 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duffy’s tree service took a 37 year old laurel oak out of my front yard and it was near two house and was huge.  They didn’t damage a thing and took it out fairly quickly.  His lift kept giving him problems or it would’ve been out a day sooner.  Price was average, I didn’t shop around but quote was where I guessed it would be.  They were all very nice, easy to work  with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Duffey Tree Care. On the initial assessment, they educated us about our trees - different types of Oak, Laurel and Live, and their health and the impact their overgrowth was having on other trees like our crape myrtles. The team was extremely communicative- both during the assessment and during the work (even caring about the impact branch removal would have on birds that visit the trees and bird feeders in our yard). Our large laurel oak in our front yard had deadwood removed, branches thinned and was cut back away from our roof. In our back yard, multiple live oaks were shaped in the same way and branches were moved away from our pool case. We also had a dead live oak removed. The team was very cognizant of all that we have in our yard, moving what needed to be moved during the work and putting it back. The cleanup was perfect.
To top it all off, on the night that the work was done, I received a text from my next-door neighbor (front oak tree has branches that go over his yard) that said, "Nice work on the tree."
Truly impressed.

Prepare Your Trees Before the Next Florida Storm

Florida’s heat, heavy rainfall, high winds, hurricanes, and year-round growing season put significant stress on mature trees. A weak branch over a roof, driveway, pool, or power line can become a much bigger problem when strong winds arrive.

Professional pruning before storm season helps reduce weak growth, remove deadwood, and address branches that may threaten your home. Our ISA Certified Arborists can inspect your trees to identify hidden decay, overgrown canopies, and root stability problems before they become emergency situations.

Florida Trees Need More Than Routine Trimming

Florida’s heat, heavy rainfall, high winds, hurricanes, and year-round growing season can put significant stress on mature trees.

Common problems include:

Dead or weak branches

Branches can break during storms and create serious risks around homes, vehicles, and walkways.

Hidden decay

A tree can look healthy from the outside while developing internal decay or structural weakness.

Overgrown canopies

Poorly maintained branches can interfere with roofs, driveways, power lines, and other structures.

Root and stability problems

Soil conditions, construction, storm damage, and root issues can affect a tree’s stability.

Our ISA Certified Arborists can inspect the tree and help you determine whether it needs pruning, monitoring, treatment, structural support, or removal.

Not Every Tree Needs to Be Removed

Tree removal should not always be the first answer.

Whenever it is safe and practical, our ISA Certified Arborists look for opportunities to preserve healthy mature trees through:

Structural pruning
Corrective pruning
Canopy management
Cabling and support
Disease management
Monitoring
Preventative maintenance

Healthy trees provide shade, curb appeal, environmental benefits, and lasting value to your property.

When removal is necessary, we’ll explain why and recommend the safest approach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Service

How much does tree removal cost in Brandon, FL?

Tree removal pricing depends on the tree’s size, species, condition, location, accessibility, proximity to structures or utility lines, and the equipment required. Storm and emergency removals may require additional safety measures.

Duffey Tree Care provides free verbal estimates so you understand the recommended work before moving forward.

When should a tree be removed?

Tree removal may be necessary when a tree has severe decay, major structural defects, unstable roots, storm damage, significant leaning, or other conditions that make it unsafe.

Our arborists evaluate the tree before recommending removal.

How often should trees be trimmed in Florida?

The appropriate pruning schedule depends on the tree species, age, condition, location, and growth rate. Regular professional pruning can help manage deadwood, weak branches, clearance, and canopy structure.

Do you provide emergency tree service?

Yes. Duffey Tree Care provides emergency response for storm-damaged and hazardous trees when fallen trees or damaged limbs create immediate property concerns.

Can you remove a tree without damaging my lawn?

We use specialized equipment and controlled rigging methods to minimize impact on lawns, landscaping, fencing, irrigation, and surrounding structures. Site access and tree location determine the safest approach.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Florida?

Permit requirements vary by location and tree type. Some properties and protected trees may require approval before removal. We can help you understand whether additional requirements apply to your project.

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Trimming generally focuses on appearance, clearance, and growth management, while pruning is performed with greater attention to tree health, structure, and removal of dead, damaged, diseased, or weak branches.
