Questions About Tree Work & Landscaping

Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every six months to a year, depending on species, health, growth rate and hurricane exposure. Palms and anything growing into a roof, screen or service line usually need attention more often. See how we approach tree trimming.

We treat trimming as clearance, shaping and appearance work, and pruning as cuts made for the health and structure of the tree — removing dead, diseased, crossing or weakly attached limbs.

When it's dead, structurally failing, hollow at the base, leaning after a storm with soil movement, or growing somewhere it can never stay. Healthy trees that are simply overgrown can usually be trimmed or reduced instead. More on tree removal.

Thinning at the top of the canopy, smaller or paler leaves than the same species nearby, dead branch tips, mushrooms or soft wood at the base, cracks in a main union, or soil lifting on one side of the trunk.

Many trees can be successfully transplanted when they are moved correctly. We evaluate each tree individually — species, size, root condition, equipment access and the new planting site — to decide whether relocation is the right solution. Details on tree relocation.
