Tree Service
Pruning trees can be tricky. Practice is the only way to get good. You need a partner across the street to let you know how much to cut if you are new at it. Changing the shape of a tree is easy, but liking the results is another story. Look around your neighborhood for ideas of the result you would like. No one says you have to be original.
If you want to keep a tree from growing too big, cut it back every year. Another thing to remember is that trees create shade. Sometimes you want the shade, but if you want to thin a few branches out to let sun shine on the lower plants, that is acceptable too. Again, play around and enjoy yourself, or let us do it and enjoy the result of an affordable tree trimming service.
Tree Pruning is a service we provide frequently. We can prune all shrubs and trees as requested. Techniques vary by type. Some must be pruned to grow correctly, while others show most beautifully when left to nature. Let us know your goals and we will keep the plants in your area looking their best.
Tree removal is a whole different story. Cutting down and disposing of mature trees should be left to a professional who is licensed and insured. We are trained to cut trees properly and safely, including how to direct the branches fall in certain directions and avoid dangers. Plus power equipment and heights don’t mix well with the amateurs. Once the tree is cut to ground level, usually a stump remains. To complete the job, the stump is removed with a stump grinder, which actually cuts similar to a large circular saw. It is cut in several directions and shreds up the stump and the shavings that remain can be used to fill in flower beds or hauled away depending on preference. If you have a compost, the shavings are a great addition to that. Put organic materials in a compost pile, allow them to decompose and then add to flower beds to promote growth.
A last note on trees. Please respect them. They will often outlive you. They protect you and give back valuable oxygen and nutrients to the planet. They provide homes and sanctity to other creatures. Take care of them and take pleasure in them.
Expert Tree Services in Boca Raton
Trees are more than shade and scenery—they are a vital part of your landscape. Healthy trees enhance property value, provide cooling benefits, reduce erosion, and contribute to Boca Raton’s natural beauty. But the tropical climate, frequent storms, salt air, sandy soils, and high humidity also make tree care challenging. At Boca Lawn Care, our tree services are designed to protect your trees, your property, and your peace of mind.
What We Offer
-
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Pruning isn’t just about appearance—it’s about safety and health. We remove dead, damaged, diseased, or crossing branches that could fall during storms or degrade overall structure. Proper trimming improves airflow through the canopy, reduces disease risk, and helps sunlight reach lower branches and nearby landscape or turf. In Boca Raton, where wind, salt spray, and fast growth are real concerns, regular pruning is essential. -
Tree Removal & Safe Dismantling
Sometimes a tree must come down—due to disease, storm damage, structural weakness, or because it’s too close to structures or utility lines. Our removal methods are safe, efficient, and minimally disruptive to surrounding property. We also handle large, tricky removals with care to avoid damage, using proper equipment and trained arborists. -
Stump Grinding & Removal
After removal, stumps are unsightly and can harbor pests. Boca Lawn Care offers stump grinding to ground level or below, turning stumps into mulchable material and eliminating tripping hazards. We dispose of debris properly so you don’t have to worry about residual mess. -
Palm Tree Care
Palm trees are iconic in Boca Raton landscapes, but they require specific care. Our experts safely remove dead fronds, “boots,” and seeds, maintain healthy canopy balance, and remove palms when needed. We follow best practices so palm trimming does not harm the tree’s health or natural form. -
Emergency Tree & Storm Damage Response
Hurricanes, tropical storms, or sudden weather events can damage trees quickly—broken branches, leaning trunks, root damage. We provide emergency response to make your property safe, remove hazardous limbs, and offer cleanup and repair recommendations. Fast action helps prevent further damage from falling debris or disease. -
Tree Health Assessment & Maintenance
We don’t just cut—we care. Our certified arborists evaluate your trees’ health, checking for pests (e.g. fungal infections, root rot, insects), soil issues, salt damage, and structural problems. Then we recommend treatments, fertilization, and ongoing maintenance to keep trees strong, healthy, and long-lived. -
Cabling, Bracing & Structural Support
For trees with weak branches, split trunks, or leaning growth, structural supports can help. Proper cabling and bracing allow trees to better withstand high winds and heavy rainfall—especially valuable in hurricane season. We design support systems with sensitivity to canopy health and longevity.
Why Local Expertise Matters
-
Climate & Soil: Boca Raton’s sandy soils drain rapidly, often leaving trees stressed during dry spells. Salt air, heat, and high humidity introduce fungal and pest pressures that require knowledge and timing to treat properly.
-
Storm & Wind Impact: Trees must be prepared to withstand strong tropical storms and hurricane-force winds. Regular pruning, proper species selection, and structural support all help reduce risk.
-
Permit & Regulation Compliance: The City of Boca Raton has rules for protected trees, trimming near right-of-ways, or removal permits. We understand local codes and handle required permissions and inspections.
-
Safety & Equipment: Tree work can be dangerous, especially for large specimens near homes, power lines, or other structures. Our teams use certified arborists, proper safety gear, and the right equipment to do the job properly.
How It Works with Boca Lawn Care
