Tree trimming in Cocoa
Tree trimming in Cocoa, FL
Cocoa's oaks grow fast and wide, and after a freeze or a storm season they carry a lot of deadwood. We lift limbs off the roof, clear the driveway and the lines to the house, thin the crown so wind moves through it, and clean up the palms while we are there.
Office hours Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Emergency and storm calls are prioritized ahead of routine work.

Six trims we do around Cocoa
What a trim in Cocoa usually means
Most calls are one of these. Many are two or three at once, which is why one visit with the lift usually covers the whole yard.
01Limbs on the roof
Oak limbs resting on shingles or scraping the gutter are cut back to a clean union so the roof has room.
02Uplift over the driveway
Low limbs over the driveway and sidewalk are raised so trucks, the mail carrier and you can get under them.
03Deadwood after a freeze
Cold fronts leave dead limbs scattered through the crown. They come out before they fall on their own.
04Crown thinning before storm season
A dense crown catches wind like a sail. Thinning lets it pass through without stripping the tree bare.
05Palms cleaned up
Dead fronds, seed pods and loose boots come off the palms in the same visit. The green crown stays full.
06HOA and commercial frontages
Street trees and parking lot trees get done on a schedule, so nothing is hanging over a car or a sign.
How it goes
A trim from the lift, start to finish
Walk the yard together
We look at every tree you want done and agree on what comes off and what stays. Then you get a free estimate.
Set the lift
The boom sets up in the driveway or on the lawn edge and reaches the crown from there. Nobody climbs deadwood.
Cut to a clean union
Cuts go back to a branch or the trunk collar, not halfway along a limb. That is what keeps the tree healthy after.
Palms and small stuff
Palms, low limbs and anything over the driveway get done in the same visit.
Chip and haul
Limbs go through the chipper and the chips leave with us, unless you want them for your beds.
When we get there
What you will see on the day
A lift, a chipper and a truck
Everything sets up from the street or the driveway.
A tree that still looks like a tree
No lion-tailing, no topping. The crown is lighter, not stripped.
A clean yard
Limbs chipped, the lawn raked where we worked.
The equipment
The machines behind a Cocoa trim
62ft Imer boom lift
- On the job
- Puts the saw at the top of the tree without anyone climbing it.
- Why it matters
- Dead, split or storm-loosened wood is not climbed. The lift reaches over roofs, cages and fences from the driveway.
Grapple truck
- On the job
- Lifts trunk sections and whole crowns off whatever they landed on and swings them straight into the truck.
- Why it matters
- The debris leaves with us the same visit, so there is no pile at the curb and nothing to burn.
Giant mini loader
- On the job
- Carries wood and brush out through a side gate or across a lawn on tracks.
- Why it matters
- It fits where a truck cannot and spreads its weight, which is what keeps turf and pavers whole.

Tree trimming in Cocoa questions
Something not here? Call 321-504-1054 during office hours or book a free estimate.
How much does tree trimming cost in Cocoa?
It depends on the size and number of trees, how much comes off and how we reach them. Several trees in one visit cost less each than one at a time. Every job gets a free estimate first.
When is the best time to trim trees in Cocoa?
Before storm season is the usual answer, so late winter through spring. Dead or hanging limbs should come off whenever you see them.
Do you top trees?
No. Topping leaves stubs that rot and sprout weak regrowth. We cut back to a union and thin the crown instead.
Can you trim limbs near power lines?
Limbs near the service line to your house, yes, with care. Anything touching the main lines on the street is FPL's to clear. Call them first.
Do you trim palms too?
Yes. Dead fronds, seed pods and loose boots come off in the same visit. We leave the green crown full.
Do you clean up after?
Yes. Limbs are chipped and hauled, unless you want the chips for your beds.
Do you trim for HOAs and businesses in Cocoa?
Yes. Street trees, entrances and parking lots, on a schedule or as a one-time visit.
