Most trees in Southwest Florida benefit from trimming every one to three years, depending on species and growth. Fast-growing and storm-prone trees should be checked yearly. We can recommend a schedule during a free assessment.

Many trees are best pruned in late winter or early spring, but dead, broken, or hazardous limbs should be removed any time. Pre-hurricane-season trimming is strongly recommended to reduce storm damage.

Yes. Thinning the canopy and removing weak limbs lets wind pass through and greatly reduces the chance of failure during a storm. Proper structural pruning is one of the best ways to protect your home.

Yes. Pre-season trimming is one of the most effective ways to protect your home during hurricane season. We serve Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and all of Southwest Florida and recommend scheduling a canopy thinning and hazard-limb inspection before the season begins.

We prune palms by removing dead and brown fronds while leaving green ones intact. Over-trimming palms is a common mistake that stresses the tree. We follow proper pruning standards to keep your palms healthy through Southwest Florida's heat and storm season.

For this service, Davie Tree Service focuses on properties over 3 acres, including private estates, ranches, homesteads, wooded acreage, and overgrown rural parcels. The actual work area may be one priority zone or several acres. A property walkthrough helps define what needs attention first and whether a multi-day scope makes sense.

Large properties are commonly quoted by the day and booked in multi-day blocks, often two or three consecutive days. The scope still identifies the trees, land areas, access work, stump needs, and debris plan. Day-based scheduling gives the owner a committed block for the property instead of several disconnected visits.

There is no honest day count without seeing the property. Ten acres of open brush is different from ten wooded acres with mature trees, invasives, wet ground, limited gates, structures, and full haul-off. Davie estimates the work after a walkthrough and explains the factors that determine the number of day blocks.

Davie Tree Service handles large estate and acreage work within about 40 miles of Fort Myers, Florida. That can include rural areas and communities such as Alva, Buckingham, Nalle Grade, North Fort Myers, Olga, Fort Myers Shores, Estero, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, Naples, Corkscrew, and Golden Gate Estates. Confirm the address before scheduling.

Yes, the work can be planned around an owner who is away when the property has clear access instructions, a confirmed scope, and a reachable contact for questions. Photos and written documentation help show what was completed. The owner should identify gates, utilities, septic areas, wells, livestock, preservation areas, and the agreed debris location before work begins.

Debris can be chipped in place for trails and beds, consolidated in an agreed back area, or hauled away. Chipped material can remain as mulch when that fits the property plan. Full haul-off may suit a building site, pasture, driveway, or area that needs a clean handoff. Stumps and root mass should be included separately if grade-ready ground is needed.

Equipment can affect turf, shell or paver drives, pasture, and soft ground if access is not planned. Davie reviews gates, travel routes, staging, ground conditions, septic areas, wells, irrigation, fencing, and structures before machines move. Equipment is matched to the workable route, and the owner can identify areas that must be protected or avoided.

Mark known irrigation lines, septic drainfields, well heads, buried propane, and utilities during the walkthrough. Areas that may contain buried services need owner information, utility locates, or other confirmation before equipment moves. Davie uses that access plan to keep machines and staging away from sensitive areas while still reaching the agreed work zones.

Requirements vary by parcel and jurisdiction, and they can involve preserves, conservation easements, wetland setbacks, protected species, HOA guidelines, or other site-specific considerations. Davie identifies what needs checking and helps coordinate the process before work begins. Confirm current requirements with the appropriate local authority or project professional rather than assuming a rule applies.

Land clearing reclaims a defined area for a use such as a barn, pasture, fence, driveway, or future building site and may include brush, invasives, stumps, roots, debris, and rough grading. Selective tree clearing removes chosen vegetation while preserving desired trees and canopy. The walkthrough defines what stays and what the land needs to become.

A hurricane-risk review looks at tree condition, weak or dead limbs, lean, species, proximity, and what a falling tree could reach. On acreage that includes homes, guest houses, barns, generators, wells, power drops, fences, and private drives. Pre-season work can reduce avoidable exposure, but no trimming makes a property hurricane-proof.

Davie Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency and storm response, but a specific arrival time should not be promised without knowing current conditions. After a storm, the priority is to make the route safe and passable while addressing trees or limbs that threaten people and structures. Existing property plans can help the crew understand a long private drive more quickly.

A multi-day property scope can combine trimming, removal, selective tree clearing, land clearing, stump grinding, and debris handling when the site and equipment plan allow it. The work is sequenced so access opens first, trees and brush are handled safely, protected areas remain intact, and the finish matches the owner's next use for the land.

These invasive or fast-spreading species need more than a quick cut because regrowth and remaining root mass can reclaim a cleared area. Davie identifies the stands, includes their removal in the property scope, and plans how the material is chipped, consolidated, or hauled. Air potato vine and Old World climbing fern may also need attention on neglected acreage.
