FAQs
What tree services does Coste Tree Service offer?
The company handles tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding, hurricane prep tree trimming, debris hauling, and emergency and storm damage work for homeowners and businesses across Tallahassee and Leon County.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Coste Tree Service carries general liability and workers compensation coverage, and a certificate is available on request. The company recommends confirming this with any tree company before work starts.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free and carry no obligation for any tree job in Tallahassee and Leon County, big or small, and you get a written price after a free on-site look.
Do you offer emergency tree removal after a storm?
Yes. When a tree falls on a house, blocks a driveway, or is leaning and about to go, the crew responds and makes the site safe. For the fastest response, call directly rather than using the form, and if a tree is on a power line, call your electric utility first.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Tallahassee?
Sometimes. Single-family lots are broadly exempt for non-protected trees up to 36 inches in diameter, but protected species such as live oak, dogwood, and longleaf pine have their own rules regardless of size. Coste Tree Service checks whether your tree is protected and handles the permit filing when one is required.
Do you remove the stump too, or just the tree?
Stump grinding is a separate service and a separate line on the quote. Removal takes the tree down to a low stump, and grinding takes that stump below grade so you can mow or plant over it. Both can be done, just mention it at the estimate.
Do you top trees?
No. Topping cuts limbs back to stubs, which triggers weak regrowth and opens wounds the tree cannot seal, making it more likely to fail in a storm. The crew uses crown reduction instead, shortening limbs back to a healthy branch without leaving stubs.
How soon can you come out?
Free estimates are scheduled quickly, and emergency and storm calls get priority. Call or send a message describing the job and the team gets back to you within one business day.
