About us
A Gainesville Crew That Specializes in Trimming
Most tree companies treat pruning as a side job between removals. For us it is the job. We spend our days shaping, lifting and lightening the trees that make Gainesville streets shady.
Tree Trimming Gainesville Can Count On
A tree that’s pruned well rarely needs removing.
The big oaks over Gainesville homes took decades to grow. A few hours of thoughtful trimming every several years is usually all it takes to keep them safe and healthy over the house.
That’s why we built a company around pruning instead of chainsaw volume. We raise limbs off roofs with crown raising, lighten heavy oak ends through live oak trimming, and start young trees off right with structural pruning. When someone offers to top a tree, we explain why that backfires in our article on never topping a tree.

Gainesville Tree Pruning Standards We Keep
Six rules we don’t bend.
No topping
We shorten trees by cutting back to live side branches, never to bare stubs.
No spikes on keepers
A tree that’s staying gets climbed on rope or reached from a bucket, so the trunk isn’t punctured.
Restraint on live wood
We stay well under about a quarter of the live canopy per visit and spread big changes over years.
Green fronds stay
Palms lose their dead and yellow fronds and seed stalks, not the healthy crown.
Written before we climb
Which limbs, what it costs, and when we’ll be there, all on paper first.
Respect for the property
Ropes over roofs and screens, plywood on soft ground, and gates closed behind us.
Where Our Tree Trimming Crew Works
Gainesville first, then the towns nearby.
Our trucks cover all of Gainesville, from big southwest lots in Haile Plantation and Oakmont over to the historic oaks of Duckpond and the streets of University Park near campus. Outside the city we trim in Newberry, Alachua, High Springs and Archer.
