Get Your Trees Ready Before Hurricane Season
Most of the tree damage we clean up after a Central Florida storm started as a problem that could have been trimmed: a dead limb over the roof, a heavy branch over the driveway, a canopy too dense to let wind through. Storm preparation trimming deals with those before the season starts on June 1.
McCullough Tree Service's crews and ISA-certified arborists walk your property, point out the trees and limbs most likely to cause damage, and trim them safely.
What Storm Prep Trimming Covers
- Dead and broken limbs anywhere in the tree
- Branches over the roof, pool enclosure, driveway and power service line
- Crown thinning to let wind pass through dense canopies
- Weight reduction on long, heavy limbs
- Palm trimming: dead fronds and seed pods removed
Trees That May Need More Than a Trim
If a tree is leaning, decayed or cracked, trimming alone may not be enough. We'll recommend a risk assessment, cabling or removal when that's the safer choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I trim trees before hurricane season?
Spring, before June 1, is ideal. Booking early gets you on the schedule before the busy season.
Does trimming really prevent storm damage?
It removes the weak and dead wood most likely to break and lowers wind resistance, which reduces risk.
Should I cut my palms bare before a storm?
No. Over-trimmed palms are weaker. Remove only dead fronds and seed pods.
Can you check all the trees on my property?
Yes. We look at every tree near your home and tell you which ones need attention.
