Protecting Tampa
From The Storm.
We specialize in Hurricane Hardening for Laurel Oaks and legal Mangrove Trimming for waterfront properties.
Don't Cut Mangroves Yourself
Florida Law Warning: Mangroves are state-protected. Trimming them improperly (e.g., "topping" or cutting below 6ft) can result in fines from the DEP ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars per tree.
Our Solution: We are Professional Mangrove Trimmers (PMTs). We know the specific "Windowing" and "Hedging" techniques allowed by the 1996 Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act. We restore your view legally.

Lethal Bronzing Disease
A deadly bacterial disease is killing Palm trees across Hillsborough County (especially Date Palms and Queen Palms). Once a tree shows signs of "bronzing" (dead lower fronds), it dies quickly.
Prevention is Key: There is no cure once infected, but we can treat healthy nearby palms with antibiotic injections to prevent the spread. If your palm is dead, we remove it safely to stop the vector insects.

Tampa FAQ
Do I need a permit to cut down a Grand Oak in Tampa?
Yes. The City of Tampa strictly protects "Grand Oaks" (34+ inches trunk diameter). Removing one without a permit and a valid reason (dead/hazardous) incurs massive fines. We handle the assessment and permitting process for you.
When should I trim my trees for hurricane season?
Ideally, late spring (April/May) before the season starts in June. This gives the tree time to heal before storms arrive. However, dead limbs should be removed immediately at any time of year.
Do you remove moss from Oak trees?
Spanish moss generally doesn't hurt the tree, but excessive Ball Moss can shade out lower branches. We can manually remove heavy moss accumulation during pruning to improve aesthetics and airflow.
