Tree Trimming in Orlando, FL

Selective Pruning for Stronger Structure

Our ISA-guided trims follow ANSI A300—clean collars, no flush cuts, and no lion-tailing. The goal is long-term structure, not short-term thinness.

Cuts we use (and avoid)

• Reduction cuts to lighten tips without leaving stubs.
• Removal cuts to clear dead, crossing, and competing branches.
• Avoid: topping, flush cuts, and over-thinning that weaken crowns.

Roof, Driveway & Screen Clearance

We open space where it matters and preserve shade where you want it.

Typical clearances we target

• Rooflines: ~6–10 ft separation (species/exposure dependent).
• Drives/walks: ~8–12 ft headroom for vehicles and deliveries.
• Pool screens: abrasion-free reductions—no “poodle-cut” palms.

Palm Care (No Hurricane Cuts)

Timing & aftercare

• Frequency: 1–2 trims/year; remove brown fronds and seed pods only.
• Safety: pod removal reduces slip hazards on pavers around pools.
• Health: keep green fronds—over-thinning stresses palms.

Orlando Species & Neighborhood Nuance

• Live oak: reduce overextended tips; retain lower scaffold strength.
• Laurel oak: correct old topping stubs with staged structural work.
• Magnolia: light interior cleaning; preserve natural form.
• Crape myrtle: proper heading/thinning—no flat tops.

Case Study: Clearance & Balance in College Park

A 1930s bungalow near Edgewater Drive had oak limbs brushing the roof and a dark interior. We lifted canopy lines, reduced end-weight on two overextended secondaries, and removed crossing/deadwood without lion-tailing.

• Goal: clear roofline and improve daylight while keeping shade.
• Cuts: collar-respecting reductions and interior cleaning.
• Outcome: brighter rooms, better airflow, no “topped” look.
