Tree Trimming and Pruning Services We Provide
We combine a variety of tree trimming and pruning services to keep your trees healthy and looking their best. Trees are a vital part of our environment, and it’s our responsibility to take good care of them. This is why we provide a full range of affordable tree care services for all kinds of trees in the Jacksonville, FL & surrounding areas.
Tree Pruning
Pruning is one of the most important things you can do for your trees. Our arborists remove dead, cracked, or diseased branches from the canopy to stop decay from spreading and to keep branches from falling unexpectedly. By cleaning out problem areas, we help your trees direct energy toward healthy growth, making them stronger and longer-lived.
Tree Trimming
Proper trimming is about more than just cutting branches. We carefully thin and shape the canopy so that sunlight can reach lower branches and your lawn below. This improves airflow, reduces the chance of storm damage, and keeps the tree balanced. We never “lion-tail” or over-thin your tree, which can leave it stressed and unsafe. Our goal is to keep the tree strong while improving its appearance.
Canopy Elevation
Low-hanging limbs can block walkways, scratch cars, damage roofs, or block views. Our canopy elevation service carefully removes lower branches to provide proper clearance while preserving the tree’s natural shape. This makes your property safer and more usable, especially for driveways, signage, and pedestrian areas.
Structural Pruning
For younger trees, structural pruning is critical. We strategically guide branch spacing, attachment points, and growth direction so the tree grows with a strong, stable structure. This prevents problems years down the road, such as weak branch unions, breakage, or costly removals. Structural pruning is a long-term investment in your tree’s future.
Palm Tree Trimming
Palm trees require a completely different approach than hardwoods. We trim away dead or dying fronds, remove heavy seed pods, and eliminate hazards before they can fall. Proper palm trimming and care not only improves appearance but also prevents pests, reduces risk to people and property, and helps palms stay healthy through the Florida heat and storms.
The Benefits of Professional Tree Trimming and Pruning
Routine trimming and pruning are some of the best investments you can make for the safety and health of your trees.
- Reduce Hazards: By removing dead, cracked, or overextended branches, we lower the risk of falling limbs that could damage your home, vehicles, or power lines.
- Promote Healthier Growth: Selectively thinning the canopy improves air circulation and allows more sunlight to reach the remaining branches. This encourages stronger growth and helps trees resist pests and disease.
- Protect Your Landscape: Properly pruned trees are less likely to suffer major damage during Jacksonville’s storm season, which means fewer emergency calls and cleanup costs.
- Enhance Appearance: Well-trimmed trees and palms frame your property beautifully, improving curb appeal and property value.

Our Tree Trimming Work Process
We study the specific needs of our clients and suggest work accordingly. However, here are some standard steps that we follow:
- Evaluation & Estimate: To provide an accurate estimate, we meet with the client to gain knowledge of their concerns, inspect the trees, and gain knowledge of any site concerns/obstacles. This is a good time to request certificates of insurance (All COI’s are required to come directly from the insurance agent. This is for your protection).
- Scheduling: All work is scheduled based on logistics, crew & equipment required, and in consideration of the convenience for the clients.
- Work: We send out a crew of professional arborists and equipment to handle your tree care needs. Our employees will be in uniform and professional at all times. We use specialized equipment that is properly maintained, cleaned, and inspected for our safety and yours. A “pre-work” walk around with the client is preferred so all expectations are conveyed. All work will be done safely and efficiently with our workers safety and the preservation of your property as our highest priority. You can expect a first-class clean up, ensuring we leave no mess behind. At the end of the job, if the client is available, our foreman or manager will go over the work that was performed.
Billing: Upon completion to your satisfaction, invoices will be emailed (or mailed if required) with a link to online payments as well as instructions for other payment options. No tree service should require money before the job is completed.

Tips on How to Maintain Your Trees:
Taking care of your trees between professional visits helps them stay safe, strong, and attractive. Follow these expert tips:
- Schedule Annual Evaluations: Have an ISA Certified Arborist inspect your trees once a year and after major storms to catch problems early.
- Protect the Roots: Avoid digging, trenching, or heavy construction near the root zone. Damaged roots can take years to recover and may lead to tree decline or failure.
- Stick to Routine Maintenance: Remove dead branches and selectively thin live ones to improve tree structure, airflow, and overall health.
- Monitor After Storms: Check for cracked or hanging limbs after high winds or heavy rain and call a professional if you see damage.
- Mulch Properly: Add a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base (but not against the trunk) to help retain moisture and protect roots.
- Water During Dry Spells: Deep watering during drought conditions keeps trees resilient and reduces stress.
When to Call a Professional
Even with regular maintenance, some issues need an expert’s attention right away. Contact Bushor’s Tree Surgeons if you notice:
- A tree leaning more than usual or roots starting to lift from the soil

- Dead or hanging branches over your home, driveway, or power lines
- Palms with heavy or decaying fronds ready to fall
- Mushrooms or fungus growing around the base of your tree (a sign of internal decay)
- Trees damaged by storms, lightning, or high winds
