Root Pruning - An Alternative to Tree Removal in Tampa, Valrico, Plant City, Lakeland, and Everywhere in Between

Root pruning performed by a trained and certified arborist is an alternative to tree removal in the Tampa area. For example, a properly pruned tree can stop roots from continuing to lift and crack driveways and sidewalks rather than removing the tree. And instead of removing trees from a construction site, roots pruned beforehand can save them from irreversible damage. At Payne’s Environmental, we believe in the importance of pruning tree roots for the preservation of any tree in close proximity to a building project or any other task that may have a negative impact on the life of the tree. Only when root pruning is not an option should tree removal for Tampa residences and construction zones be considered.   

Whether you are putting in a new pool in your Ruskin backyard or you are responsible for the construction of a new Apollo Beach condominium community, professional root pruning is the environmentally responsible choice. Rather than opting for tree removal for Tampa area projects , which involves cutting down, hauling,  and grinding or excavating the stumps of existing trees - just to plant new trees required by law - carefully pruning tree roots, using specialized equipment and installing a silt fence or Biobarrier®  in the ground can protect and preserve existing trees. Pruning and isolating tree root systems at the drip line, or branch circumference, saves the tree from the stress and often life-threatening effects that the repeated hacking and ripping of far-reaching feeder roots by construction machines can cause.

Our staff is highly trained and always adheres to OSHA and ANSI A300 guidelines. We even have a certified arborist on staff (FL6027A). All our tree pruning machine operators are trained and certified, and we always use the top pruning machines in the industry from state-approved manufacturers, like Vermeer.
