Common Tree Services We Provide

Tree Removal

Tree removal is one of IGY6 Rooted's main specialties. We know that when a tree poses a threat or a risk to your home or property, you want the job done right.

There are many reasons why a tree might need to be removed. Trees may be diseased or dying, leaning dangerously toward your home, blocking construction projects, or have roots damaging your foundation or driveway. Storm damage can also weaken tree structures, making removal necessary for safety.

We assess each tree carefully before removal, considering factors like nearby structures, power lines, and landscaping. Each job is unique – we make sure to account for your personal needs every time. Plus, every tree removal includes complete cleanup and debris hauling.

Not sure whether or not a tree on your property might pose a threat? Give us a call – we'll come to you and give you our honest opinion of your situation so that you can make an informed decision.

Tree Trimming and Pruning

Most people don't think about maintaining their trees until it becomes a problem. For example, you may have branches scraping against your roof, blocking your view, or hanging dangerously over power lines. Or because your tree's health hasn't been maintained, it starts to die and then becomes a risk that you otherwise could have avoided.

For most people, tree trimming and tree pruning seems like the same thing. And while, yes, they are similar, they solve different problems. Here's the breakdown…

Tree trimming focuses on removing unwanted growth and shaping your trees for safety and appearance. We cut back overgrown branches, clear limbs away from structures, and open up canopies to let more light reach your yard. Regular tree trimming prevents branches from becoming too heavy and reduces the risk of storm damage—especially important during Florida's hurricane season along the Emerald Coast.

Tree pruning, on the other hand, is more specialized work that targets the health of your trees. We remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches that can spread problems to healthy parts of the tree. Proper tree pruning also involves thinning crowded areas to improve air circulation and removing crossing branches that rub against each other. For comprehensive information on proper pruning techniques, the University of Florida's tree care resources provide excellent guidance for Florida homeowners.

Both services help your trees grow stronger while protecting your property investment. Not sure what your trees need? We offer free estimates to assess your specific situation and recommend the right approach for your landscape.

Emergency Tree Removal

Some tree removals require immediate attention. Many homeowners don't realize how quickly partially fallen trees can shift and fall unexpectedly. This can easily cause damage to your home or your vehicles. Or worse… it could hurt you or your loved ones.

Here are some examples of emergency situations…maybe a tree has fallen across your driveway. Or maybe after a storm, a tree on your property is now leaning dangerously close to or against power lines. Or maybe you've noticed that a tree trunk has split, which could make it unstable and more likely to fall toward your home.

At IGY6 Rooted, we take emergency tree removals very seriously and prioritize them. After you reach out, we'll assess any risks or threats that the tree might pose and then get to work immediately. We use specialized equipment to ensure that we are able to complete the job quickly while ensuring that your property isn't damaged.

You don't want to hesitate if you have a tree emergency. Even if you're not sure, it's better to be safe than sorry. Call us immediately for help in these circumstances, even if it's outside of our normal business hours.
