Reduce Storm Risk and Improve Tree Health

Tree trimming and pruning services for residential and commercial properties in Port Charlotte, Florida and surrounding areas.

Limbs that scrape your roof during a storm, block your view of the street, or hang over power lines create problems that only get worse as the tree grows. In Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Newport or a surrounding area, where wind and rain test every tree throughout the year, regular trimming reduces breakage, improves clearance, and keeps your property safer. Jamison Tree Service Inc provides structural pruning designed to strengthen trees, remove hazards, and maintain the health of species common to Florida, including palms, oaks, and pines.


This service includes reducing overhanging limbs, thinning canopies to allow wind and light through, and cutting back branches that interfere with structures or utilities. You can schedule ongoing maintenance or arrange a one-time service to address specific concerns such as storm preparation or clearance issues. Every cut is made with species-appropriate techniques and safety standards that protect both the tree and your property.

What Proper Pruning Does for Your Trees

When you schedule trimming in Port Charlotte and the surrounding areas, the crew arrives with pole saws, chainsaws, rigging ropes, and climbing gear suited for the height and structure of your trees. They evaluate the canopy, identify limbs that need removal, and make cuts at the branch collar to promote healing and prevent disease. Larger limbs are lowered with ropes to avoid damage to plants, fences, or hardscapes below.


After trimming, you will notice better clearance over driveways and rooflines, more sunlight reaching your lawn and garden, and a canopy that holds up better in wind. Thinning also reduces the weight on major limbs, which lowers the chance of splitting during storms. You are left with a tree that looks cleaner, grows stronger, and poses less risk to your home and vehicles.


The crew hauls away all cut branches and green waste unless you want to keep material for mulch or firewood. They also inspect the tree for signs of disease, decay, or pest activity and let you know if additional care is needed. This service does not include fertilization, pest treatment, or cabling, but it does cover all aspects of structural and aesthetic pruning with attention to long-term tree health.

Most people ask these before scheduling

Homeowners and property managers often want to know when trimming should happen, how much can be removed safely, and whether certain trees require special techniques. These answers help you plan the right service and avoid mistakes that harm the tree.

What is the difference between trimming and pruning?
Trimming generally refers to cutting back overgrowth for clearance and appearance, while pruning focuses on improving tree structure and health. Jamison Tree Service Inc uses both techniques depending on your tree's needs.
How often should I have my trees trimmed?
You should trim most trees every one to three years depending on growth rate, species, and location. Faster-growing trees and those near structures may need more frequent attention.
When is the best time of year to trim trees in Port Charlotte?
Late winter and early spring are ideal for most species because trees are dormant and cuts heal faster. Storm preparation trimming is typically done before hurricane season starts in June.
How do you trim palm trees differently than other species?
You remove only dead or damaged fronds on palms and avoid cutting green fronds, which can weaken the tree. Over-pruning palms reduces their ability to produce food and leaves them vulnerable to disease.
What happens if a limb is too large to trim safely?
Large limbs are rigged with ropes and lowered in sections to prevent damage. If a limb poses a serious risk or the tree is structurally unsound, removal may be the safer option.
