I'd like to cut down an oak tree. Does anyone know what the steps are to get approval from The Villages? Someone told me I have to get an arborist to approve it. Then who do I speak to at The Villages?

You don’t need permission any more. Read the reply about rules from Gov. DeSantis. The oak trees The Villages planted In the older sections are now causing home foundation, driveway, breakage and sprinkler line breaks etc.

You can contact Tree Frog landscaping as they have a registered arborist on staff and they are aware of the rules and regulations for oak tree removal, as I recall, these trees cannot be removed unless they are diseased or possibly imminent danger to the home. I believe there is a significant fine involved and the tree may need to be replaced.

We had Mr. Kanani Morris's (Arborist) Tree Frog company trimming our two live oaks two weeks ago. Great work, wonderful clean up, and the trees are beautiful.
