Wakulla County grows pines the way other places grow grass, and sooner or later one of them has to come down. Coste Tree Service removes trees across Crawfordville and the rest of Wakulla County, from a single slash pine leaning over a roof in Wakulla Gardens to a stand of dead timber on a rural lot off Crawfordville Highway. We take the tree down in control, haul the debris off, and leave your property clean.
Crawfordville is a short drive down 319 from our Tallahassee base, and we treat it as home turf. Same crew, same written estimate, same cleanup.
Most of the removals we do in Wakulla County trace back to the ground the trees grow in. The county sits on sandy coastal plain soil, and the slash and loblolly pines that dominate it root shallow in that sand. A few days of heavy rain loosens the root plate, a strong gust finishes the job, and a pine that stood for forty years is suddenly across a driveway. Pine bark beetles work the stressed trees in between storms, killing them standing.
Live oaks and water oaks round out most Crawfordville lots. Live oaks are tough and rarely need removal unless they are failing or badly placed. Water oaks are the opposite, hollowing out from the inside while the canopy still looks green, and they are a common surprise failure. We check the base, the trunk, and the lean before we recommend anything, and we tell you plainly whether a tree can be saved or should go.
Tree size and situation | Typical range |
|---|---|
Small tree, open yard, under 30 feet | $400 to $600 |
Medium pine or oak, 30 to 60 feet, clear drop zone | $700 to $1000 |
Large pine over a structure, sectional takedown | $1000 to $3000 |
Large oak over home, rigged and lowered | $2000 to $5000+ |
Dead or storm-damaged tree, hazardous removal | $2000 to $5000+ |
What moves the number on a Wakulla County job: the height of the tree, whether the equipment can drive to it on a sandy lot or everything has to be climbed, what sits underneath (a roof, a well head, a septic drainfield), and how much wood has to be hauled. Pines are tall and relatively light. A big oak over a house is slow, technical work. A tree already dead or cracked costs more because nobody climbs it the normal way.
Crawfordville lots give us more room than a Tallahassee neighborhood, but room does not make a removal simple. A sixty-foot pine leaning toward a house still has to come down in pieces, and a septic drainfield is as off-limits as a roof when we plan where the wood lands.
Rules are a little different out here. Crawfordville is unincorporated, so Wakulla County’s land development rules apply rather than Tallahassee’s city ordinance, and the county does protect certain trees. We check whether yours is covered before anything is cut, and we recommend confirming current requirements with Wakulla County Planning.

Every Coste tree removal quote covers:
Removal leaves a low stump. Grinding it below grade is a separate service on your quote, so you can decide whether you want to mow over the spot or leave it. If you would rather keep the wood, tell us at the estimate and we will cut it to length instead of hauling it. For a tree that is already on your house or blocking your drive, see our Emergency Tree Service in Crawfordville page.
Coste Tree Service removes trees throughout Crawfordville and Wakulla County, including Medart, Wakulla Gardens, Magnolia Gardens, Wakulla Station, Sopchoppy, Panacea, Shell Point, St. Marks, and Ochlockonee Bay, along with Woodville across the Leon County line.

Yes. A leaning pine over a structure is dismantled in sections from the top down, with each piece rigged and lowered, rather than felled. It is the most common removal we do in Wakulla County.
A dead pine gets brittle fast and can shed limbs or snap without warning, especially after beetle damage. It should come down before the next storm. We handle dead and hazardous removals with extra rigging so nobody is under it.
We plan access to protect your lot. On soft sand we use mats where needed and climb rather than drive where the ground will not hold. Drives, wells, and septic drainfields are mapped before we start.
Your choice. We haul everything by default. If you want firewood, we cut it to length and leave it stacked.
All of Wakulla County, including the coast. Crawfordville is a regular part of our route.
