Tree trimming is how you keep a tree healthy and keep it from becoming a problem. In Miramar, the trees grow fast and the canopy gets heavy, and a tree that is not thinned out will shed heavy limbs in the first storm that comes through. We trim and prune trees to take weight off, let air and light through the canopy, and remove the deadwood before it drops.
There is a real difference between trimming and butchering a tree. Topping a tree, cutting straight across the top, weakens it and sends up weak growth that breaks in wind. We do reduction pruning instead, cutting back to lateral branches so the tree keeps its natural shape and grows back strong. That matters in South Florida, where a poorly pruned tree is a hazard waiting for the next hurricane.
Deadwood removal is a big part of what we do. Dead limbs hang in the canopy and fall without warning, onto roofs, cars, screen enclosures, and people. We take that deadwood out first, then thin the live canopy to let wind blow through instead of catching it like a sail. A tree that wind can blow through is a tree that stays standing in a storm.
We also clear limbs off roofs, power lines, and fence lines. Branches that rub on a roof wear through shingles, and limbs over your house are the ones that do damage when they come down. We cut those back with enough clearance that they are not a problem again next year.
How we trim depends on the tree and the access. Small trees we climb or use a pole saw. Big trees we use a bucket truck or climb with ropes, depending on what the lot allows. Either way, we clean up and haul off every branch when we are done. Full cleanup is included.
