Trimming that keeps trees healthy and homes safe
Good pruning makes a tree safer, healthier and better looking. Bad pruning, like "topping" a tree or stripping out the inner branches, weakens it and can lead to rot and more limbs breaking later. Our crews use proper pruning cuts to remove only what needs to go.
In Tallahassee, the most common reasons to trim are limbs hanging over the roof, branches rubbing the house, dead wood in big oaks, low limbs over driveways and sidewalks, and branches growing toward power lines.

The best time to trim in Tallahassee
Many trees can be pruned any time of year, and dead or dangerous limbs should be removed whenever you notice them. Late winter, before spring growth, is a great time for most shaping work. For storm protection, schedule trimming well before the peak of hurricane season in late summer and early fall.
Protecting Tallahassee's oaks
Live oaks are the signature tree of Tallahassee and can live for centuries. They respond well to light, regular pruning and poorly to heavy cutting. We remove deadwood and problem limbs while keeping the natural shape and canopy that make these trees so valuable to your property.

Tree Trimming FAQs
How often should trees be trimmed?
Most mature shade trees benefit from pruning every 3 to 5 years, and younger trees more often while they're developing structure. Dead or hazardous limbs should be removed as soon as you notice them.
Do you top trees?
No. Topping weakens trees and leads to decay and more breakage. We use proper pruning cuts that reduce size and weight while keeping the tree healthy.
Can you trim branches near power lines?
We can trim around service lines to your home in many cases. Branches touching main distribution lines must be handled by the utility or a line-clearance crew; we'll help you figure out who to call.
Will trimming help my trees survive a hurricane?
Removing dead wood and thinning dense canopies reduces how much a tree catches the wind and lowers the chance of large limbs breaking. It doesn't make a tree storm-proof, but it lowers the risk.
Do you clean up after trimming?
Yes. All branches are chipped or hauled away and your yard is raked clean.
We provide tree trimming throughout Tallahassee, including Killearn Estates, Killearn Lakes, Betton Hills, Midtown, Lafayette Park, SouthWood, Myers Park, Los Robles, Indianhead Acres, Waverly Hills and more. See all areas we serve.
