Tree removal in Lakeland, FL
Free referral service: we connect you with independent local tree service providers. Calls may be recorded. How it works
Lakeland is Polk County's largest city, the largest city on Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando, and much of local life revolves around its lakes, such as Lake Morton downtown, Lake Hollingsworth and Lake Mirror.
The City of Lakeland has its own tree rules in Land Development Code Article 4.5 and a Tree Removal Permit Application for dead, diseased, damaged or construction-related removals. A 2024 amendment extended tree preservation to unplatted single- and two-family parcels over one acre. See our permit guide for details.
For trees on public property or limbs blocking a City street, the City Tree Crew takes reports on weekdays at 863-834-2233; after hours, use the Lakeland Police non-emergency line at 863-834-6900. Private yard trees are the owner's responsibility.
