Start with safety, then choose your next step
A tree that leans, splits or rests on a roof is not a weekend project. In Oviedo, FL, almost daily summer storms and a long hurricane season put steady strain on trees. Wet soil, heavy humidity and strong gusts can turn a tired tree into a real hazard.
Tonsbroad Tree Service is a referral service. It does not cut, haul or grind anything. It connects you with independent local providers in our network, and those providers do the work.
Before you do anything else, keep these rules in mind:
- Do stay well away from a damaged tree and keep children and pets inside.
- Do treat any line touching a tree as live and report it to the utility.
- Do not climb or cut a tree that is leaning on a house or wires.
- Do not hire anyone who cannot explain their plan in plain words.
If the tree is already a danger, Request a callback to check provider availability in your area.

How It Works
What Tonsbroad Tree Service actually does
We are a go-between. You tell us what is going on with your tree. We point you to independent providers in the Oviedo area who handle that kind of job. They visit, assess the tree and quote the work in writing.
Your options, in plain words
Not every tree needs to come down. A provider may suggest one of several paths:
- Full removal when the tree is dead, split, diseased or too close to the home.
- Pruning or trimming when the problem is a few weak limbs.
- Sectional takedown when the tree stands near a roof, fence or pool and cannot simply fall.
- Stump grinding after the tree is gone, so the yard is usable again.
Ask the provider why they recommend one path over another. A good answer is specific to your tree.
The likely next steps
- Describe the tree, its size and where it stands.
- Get matched with a local provider.
- Let the provider inspect it and explain the plan.
- Review the written quote, the cleanup terms and any permit needs.
- Choose a date that works for you.
What to expect from us
We do not set prices, run crews or promise schedules. Each provider is independent and sets its own terms. Our job is to help you ask better questions before you agree to anything.
Serving Oviedo and nearby
Tonsbroad Tree Service helps homeowners across Oviedo and the Oviedo area. The housing here shapes how tree jobs go. Many homes are concrete block on slabs, with tile or shingle roofs, and a lot of them sit in subdivisions and condo communities from the 1970s through the 2000s. Trees planted decades ago have grown tall and close to roofs, pools, screen enclosures and fences.
That closeness matters. A limb that clears a roof in calm weather can hit it hard in a summer squall. Tile roofs can crack under a falling branch, and shingle roofs can be punctured. Providers who work here know how to rig and lower sections instead of dropping them.
Tight lots also affect access. Equipment may need to pass through a narrow side yard or work from the street. Condo and HOA communities may have their own rules about notice, hours and debris, so ask the provider what applies to you.
If you live in the area and a tree is worrying you, start by describing it. Request a callback to check provider availability, or send a request and review your options at your own pace.

Keeping Your Yard Safe Year-Round
Why local weather matters
Warm, humid conditions and frequent storms keep trees growing fast and keep the soil soft. Soft soil loosens roots. Heavy canopies catch wind like sails. Hurricane season, from June through November, is when weak trees are most likely to fail.
Spot the warning signs early
- Cracks or splits in the trunk or at a fork
- Leaning that is new or getting worse
- Dead branches, fungus or hollow spots
- Roots lifting the soil or slab edge
- Limbs hanging over the roof
If you see these, ask a local provider to look before the next storm.
Before storm season
Have questionable trees checked in spring. Thin overgrown crowns so wind can pass through. Remove dead wood. Waiting until a storm warning often means a long line of other homeowners.
After a storm
Do photograph the damage from a safe distance. Do not walk under hanging limbs. Do not cut a tree that is tangled in power lines. Storm tree clearance can involve tension in the wood that makes cuts unpredictable.
After the work is done
Grinding the stump stops regrowth and removes a trip hazard. Fill the hole with soil and choose a replacement tree suited to the space, away from roofs and slabs.
Insurance and paperwork
Some policies may cover sudden damage, so check your policy. Providers can often help document damage for a claim. Keep photos, invoices and written quotes.
Choosing a provider
Ask about insurance, cleanup, stump options and who will be on site. Get the quote in writing and compare more than one if the job is large.
Ask About Your Tree
Tell us what you are seeing. Include the tree's size, how close it is to the house, and whether it has already fallen or cracked. Tonsbroad Tree Service will point you to independent local providers who can look at the job and quote it in writing.
