Tree Trimming Services in Miami, FL

Common reasons for tree trimming in Miami are to remove dead branches, to improve form, and to reduce risk. Trees may also be pruned to increase light and air penetration to the inside of the tree’s crown or to the landscape below.  The amount of live tissue that should be removed depends on the tree’s size, species, and age, as well as the  tree trimming objectives. 

Tree Trimming for mature vs young. In most cases, mature trees are pruned as corrective or preventive measures.Younger trees tolerate the removal of a higher percentage of living tissue better than mature trees do. Generally, no more than 25% of the crown should be removed at once, and less for mature trees. The goal in training young trees is to establish a strong, central trunk with sturdy, well-spaced branches. This form mimics tree growth in forest settings where outward branching is limited by neighboring trees.
