The southeast portion of Hillsborough County, Florida, continues its rapid growth. Central to this growth is Riverview. The area including Riverview, Apollo Beach, Gibsonton, Ruskin and Sun City Center have come to be known as SouthShore. The river in the name Riverview is the Alifia River that runs through the town.

Despite the growth, Riverview remains a tree rich area. As such, the health of the trees is of great importance to maintain the area's natural beauty. Like most of Florida, it is subject to seasonal storms that include near daily thunderstorms during the spring and summer as well as the occasional impact of a tropical cyclone. This keeps our trees under constant threat. It is possible to mitigate that threat, and the risk posed to nearby property, by having routine maintenance performed on your trees by knowledgeable professionals.

Pruning and Trimming

At Mid Florida Tree Service, we are often contacted to help with pruning and trimming trees and shrubs. This not only maintains a pleasant appearance, but reduces potential threats from storms. A professional arborist familiar with Riverview Florida's range of native trees is the right choice to care for your trees.

Riverview tree service may include:

• Thinning branches. This allows more sunlight to reach the lawn & reduces the potential for wind damage.
• Trimming branch ends to reduce weight
• Ornamental shaping for hedges
• Reducing overall weight to prevent trunk splits or breaks
• Treatment against wood destroying organisms
• Root pruning to protect your concrete driveway and foundation
• Deep root fertilization so your fertilizer gets past your grass and can actually benefit your tree.
• Total tree removal, when needed. Usually a last resort
• Below grade stump grinding, for appearance and, more importantly, for safety

There are many benefits for Riverview Homeowners to keep their trees healthy. Properly maintained trees tend to  increase curb appeal, raising property values. Because our area is prone to hurricanes and storms, it is even more important to have a tree service. A flying branch striking a structure can require costly repairs and hassles of an insurance claim. Potential damages may be mitigated by clearing out dry, dead branches and damaged limbs. In some cases tree removal service may be required.

Storm damage, declining tree health or poor upkeep can cause trees to become a danger to life & property. Trees can become unstable and more likely to be uprooted by strong winds if not taken care of. Tree removal becomes necessary if roots are damaged, limbs die, or when the tree is totally diseased. Overgrowth interfering with building foundations or other property structures can also lead to the need for tree removal. We've all probably seen the damage Tree roots can do to driveways and cement walkways. This can leave dangerous trip hazards on your property and be an eyesore. These issues can be abated by consulting with a Riverview Florida tree service.
