Hurricane season in Central Florida can bring intense winds, heavy rains, and serious property damage. One of the biggest risks during a storm? Unprepared trees. Broken branches and uprooted trunks can damage homes, vehicles, and power lines. Fortunately, you can take steps now to reduce the danger. At Big Mike’s Tree Service, we help Central Florida homeowners and businesses storm-proof their trees with expert care, equipment, and fast response times.

A visual inspection is the first and most important step in hurricane prep. Trees may look healthy at a glance, but hidden issues like internal decay or weakened roots can turn them into hazards under high wind pressure. Look for signs such as dead or hanging limbs, leaning trunks, split branches, and fungal growth at the base. If you’re unsure what to look for, Big Mike’s Tree Service offers professional assessments to identify problem areas before they become costly damageBefore the storms start rolling in, inspect your trees for signs of weakness.

Big Mike’s Tree Service offers professional tree assessments to spot hidden hazards that could become serious risks in high winds.

Proper trimming does more than make your trees look good—it keeps them strong and stable during high winds. Overgrown branches or dense canopies can act like sails, catching wind and causing trees to topple. At Big Mike’s, our certified team uses strategic trimming to remove weak or dead limbs, lighten heavy canopies, and promote wind flow through the tree. This process reduces strain on the tree’s structure and gives it the best chance to withstand hurricane-force winds.

Proper trimming is one of the most effective ways to minimize hurricane damage—and  Big Mike’s Tree Service has got the tools and training to do it right.

Some trees simply pose too great a risk during hurricane season. Dead trees, those with large cracks, and those growing too close to your home or power lines may need to be removed. This is especially true for species with shallow roots or poor structural integrity. Big Mike’s Tree Service provides safe, efficient removals—even in tight spaces or dangerous conditions. Our crane-assisted removal services and expert operators make sure the job is done right, without damaging your property.

Every year, once the first storm watch goes out, tree companies get overwhelmed with emergency requests. The best time to take action is well before hurricane season peaks. By scheduling your tree work early, you avoid long wait times and last-minute scrambling. Big Mike’s Tree Service offers everything from routine maintenance to urgent removals, and we can help you get on the schedule now—before the winds start blowing. Plus, we’re available for follow-up support after a storm hits.
