Our Approach
Tree trimming isn’t just about appearance — it’s about safety, structure, and long-term health. Our tree trimming and pruning process in Melbourne, FL follows a step-by-step plan to ensure every cut is made with purpose and precision:
-
Property Walkthrough: We inspect your trees and discuss your concerns — overgrowth, canopy balance, clearance from homes or power lines, etc.
-
Assessment: We identify dead or weak limbs, disease, and areas that need thinning or shaping.
-
Pruning & Thinning: Using proper arbor techniques, we remove selected branches to open the canopy, promote airflow, and prevent storm damage.
-
Final Cleanup: All debris and branches are removed from your property, leaving your yard neat and refreshed.
Our trimming helps your trees thrive while enhancing your home’s curb appeal and value.

When a tree becomes hazardous, diseased, or storm-damaged, removal is sometimes the safest option. At Sturgeons, we handle even the most complex removals safely and efficiently.
Here’s how our removal process works:
-
Inspection & Quote: We assess the tree’s size, structure, and surroundings to determine the safest removal method.
-
Rigging & Safety Setup: We use ropes, harnesses, and cranes when necessary to ensure complete control.
-
Section-by-Section Removal: Trees are carefully dismantled from the top down, preventing damage to nearby structures, fencing, or landscaping.
-
Cleanup & Haul Away: All debris is removed, and the area is raked clean — leaving your property safe and clear.


Our Grinding Process
A leftover stump doesn’t just look bad — it attracts termites and makes mowing difficult. Our stump grinding and removal services in Melbourne, FL restore your lawn safely and efficiently.
-
Site Preparation: We mark underground utilities and create a safe work area.
-
Grinding: Using high-powered stump grinders, we grind the stump 6–12 inches below grade, depending on the site’s needs.
-
Root Control: If roots are visible or causing yard issues, we grind or cut them back to prevent regrowth.
-
Cleanup: We fill the hole with mulch or soil, leaving your yard level and ready for sod or landscaping.
We can remove one stump or dozens, ensuring a smooth, clean finish every time.

Rapid Response When You Need It Most
