Summer in Central Florida means sweltering heat, intense humidity, and unpredictable weather patterns. While your trees are built to handle nature, they still need proper care to stay healthy, strong, and storm-ready. Without attention, they can become stressed, diseased, or even dangerous. That’s why Big Mike’s Tree Service is here with expert tips—and the tools and services—to help your trees thrive through the heat. From trimming to inspections, we’ve got your trees covered this summer.
Even though Florida is known for sudden downpours, summer can also bring stretches of dry, hot days that leave your trees thirsty. Without proper watering, young or shallow-rooted trees may show signs of stress like wilting, leaf drop, or browning. A slow, deep watering once or twice a week can make all the difference. Mulching around the base of the tree also helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Need help identifying stressed trees? Big Mike’s team can inspect and advise on the best care plan.
Summer is an excellent time for selective tree trimming—especially to prepare for hurricane season. Removing dead, damaged, or crowded branches helps improve air circulation, which can prevent fungal infections and insect infestations. It also reduces the risk of storm damage by making the tree more wind-resistant. At Big Mike’s, we offer professional trimming services that keep your trees healthy and your property safe all summer long.
Warm, humid conditions make Florida trees a hotspot for pests like aphids, borers, and scale insects. These bugs can weaken trees by feeding on leaves, bark, and sap, and infestations often go unnoticed until the damage is severe. Keep an eye out for holes in leaves, sticky residue, or unusual bark damage. Big Mike’s Tree Service can assess your trees and recommend safe, effective treatments to protect your greenery from summer invaders.
With hurricane season overlapping summer, it’s essential to prepare your trees before severe weather hits. Loose branches, dead limbs, or unstable trees should be addressed as soon as possible to avoid property damage. Big Mike’s offers crane-assisted tree removals, emergency trimming, and debris clearing services to make sure your trees are ready for anything the season throws at them.
Florida summers are beautiful—but tough on trees. A little attention goes a long way in keeping your landscape safe, attractive, and storm-resistant. From trimming and inspections to removals and emergency prep, Big Mike’s Tree Service is here to keep Central Florida properties looking their best all season long.Get a quote today!
