Your local tree crew in Longwood
Longwood is home to some of the oldest trees in the entire state — The Senator once stood in nearby Big Tree Park, and Lady Liberty still does — so it's fitting that this is a town where trees genuinely matter. That heritage shows up on residential lots too. Historic Longwood and the wooded neighborhoods off Wekiva Springs Road and Markham Woods Road are heavily canopied with towering pines, live oaks, and sweetgums, and a lot of those trees are tall, old, and worth protecting where we can.
But tall and old also means tall and old. Longwood's pine-heavy canopy is prone to dropping large deadwood, and the Wekiva basin's sandy, well-drained soils don't always give slash pines and laurel oaks the anchoring they need in a saturated storm. We see a lot of failures here that started as a small crack or a bit of root-plate lift that a homeowner never noticed until a system came through. Because so many lots are wooded and mature, Longwood is a place where a professional hazard assessment is genuinely worth the visit — it's the difference between removing one weak tree on your schedule and cleaning three off your roof after a storm.
Kirby's Tree Service handles the full range in Longwood: careful pruning to preserve the big legacy trees you want to keep, removal of the ones that have become a liability, and around-the-clock emergency response when a pine comes down across your driveway. We're locally owned, licensed and insured, and we bring equipment that can work the tight, tree-lined lots common here without tearing up your landscaping. Estimates are free, our advice is straight, and we clean up completely — no chip pile left behind.
