Trimming that keeps trees healthy - and off your roof

Good pruning isn't just cosmetic. Removing deadwood, thinning a dense canopy and raising low limbs reduces wind resistance, keeps branches off your roof and power lines, lets light reach your lawn, and helps the tree stay structurally sound through storm season. Bad pruning - topping, over-lifting or "hurricane cutting" a tree to a stub - does the opposite and can kill a healthy tree. We prune to ANSI A300 standards, which means the tree looks natural and stays strong. If you are unsure whether a tree needs pruning, or someone has suggested topping or hat-racking it, a certified arborist consultation can settle it before anyone makes a cut.

What we trim

Shade trees - live oak, black olive, mahogany, ficus, gumbo limbo and more.
Palms - see our palm trimming service for proper skinning and frond removal.
Canopy thinning & raising - better light, airflow and clearance over roofs, driveways and pools.
Deadwooding - removing dead and hanging limbs before they fall.
Hurricane prep - wind-thinning ahead of storm season so trees flex instead of failing.

Tree cleaning and crown cleaning

"Tree cleaning" can mean two things, and both are covered here. Crown cleaning is a pruning method: a selective trim that removes dead, diseased, dying, broken, crossing and rubbing limbs, plus hanging branches and debris stuck in the canopy. It does not change the tree's size or shape. If you searched for a tree cleaning service because limbs are already down after a storm, see our storm and emergency tree service.

Crown cleaning is different from the other cuts on this page:

Cleaning - takes out the dead, diseased, broken, crossing and hanging wood. The tree keeps its shape.
Thinning - removes selected live branches to open up a dense canopy so light and wind pass through.
Raising - removes the lowest limbs for clearance over roofs, driveways, sidewalks and pools.
Reduction - shortens a limb or the whole crown by cutting back to a suitable side branch, to cut height or spread.

Hat-racking is not cleaning. Topping a tree, cutting limbs to bare stubs, removes healthy living wood, leaves wounds that struggle to close, and forces a flush of weak, fast-growing shoots that break easily in wind. Real crown cleaning takes out the problem wood and leaves the healthy structure alone. If someone has quoted you a topping or a heavy "hurricane cut", get a second opinion first.

Common questions

How often should trees be trimmed in South Florida?

Most shade trees benefit from a trim every 1–3 years, and fast growers or trees near a roof may need it yearly. Palms are usually done once a year. We can set you up on a schedule or just come when it's needed.

Is "hurricane cutting" a tree a good idea?

No - severe over-thinning or topping (sometimes sold as "hurricane cuts") stresses the tree, forces weak regrowth and can actually make it more dangerous. Proper structural pruning and wind-thinning is what actually helps a tree survive storms, and it's what we do.

Do you trim near power lines?

We trim around service lines to your home. For the primary high-voltage lines along the street, that's the utility's responsibility - but we'll tell you who to call and work safely around everything on your property.

Do I need a permit just to trim?

Usually not for normal pruning, but some Broward cities restrict how much can be cut from protected trees. We prune to standard so you stay compliant, and we'll flag anything that needs city sign-off.

What is crown cleaning on a tree?

Crown cleaning is a pruning method that removes dead, diseased, broken, crossing and hanging limbs from the canopy without changing the tree's overall size or shape. It is a good fit for older trees, trees that have dropped limbs, and trees going into storm season.

What does a tree cleaning service include?

A tree cleaning service usually means crown cleaning, removing deadwood and hanging limbs from the canopy, plus hauling away the debris. If you mean cleaning up limbs that have already fallen, we do that too. Tell us which you need when you call (954) 754-6673.
