Dolphin Tree Services in Loxahatchee
Wellington’s beautiful, but the trees here don’t make it easy. They grow fast, drop heavy limbs, and never seem to slow down. Add in the rain, the wind, and hurricane season, and you’ve got a full-time job just keeping the yard safe.
That’s where we come in. We’re Dolphin Tree Service, a small crew that’s been working around Wellington for years. We trim, cut, clean up, and haul off whatever nature drops. We’ve handled everything from a single palm leaning over a driveway to full-yard cleanups after storms that tore half the neighborhood apart.

Tree and Yard Work Around Wellington
Wellington’s full of big yards, winding driveways, and long fences. Some folks have a few palms and hedges. Others have oaks shading the stables and pines lining the canal. Every property’s different. Some need careful trimming to keep horses safe; others just need a good cleanup after months of wind and rain.
Whatever you’ve got, we’ve probably seen worse. Our team takes the time, does it safely, and doesn’t leave until it’s clean.
Landscaping
Landscaping here’s tricky. The sun cooks the grass, the rain floods it, and by the time things dry up, weeds take over. We handle the steady stuff: mowing, edging, trimming bushes, and keeping beds clean. We know what actually grows in Wellington’s soil and what burns out after one season.
We’ll help keep your yard looking kept-up without turning it into a full-time job. We’ve worked on tight suburban lots and wide-open properties, and we treat both the same way. We do the work right and make it last.
Storm Cleanup and Preparation
If you’ve been here a while, you already know what summer means. The wind comes fast, and the trees don’t always stand a chance. We help you get ready before the storm shows up. We do that by cutting weak branches, clearing clutter, and checking what could hit the house or fence line.
Afterwards, when you walk outside and don’t know where to start, that’s when we come back. We’ve cleaned up broken palms tangled in power lines, oaks across driveways, and trees blocking barn entrances. We bring the gear, the crew, and the patience to get it back in shape.
You won’t wait weeks. We show up as soon as the roads are clear.
Hurricane Cleanup
Hurricane cleanup is never small. It’s heavy, muddy work, and it usually happens when everyone’s exhausted. We’ve done it enough to know how to move fast but safely. First thing—clear paths to homes, fences, and barns. Then we work through what’s down piece by piece until the place looks like your property again.
We’ll haul off everything: branches, trunks, and piles of debris, and we’ll take care not to tear up the grass or leave ruts behind. It’s dirty work, but that’s what we’re here for.
Mulch
Good mulch makes a world of difference. It holds water in the soil, keeps weeds down, and helps trees handle the heat. We don’t use cheap filler that fades in a week. We use solid pine bark, cypress, or natural brown mulch. We spread it rightly, not too thick, not piled up against trunks.
We’ll deliver it, spread it clean, and make sure your beds look finished before we pack up. Simple job, but it’s what ties the whole yard together.
Tree Trimming
Tree trimming’s not just about looks. It’s about safety and health. A heavy branch over a barn or a roof might look fine today, then snap in the next storm. We trim to balance weight and open up airflow, so your trees grow strong instead of top-heavy.
We’ve trimmed everything from small ornamentals to massive oaks that needed climbing gear and ropes. Every cut’s clean, and when we’re done, we sweep, rake, and haul off every bit of it.
Your yard won’t just look better. It’ll be safer too.
Tree Cutting and Removal
Sometimes a tree can’t stay. It’s rotted, split, or leaning too close to the house. When that happens, we take it down piece by piece. We rig ropes, control every cut, and drop it safely.
We’ve taken down trees next to barns, over fences, and in tight backyards where there’s no room to make a mistake. If you want the stump gone, we grind it out and level the spot so you can start fresh.
It’s heavy, dirty work, but it’s what we do best.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know when it’s time to trim my trees?
You’ll usually see it. Branches get long, start touching the roof, or hang over the driveway. Palms drop heavy fronds; oaks start shading everything too much. Around Wellington, most folks trim once or twice a year. We always say do it before hurricane season. Lighter trees mean less damage when the wind picks up.
2. Can you really handle cleanup after big storms or hurricanes?
Yes, that’s one of the things we do most. After strong wind or flooding, yards get covered in branches, leaves, and sometimes entire trees. We come out with saws, trailers, and loaders, clear it all, and haul it away. We’ve done cleanups after just about every storm that’s rolled through Wellington.
3. I’ve got a big property. Do you work on horse farms and large yards, too?
All the time. A lot of Wellington properties are big and spread out, and we’ve worked on plenty of them. We’re careful around fences, irrigation lines, and animals. Whether it’s trimming shade trees by the barn or clearing fallen limbs along a long fence line, we handle it safely without tearing things up.
4. What’s the main difference between trimming and removing a tree?
Trimming keeps a tree healthy. We cut what’s too heavy or weak so it stays balanced and strong. Removal’s different. That’s when the tree’s beyond saving, dead, cracked, leaning toward the house, or causing damage. We’ll always check first and tell you honestly if it needs to go or not.
5. When you take a tree down, can you also remove the stump?
Yes, if you want it gone for good. We grind the stump below the surface, fill the hole, and smooth out the area. You can replant it, sod it, or just leave it clean. No tripping over roots or running your mower into them.
6. How can I tell if a tree in my yard is becoming dangerous?
A few signs: the trunk starts leaning more than usual, bark peels off, or limbs fall even when there’s no wind. Sometimes the base feels soft, or you’ll see sawdust. That usually means rot or insects. If anything looks off, we can stop by and check it before it becomes a bigger problem.
7. Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Wellington?
Yes, fully. That’s important for this kind of work. We carry insurance that covers both our crew and your property. You should always ask that before hiring anyone with a chainsaw. A lot of people don’t realize how risky tree work can be until something goes wrong.
8. How soon can you come by to give an estimate?
Usually within a day or two. Sometimes the same day if we’re already nearby. We’ll walk the yard, talk through what you need, and give you a clear price on the spot. No upselling, no hidden stuff later.
9. Do you haul away everything when you’re done?
Every time. We don’t leave piles for someone else to deal with. We cut, load, rake, and sweep before heading out. When we’re done, you’ll be able to walk the yard without seeing a single branch left behind.
10. Which areas do you serve besides Wellington?
We cover most of Palm Beach County: Royal Palm Beach, West Palm, Loxahatchee, Lake Worth, and nearby spots. If you’re close, we’ll make it work.
