Arborist in New Smyrna Beach, FL
Trees in New Smyrna Beach grow in salt air, sandy soil and some of Volusia County’s highest wind exposure. Pines die back after drought and storm stress, and palms dominate many landscapes. Our arborist assesses coastal trees with those conditions in mind.
Arborist services in New Smyrna Beach
A New Smyrna Beach arborist evaluates tree and palm health, storm and salt damage, and failure risk, then recommends whether to keep, prune or remove. The City offers a tree-removal inspection request before its permit application, so an assessment helps you prepare.
Coastal tree concerns
- Dead and dying pines after drought, beetles or storm stress
- Palms with nutrient deficiencies or declining crowns
- Salt and wind damage on the windward side of canopies
- Live oaks in the older neighborhoods west of the river
- Trees undermined by sandy soil and high water tables
Before and after storm season
An assessment before June identifies trees that are likely to fail in summer storms while there is still time to prune or remove them. After a storm, the priority is hanging limbs, split trunks and trees with lifted root plates.

Common
questions.
Does New Smyrna Beach inspect trees before removal?
The City offers a tree-removal inspection request before the permit application. Our assessment is separate and can support your request.
Are dead pines a priority?
Yes. Dead pines lose strength quickly and can fail without warning. Have one near a structure looked at promptly.
Can you assess palms too?
Yes. See our palm tree trimming page for common palm issues.
