Lightning, Humidity & Hurricanes
Tampa Bay is the "Lightning Capital of North America." Our trees face unique stresses from salty air, sandy soil, and tropical storms. We specialize in structural pruning to help Live Oaks withstand hurricane-force winds and lightning protection systems for heritage trees.
Core Services
Palm Tree Care
We treat palms with respect. We remove seed pods and brown fronds only (9-to-3 clock positions). No climbing spikes, no "hurricane cuts." We treat nutrient deficiencies common in sandy soil.

Don't wait for the Watch. We thin canopies to reduce wind resistance ("wind-sail"), remove deadwood that could become projectiles, and install cable supports for weak limbs.
