Are there specific rules for removing mangroves or other protected species in Tampa?

Mangroves are a protected species in Tampa and across the state of Florida. They cannot be removed without state approval. If a mangrove is under 10 feet tall, homeowners may prune to six feet, but no lower. For mangroves 10 feet or taller, pruning must be done by a Professional Mangrove Trimmer. Ask your arborist for additional Mangrove protocols.

What kind of equipment do you use for large tree removals in Tampa, Florida?

We regularly assess and modernize our fleet to handle any job in and around Tampa. The tree's size, location, and condition determine the equipment used. Our resources include chippers, trucks, log loaders, aerial lifts, and partnerships with crane services for challenging or inaccessible tree removals.

How do I know if my palm tree is diseased and needs removal?

If you live in or around Tampa, two clear warning signs indicate your palm tree may need removal: a brown leaf spear, which means the tree cannot survive, or mushrooms and conk at the base—which indicates fatal Ganoderma disease. While other issues like lethal bronzing can also affect palms, it's best to have a local arborist assess the situation before taking action.

What’s the best way to prepare trees for Tampa Florida's hurricane season?

To prepare trees for Tampa Florida aggressive hurricane season, avoid overwatering to keep roots strong. An arborist can assess trees for dead or diseased branches and perform proactive pruning to reduce branch weight. Our plant health care program promotes root growth and overall tree health, boosting resilience to high winds and heavy rain.

What is the best time of year to prepare for the Tampa Florida hurricane season?

The best times to prepare for Tampa's hurricane season are late winter and early spring. Homeowners who start early are better protected. Reach out to SavATree today and learn how we can help.
