Plant Removal & Replanting Services in Delray Beach, FL & Palm Beach County

Removal costs in Palm Beach County vary based on the number and size of plants, accessibility, disposal requirements, and whether stump and root grinding is included. Typical residential landscape renovation projects range from $2,000 to $15,000 for removal alone, with replanting as a separate line item. We provide detailed estimates after an on-site assessment.

Yes. Large ficus removal is one of our most common services. Ficus trees and hedges develop aggressive root systems that can damage foundations, driveways, pool decks, and sewer lines. We remove the tree or hedge, grind the stump, and extract major surface roots. Full root removal is important because ficus can regenerate from root fragments left in the soil.

The best replacement depends on your desired height, density, and sun exposure. For privacy hedges that stay manageable, we recommend Clusia guttifera for full sun, Podocarpus for sun or shade, and Simpson's Stopper for a native option. These species grow to a predictable height and width without the aggressive spreading behavior of ficus.

Yes. We identify and remove common South Florida invasive species including Brazilian Pepper, Australian Pine, Schefflera, Carrotwood, and Earleaf Acacia. Complete removal includes the root system, and we check for seedlings in surrounding areas. We replace invasive species with native or non-invasive alternatives that provide similar function without the ecological damage.

A typical residential landscape renovation including removal and replanting takes one to three weeks depending on scope. The removal phase usually takes two to five days for an average property. We allow one to three days for site restoration and soil preparation, then one to five days for new planting installation. We coordinate the timeline to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Root removal can sometimes damage irrigation lines, particularly if plants were installed near or over existing pipes. We identify irrigation lines before excavation and work carefully around them. Any damaged lines are repaired or rerouted as part of the project. Irrigation modifications needed for the new planting design are included in our replanting proposal.
