A lot of trees don't need to come down. They need the right limbs taken off. We connect Lakeland homeowners with independent local companies that do tree trimming. We don't do the trimming ourselves.
After Hurricane Milton, Lakeland Electric reported more than 484 tree-related jobs (City of Lakeland Milton response). Damaged limbs in your own yard are a separate job from utility work. Hire a private company for those.
Don't trim near power lines yourself, and don't ask anyone without the right training to do it. Contact your electric utility about limbs on or near service lines.
Old laurel oaks can hide decay inside. UF/IFAS notes that even a small wound can result in a long decay column (UF/IFAS ST549). If a trimmer finds hollow wood, they may recommend a closer look or removal. Read the laurel oak guide. If a limb is already on the house, go to emergency tree removal.
Find out how much will be cut, whether debris is hauled away, and ask to see proof of license and insurance.
Call (863) 267-9528 or send your tree details through our contact page. It's free to request. An independent local company reviews your job and sets its own price; we don't do the work.
