Dunedin Tree Trimming, Removal and Storm Prep

Older homes near downtown

The blocks around Main Street and the Pinellas Trail are full of mature live oaks draped in Spanish moss, many planted long before the houses were remodeled or expanded. Their limbs reach over roofs, porches and garages, and the lots leave little room to work. Careful pruning keeps these trees healthy and clear of the house without stripping the canopy that gives these streets their character.

Waterfront along St. Joseph Sound

Homes on the water side of town, out toward Honeymoon and Caladesi islands, take wind and salt straight off the Gulf. Palms do well here, but oaks and pines can lean or lose roots in soft, wet soil after repeated storms.

Newer subdivisions inland

East of Alt US-19 the lots get a little wider, and the typical call is a pine or oak that has grown too close to the house or into the power service line.

1. Free estimate: we walk the yard with you, look at the tree's lean, decay and target zone, and talk about trimming versus removal.
2. Access plan: we decide whether the bucket truck can reach from the street or whether a climber needs to rope pieces down over fences and pool cages.
3. The work: limbs come down in controlled sections. For a full tree removal, the trunk is lowered last.
4. Cleanup: wood and brush go into the dump trailer, and stump grinding can be done the same visit if you choose.

Dunedin's location on the Gulf side of the county means a storm doesn't have to make landfall nearby to cause damage. Dead limbs, heavy end weight and trees already leaning toward a house are the main things we look for during a pre-season visit. Palms should have dead fronds and seed stalks removed, but not be stripped down to a few green fronds, which weakens them. If a storm does bring trees down, we handle cutting, removal and debris removal so your property is safe to use again.
