"I’m very pleased with the professional work by a licensed, certified arborist from Florida Foliage of Central Florida. We have an oak tree and a magnolia out front, an overgrown hedge on the side, and a huge magnolia in back. All are about 12 years old and have never been trimmed. These guys know their stuff, and the work was completed quickly. They have a truck with a claw that will come and pick up the pile of branches and leaves in the pile next to the street. Thank You!"

"TLR Tree Service recently came to my home to trim a very large and overgrown tree. The young man representing the company was extremely polite and professional throughout the entire process. They did an excellent job at a very fair price, and I was impressed with their attention to detail. What really stood out to me was how clean they left my yard afterward - it was absolutely immaculate when they finished. You could hardly tell they had been there, except for the beautifully trimmed tree! I would highly recommend TLR Tree Service to anyone needing tree work. Their combination of quality workmanship, fair pricing, and professional service makes them a top choice. I'll definitely be calling them again for any future tree service needs."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.
