Temple Crest is inside the City of Tampa, so a tree 5 inches or more across needs a removal permit unless it is a listed invasive, pruning needs a permit at 24 inches, and Grand Trees of 32 inches or more need public notice. Common jobs here are removing declining oaks and pines near homes, trimming limbs off roofs and grinding stumps.
Established north Tampa streets
Temple Crest's homes were built decades ago, and the oaks, pines and palms planted then now shade roofs, carports and fences. Many of those trees are reaching the age when deadwood and decay show up.
Our Tampa service office covers north Tampa with booked visits and same-day storm calls.
Several small jobs are often done in one visit here: an oak limb over the carport, a pine by the fence and an old stump in the back. Grouping them saves setup and hauling, and the crew plans the order so each tree comes down into open space.
Common Temple Crest jobs
Laurel oaks and older pines near houses are the usual removals, often in tight spaces between homes. Live oaks are usually kept with thinning and clearance pruning.
After removals, stumps are ground below grade so lawns and beds can be restored, and invasive trees along fences are cleared out.
