Tree Care in El Portal, FL

If you're looking at the trees in your El Portal yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the homes here were built in the 1950s, and the builders often chose trees for fast growth, not long-term stability. That means you might have mature silver maples with weak wood and aggressive roots, or Bradford pear trees that are now at the age where their poor structure makes them prone to splitting. In our climate, with over 14 storms a year and 12-month growing seasons, these inherent weaknesses are constantly being tested. The good news is that native species like Southern Live Oak and Bald Cypress, which were often planted here too, are much better suited to handle our heat, humidity, and storms.
