Pruning is a great way to keep your trees healthy and looking their best, especially in Sanford, where lush landscaping adds major curb appeal. But like most things, too much of a good thing can backfire. Besides ruining their appearance, overpruning your trees can lead to long-term damage or even death. So, how do you know when you’ve gone too far with the clippers? We explain the signs below. When you need a professional arborist in Sanford, FL, or the surrounding areas, call A Sun State Tree. Sparse or Bare Branches One of the first signs of overpruning is a tree that looks unusually bare or thin. If you’ve removed too much foliage, the tree may not be able to produce enough food through photosynthesis. This can stress the tree and stunt its growth, especially during Sanford’s hot and often humid growing seasons. Sunscald or Bark Damage In Florida’s strong sunlight, tree bark can suffer from sunscald when too many branches are cut back. Leaves provide natural shade and insulation. Without them, the bark is left exposed to intense heat, leading to cracks, peeling, or lesions, especially on younger trees or species that aren’t sun-hardy. Weak or Unbalanced Growth If your tree starts growing in strange directions or producing weak, spindly limbs after a pruning session, it might be compensating for the lost branches. Overpruned trees sometimes send out “sucker” shoots, which are fast-growing but fragile branches that can make the tree structurally unsound over time. Increased Pest and Disease Problems Heavy pruning creates open wounds that are prime targets for pests and fungal infections. In humid areas, this is a real concern. If you notice sudden infestations or fungal growth on your tree post-pruning, it could be because it was cut back too aggressively. What to Do Next If you think you’ve overpruned your tree, don’t panic, but do act. Consult with a certified arborist who understands Central Florida’s tree species and climate. They can help assess the damage and guide your tree back to health. Professional Tree Pruning in Sanford, FL Tailored to the unique needs of each tree species, our tree pruning services focus on precision and expertise. We strategically remove diseased, damaged, or weak branches, fostering a healthier environment for your trees to thrive. Our Florida tree pruning techniques aim to improve air circulation, sunlight penetration, and overall tree structure, contributing to the vitality and resilience of your landscape.

Tree removal isn't always as simple as grabbing a chainsaw and getting to work, especially when it comes to large, old, or dangerously placed trees. That’s where crane-assisted tree removal comes in. It's the go-to method when traditional techniques just won’t cut it. When you need a tree removed in Sanford, FL, or the surrounding areas, call A Sun State Tree. Tight Spaces and Limited Access In urban or residential areas where homes, fences, power lines, or landscaping box in a tree, there's often no safe way to fell it in one piece. Using a crane allows professionals to lift the tree out in sections without causing damage to the surrounding property. Oversized Trees When a tree is especially massive, such as towering oaks or thick-trunked pines, removing it by hand becomes incredibly risky. The sheer weight and height make it nearly impossible to take down safely without heavy-duty assistance. A crane helps lift large limbs and trunk sections directly away from the site, minimizing the chance of uncontrolled falls. Storm Damage or Hazardous Leaning If a tree has been damaged in a storm or is leaning dangerously toward a structure, time is of the essence. A crane can quickly and safely stabilize and remove the tree before it falls and causes harm. It's often the safest choice when the tree’s structural integrity is compromised. Dead or Unstable Trees Dead trees may look harmless, but they’re unpredictable. They can splinter, crumble, or collapse during cutting. Crane removal limits the need for climbing or cutting in weak areas, reducing risks to workers and nearby structures. Crane-Assisted Tree Removal in Sanford, FL For challenging tree removals that demand precision and skill, our crane-assisted tree removal services are the way to go. We have invested in state-of-the-art equipment that allows our experienced team to efficiently and safely remove large or hard-to-reach trees. This advanced approach ensures minimal impact on your property and surrounding landscapes and structures. With a crane, we can perform otherwise impossible jobs, such as removing trees between buildings, backyard tree removal, or other tree removal that takes place in tight spaces. For tree removal in Sanford, FL, and the surrounding areas, contact A Sun State Tree at  407-530-3790  .
