Palm Tree Trimming & Tree Service in Clermont, FL

Tree & Palm Services for Central Florida Yards
Palm Tree Trimming & Frond Removal
Removal of dead, brown, and crossing fronds from Sabal palms, Queen palms, Robellini palms, and other species common in Clermont yards. We leave the healthy fronds — the ones doing photosynthesis — in place. Over-pruning palms is one of the most common ways homeowners accidentally stress their trees.
Hedge & Shrub Trimming
Shaping and trimming of hedges, Viburnum, Ixora, Podocarpus, and other shrub species in your Clermont landscape beds. We cut to shape, not just to reduce — maintaining natural form where that's appropriate and formal shapes where structure is the goal.
Tree Shaping & Canopy Management
Selective pruning of ornamental and shade trees to improve structure, remove crossing branches, and maintain clearance from structures. Crape myrtles, live oaks, and ornamental trees — shaped correctly, not topped.
Palm Replacement
Dead, diseased, or structurally compromised palms removed and replaced with a species suited to your yard's scale, sun, and soil. We advise on replacement selection so you're not replacing the same struggling palm in three years.
What "Done Right" Actually Looks Like
Trimming is one of those services that looks simple and gets abused constantly. Two things we will never do — and why:
No "Crape Murder"
Topping crape myrtles — hacking the main branches back to stubs — is a destructive practice that destroys the tree's natural structure and dramatically increases disease susceptibility. We only do selective pruning on crape myrtles.
No Over-Pruning Sabal Palms
Florida's state tree is routinely over-pruned, which stresses the trunk, slows growth, and weakens the palm's hurricane resistance. The "hurricane cut" that strips nearly all fronds is a myth — properly maintained palms survive storms better with a full, healthy canopy. We remove dead and damaged fronds only.
Hedge & Shrub Trimming in Your Monthly Plan
Regular hedge and shrub maintenance can be included as part of your monthly lawn care plan — keeping your landscape beds looking crisp on a schedule that matches Florida's growing season.
Same Crew, Every Visit
The crew that trims your hedges knows how you like them shaped. No re-explaining to a new face each time. Consistent results, visit after visit.
Clippings Removed
All trimmings are cleaned up and removed from your property. No piles left in beds. No clippings on the lawn or driveway.
Scheduled for the Season
Trimming frequency is matched to Florida's growing season — more during peak spring and summer growth, calibrated back as growth slows in winter. Everything bundled into one monthly price.

Landscape Design & Install
Replacing a dead palm is one thing. Redesigning the whole bed around it — with plants that fit the space — is how you get a yard that actually looks intentional.

Once or twice per year is typically sufficient for most Sabal and Queen palms. The right time to trim is when fronds have fully browned — green and yellowing fronds are still photosynthesizing and should be left in place. Over-trimming is one of the most common mistakes, particularly the "hurricane cut" that strips nearly all fronds and weakens the palm's structural integrity.
Crape murder is the practice of topping crape myrtles — cutting the main branches back to thick stubs. It's widespread in Florida but it's harmful: it destroys the tree's natural arching form, creates weak regrowth that breaks in storms, and dramatically increases susceptibility to aphids and disease. Proper crape myrtle care means selective pruning of thin, crossing, or inward-facing branches — never removing the primary structure.
Yes. Hedge and shrub trimming can be built into your monthly maintenance plan — scheduled on a frequency that matches your plants' growth rate during Florida's seasons. The advantage is one crew, one plan, one monthly price for your entire outdoor space instead of separate scheduling for each service.
Yes — full removal of dead or dying palms is part of our palm service. We'll assess whether a palm is actually dead or just stressed (sometimes stressed palms recover with correct care), advise on the right course, and if replacement is warranted, we can install a new palm species suited to the spot as part of our landscape design service.
