STILL NOT SURE?

Tree Trimming & Pruning FAQs

How often should I trim my trees?

Most trees benefit from annual pruning, but some species only require trimming every 2-3 years. Our arborists can assess your trees and recommend the best trimming schedule.

What happens if I don’t trim my trees?

Untrimmed trees can develop weak limbs, become overgrown, and pose safety risks, especially during storms. Regular trimming helps improve tree health and prevent property damage.

What’s the best time of year for tree trimming?

• Winter: Best for most trees while they are dormant.

• Summer: Ideal for hurricane preparation and palm tree maintenance.

• Spring & Fall: Good for light shaping and maintenance pruning.

Tree Removal FAQs

When should a tree be removed?

You may need tree removal if:

✔ The tree is dead, diseased, or decaying

✔ It’s leaning dangerously near your home or power lines

✔ The roots are damaging sidewalks or foundations

Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

Tree removal regulations vary by location. Our team handles permits and ensures all removals comply with local laws.

Can you remove trees near power lines or structures?

Yes! Our trained arborists use specialized equipment to safely remove trees in tight or hazardous locations.

Stump Grinding & Removal FAQs

Should I remove a tree stump?

Leaving a stump can:

✔ Attract pests like termites and ants

✔ Cause tripping hazards

✔ Lead to regrowth of unwanted shoots

How long does stump grinding take?

Most stumps can be fully ground down in under an hour, depending on size.

Will the stump be completely removed?

Our stump grinding service removes the stump below ground level, allowing you to replant, landscape, or install sod.

Land Clearing FAQs

Why is professional land clearing important?

Professional land clearing ensures:

✔ Safe removal of trees, brush, and debris

Hurricane Preparation FAQs

How can I protect my trees before hurricane season?

Sod Installation & Lawn Care FAQs

How long does sod take to root?

Sod takes 2-3 weeks to fully establish. Watering daily for the first two weeks is essential.
