“Our Italian cypress trees had gotten too tall and were splitting in wind storms. They carefully reduced the height and secured them. Very knowledgeable about this species.”

Get answers to common questions about cypress tree trimming in Orlando.
When is the best time to trim cypress trees?
Late winter through early spring is ideal for most cypress trimming, before new growth begins. Bald and pond cypress can also be trimmed in late summer after growth slows. Avoid trimming during active growth periods.
How much does cypress tree trimming cost?
Cypress trimming costs vary by species and size. Italian cypress typically costs $150-$400 per tree, Leyland cypress hedges $300-$800+, and large bald/pond cypress $400-$1,200+. We provide free estimates.
Can cypress trees be topped to reduce height?
It depends on the species. Bald and pond cypress can tolerate height reduction better than most conifers. Italian cypress can be carefully reduced. Leyland cypress is more forgiving. We always use proper reduction cuts, never topping.
Why are my cypress trees turning brown?
Cypress browning can indicate several issues: seasonal needle drop (normal for bald cypress), fungal disease (especially Seiridium canker in Leyland cypress), drought stress, or spider mites. We can diagnose the cause and recommend treatment.
Can you remove cypress knees?
Yes, cypress knees can be removed or trimmed, though it's important to cut them properly without damaging the root system. Keep in mind that knees serve a biological function for the tree and may regrow. We can advise on the best approach.
How often should Leyland cypress hedges be trimmed?
Leyland cypress hedges typically need trimming 2-3 times per year to maintain a dense, formal shape. At minimum, annual trimming in late spring is recommended. More frequent light trimming produces the best results.
