Tree and palm trimming in Winter Garden
Pruned to standard and never topped. Dead palm fronds and seed pods off, green fronds left on. Anything near a power line goes to a licensed arborist.
What’s included
What tree and palm care includes
Topping a tree doesn’t make it safer. It makes it grow back weaker, faster and closer to the house.
- Palm trimming: dead fronds, seed pods and boots removed
- Crape myrtles and small trees pruned to shape, not topped
- Limbs lifted off the roof, walks and driveway
- Storm prep in early summer, and hauling after
How we do it
How we prune trees and palms
Why topping is refused
Cutting a canopy to stubs forces weak regrowth from below the cut. In a few years there’s more weight, held on worse, higher up.
Palms aren’t pruned like trees
A palm stores food in its green fronds. The “hurricane cut” that strips everything above horizontal starves it. Dead fronds go; green ones stay.
Where we stop
Anything near a power line, big climbs or removals needing a permit go to a licensed arborist. We’ll tell you who.
Pricing
What affects the price
Every job is priced after a free walkthrough, in writing and line by line, so the number doesn’t change on the day.
How the free walkthrough worksYour price depends on
- Number and height of palms and trees
- Access for a ladder or lift
- Amount of debris to haul
- Whether a licensed arborist is needed
Questions
Tree & palm trimming questions
Can you top my tree so it stops growing over the house?
We won’t, because topping forces weak regrowth higher up. Reduction and thinning cuts give you a smaller, safer canopy, and we’ll explain the difference on site.
How often should palms be trimmed?
Once or twice a year for most palms, usually before hurricane season and after flowering, when seed pods and dead fronds build up.
Why shouldn’t palms get a hurricane cut?
The green fronds feed the palm and protect the bud. Stripping them weakens the trunk and can kill the palm over time.
Do you remove trees?
Small trees and shrubs, yes. Large removals, anything near power lines and anything needing a permit go to a licensed arborist.
