby, and how much debris we haul. Call us at (239) 946-6986 for a free, no-obligation estimate on your specific job. We'll give you a real number, not a guess.
