Pruning & Trimming

Pruning is an important practice to ensure the health and structural integrity of a tree. It is so important knowing proper pruning when caring for trees. The most common pruning in mature trees includes removal of deadwood, thinning and possible weight or height reduction. These practices are important in keeping your trees healthy and safe. There are thousands of different species of trees, and each will react differently to pruning. We strive to keep up to date with the most recent and innovative pruning techniques. We frequently attend workshops and seminars with some of the top researchers in the industry to expand and educate ourselves to better serve you, the customer in all your tree care needs.

Palms are very unique. They are very strong, exotic trees that are a symbol of Florida’s tropical environment. Nearly one third of the world's population depends on palms for food and economy. This is why it is very important to preserve these palms, and the way to do that is through proper pruning. Palms are monocots meaning they lack the cell growth that help prevent the decay in trees. When the soft base of the crown is damaged, it creates decay and structural weakness in the trunk of the tree. Once this has happened the tree cannot fix itself, it only gets worse until it fails or dies. It is very important not to over prune or cut into the soft area of the crown. We follow the proper care guidelines to ensure proper pruning and ensure the health and longevity of these amazing trees.
