About Southern Environmental Group
We are a locally owned, fully licensed team of ISA Certified Arborists and heavy machinery operators. We built Southern Environmental on a foundation of strict safety protocols, professional-grade equipment, and a commitment to leaving every property better than we found it.
Built on Integrity, Safety, and Hard Work
A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
I started Southern Environmental with a simple goal: to elevate the standard of tree care and land clearing in Central Florida. Too often, property owners are left dealing with unreliable contractors, unfair prices, or damaged lots. We wanted to build a company where a handshake still means something, backed by real professional expertise and execution.
Today, we are proud to operate our own fleet of machinery alongside a dedicated team of Certified Arborists. Whether we are helping a homeowner safely dismantle a hazardous oak over their roof or partnering with local developers to clear commercial acreage, our commitment remains exactly the same, doing the job safely, efficiently, and treating your property with absolute respect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions
Review our most common inquiries below to learn exactly how we handle every tree removal and land clearing project with precision.
Do you haul away the trees and debris?
Yes. We pride ourselves on impeccable site cleanup. Depending on your specific needs, we can haul all tree trunks and brush away, or we can utilize forestry mulching to instantly turn the vegetation into a nutrient-rich ground cover.
Will your heavy equipment damage my driveway or lawn?
Property protection is our top priority. Our operators are highly trained to maneuver excavators and bulldozers safely. We utilize professional ground protection mats whenever necessary to ensure your concrete and surrounding landscape remain completely intact.
Do you handle commercial site development?
We specialize in commercial site preparation across Central Florida. Our crews handle large scale land clearing, dirt grading, and root removal to prepare your lot for immediate construction without costly delays.
How quickly can I get an estimate for my project?
We know your timeline is important. Once you submit a request through our website or give us a call, our team will review your property details and typically provide a comprehensive written estimate within twenty four to forty eight hours.
Do I need to get a permit before removing trees on my property?
In many cases, yes. Tree removal regulations vary significantly between Hillsborough and Polk counties, and many local municipalities require specific permits before a tree can be legally taken down. Our team understands these local ordinances and can help guide you through the permitting process to ensure your project is 100% compliant before we ever start up a chainsaw.
