In Casselberry, most trimming calls are about laurel oaks and camphors that have grown down onto the roof, the driveway or the street, often with old stub cuts from earlier trims. The fix isn’t to cut the tree back hard. It’s to raise and reduce the right limbs, clean out what’s dead, and leave the tree full enough to stay strong.
You get a written scope with the clearances we’ll set before anything is scheduled. Is a tree past saving? See tree removal in Casselberry, or go back to our Casselberry tree service page.
What a good trim does
- Clears the house. Limbs raised and reduced off the roof, gutters, lanai and pool enclosure, so they stop scraping and dropping debris.
- Clears the drive and street. Low limbs lifted over the driveway, sidewalk and road so cars, trucks and pedestrians pass underneath.
- Lowers storm risk. Dead, cracked and poorly attached limbs removed before hurricane season. No tree is storm-proof, but the obvious hazards are gone.
- Keeps the tree healthy. Proper cuts at the branch collar and no topping or lion-tailing, which weaken trees and invite decay.

- Camphor limbs over the roof
A low camphor limb and several others were growing over the roof. We removed the low limb, cut back the rest for about 10 ft of roof clearance, and cleaned deadwood and suckers out of both backyard camphors.
- Two oaks, a rain tree and a camphor off the house
From the lift we pruned two front oaks all the way around, cut a rain tree lead back to the fence line, and raised a camphor’s tips 2–3 ft off the roof.
- Three laurel oaks raised and balanced
Old stub cuts, downward-growing limbs and branches on the roof were taken out from the lift, and each canopy was raised, balanced and cleaned of deadwood 2 inches and larger.
- Live oak over the fence
A backyard live oak got a medium prune and thin from the lift, and a stub-cut bottom limb hanging over the fence came out. Three crape myrtles were pruned the way the owner wanted.
- Front oak and magnolia raised
A laurel oak at the front corner had limbs dropping over the roof, drive and road. We raised and balanced it and lightly raised the magnolia beside it.
- “Less is best” oak pruning
Large deadwood came out of a front oak, limbs over the drive and house were raised lightly with selective weight reduction, and three cherry laurels were lifted off the roof, with no big limbs removed.
What’s included
- Clearance pruning: roof, lanai, driveway, sidewalk and street clearances set for each tree.
- Deadwood removal: dead limbs, usually 2 inches and larger, taken out of the canopy.
- Structural pruning: weak or crossing limbs reduced and end-weight lightened where it helps, without over-thinning.
- Moss and vines: heavy Spanish moss lightened and vines pulled out of the canopy on request.
- Palms: seed pods and dead or hanging fronds removed, trimmed to the look you want.
Trees we trim most here
- Live oaks: a light structural and clearance prune every 2–3 years.
- Laurel and water oaks: checked more often. They’re shorter-lived and prone to decay, so we look at old wounds and the base.
- Camphors: kept off the roof, the screen room and the fence; they grow fast.
- Palms: queen, Bismarck and sabal palms cleaned of seed pods and low fronds.

Casselberry tree trimming FAQs
Do I need a permit to trim trees in Casselberry?
Routine pruning done to industry standards usually doesn’t need a permit, but Casselberry, Seminole County and HOA rules can differ, especially for trees in a public right-of-way. We’ll check at the estimate, and our crews prune to ANSI A300 standards.
How often should oaks be trimmed?
Mature live oaks often do well on a 2–3 year pruning cycle. Laurel and water oaks, which are shorter-lived and more prone to decay, and any tree hanging over a roof may need a look more often.
Can you fix old bad cuts from a previous trim?
Often, yes. We clean up stubs and poorly placed cuts back to proper branch collars and leave the rest of the canopy alone so the tree can recover.
Do you trim palms?
Yes. We remove seed pods and dead or hanging fronds and trim palms to the look you want, without cutting into the trunk.
What’s included in your cleanup?
Brush is chipped and hauled away, limbs and wood are removed, and hard surfaces are raked and blown.
Are you insured?
Yes. Kevin’s Tree Service carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.
