Do my trees need to be trimmed?
Not sure if your trees need to be trimmed? Most Tampa tree trimming services will be more than pleased to come out to your property and assess your trees for free. They will let you know if a large branch over your power line is a possible threat or can be left alone. They can also give you a tree trimming cost estimate.
Should I trim my own trees?
Here is what we say as tree experts. You should only trim your own trees if:
- The branches are in an easily accessible place and are a manageable size.
- You have the necessary equipment like safety glasses, thick gloves, proper saws, extendable tools, and a long sleeve shirt.

There are three types of tree trimming:
- Standard pruning – Trimming big branches and a few little limbs
