Tree care in Temple Terrace, the local version
Temple Terrace literally calls itself a city in a park — the grand oak canopy over its streets is protected by one of the area's older tree ordinances, and residents expect tree work done with respect for it.
Most of our Temple Terrace work is preservation: structural pruning, deadwood removal, and honest assessments of aging giants along the river.

Temple Terrace questions, answered
Can I remove an oak in Temple Terrace?
Only with the city's approval in most cases — Temple Terrace has its own tree ordinance and protects its oak canopy more actively than most Tampa Bay cities. Dead and hazardous trees have a path to approval. H&M Tree Service prepares the assessment and handles the process for you.

A big limb is hanging over my roof in Temple Terrace — is that an emergency?
If it's cracked, partially detached, or moving in wind — yes, treat it as one and call (813) 244-0050. Hanging limbs ('widow-makers') come down without warning. If it's healthy but overextended, scheduled weight-reduction pruning solves it before storm season does.
