Riverview Florida Pruning and Trimming
The southeast portion of Hillsborough County, Florida, continues its rapid growth. Central to this growth is Riverview. The area including Riverview, Apollo Beach, Gibsonton, Ruskin and Sun City Center have come to be known as SouthShore. The river in the name Riverview is the Alifia River that runs through the town.
Despite the growth, Riverview remains a tree rich area. As such, the health of the trees is of great importance to maintain the area's natural beauty. Like most of Florida, it is subject to seasonal storms that include near daily thunderstorms during the spring and summer as well as the occasional impact of a tropical cyclone. This keeps our trees under constant threat. It is possible to mitigate that threat, and the risk posed to nearby property, by having routine maintenance performed on your trees by knowledgeable professionals.
Pruning and Trimming
At Mid Florida Tree Service, we are often contacted to help with pruning and trimming trees and shrubs. This not only maintains a pleasant appearance, but reduces potential threats from storms. A professional arborist familiar with Riverview Florida's range of native trees is the right choice to care for your trees. Riverview tree service may include:- Thinning branches. This allows more sunlight to reach the lawn & reduces the potential for wind damage.
- Trimming branch ends to reduce weight
- Ornamental shaping for hedges
- Reducing overall weight to prevent trunk splits or breaks
- Treatment against wood destroying organisms
- Root pruning to protect your concrete driveway and foundation
- Deep root fertilization so your fertilizer gets past your grass and can actually benefit your tree.
- Total tree removal, when needed. Usually a last resort
- Below grade stump grinding, for appearance and, more importantly, for safety
