Trees and pests
State-level lists as of 2026, not a survey of Lakeland; check your state's official pest map. Ask a certified arborist or your county extension office what is active near you. More in tree care in Florida.
Storm season
Hurricane season runs from June to November, with the busiest period usually late summer and fall. Daily summer thunderstorms bring wind and lightning.
After a storm: stay clear of leaning or split trees, call the utility for downed lines and 911 if anyone is in danger. Read what to do after a storm or see live storm warnings.
Permits
We could not confirm a city tree permit rule for Lakeland. Call the city planning or forestry office before removing a large tree, and check your HOA rules.
Short explanation, not legal advice. See tree permits by city and what to ask about permits.

Not on its own. 26% of the Lakeland listings we checked had no website. Look instead at insurance, a written quote, recent reviews and how clearly they answer your questions.
There is no magic number. The median Lakeland listing we checked had 52 reviews and the three most-reviewed had between 170 and 536 reviews. A newer company can be good with few reviews; read what customers say and how the owner replies.

Hurricane season runs from June to November, with the busiest period usually late summer and fall. Daily summer thunderstorms bring wind and lightning. Have large trees near the house checked before the season starts.
Many people prune before hurricane season starts, and trees and palms can often be trimmed through much of the year. Avoid heavy cutting right before or during a storm threat, and ask an arborist about the right amount for your tree. Ask a certified arborist about your tree.
It depends on the tree size, how close it is to the house or lines, access for equipment, cleanup and stump work. We do not publish prices for tree work. Get two or three written quotes so you can compare.
We only name a company when its owner claims a free profile and agrees to show it. We do not rank companies, there is no pay-to-rank, and claimed profiles are shown in alphabetical order. To see every local company, search Google Maps and read their reviews.
Claim your free profile on our claim page. We confirm you run the business by phone or email before anything goes live, and you can ask us to change or remove it at any time.
