When Tampa
loses power,
we're already
on the road.

Hurricane response and scheduled tree care across Hillsborough & Pinellas. ISA-certified arborists, fully insured climbers, real bucket trucks. We do the high-risk work other crews can't — and the maintenance work that keeps your canopy off your roof in the first place.

Tree Care Catalog

Six services.
One certified crew.

Tampa Bay tree work breaks down into two halves: emergency storm response (the half that pays for the truck) and scheduled care (the half that keeps your canopy healthy enough to survive the next storm). We do both — same crew, same standards.

[ 02 ]

Pruning & Trimming

ISA-spec pruning that keeps the tree healthy. Crown thinning to reduce wind load before storm season, structural pruning on young live oaks, deadwood removal, clearance over rooflines and driveways. We don't top trees. Ever.

Tree Removal

Dead, dying, hazardous, or just in the wrong place. We sectional-remove trees in tight spaces — over pools, behind privacy fences, between houses. Crane-assisted on the big ones. Leave a stump, grind it, or full extraction with debris haul-off.

Tight-Space Spec Crane Rigged Full Haul-Off

Stump Grinding

Below-grade grinding so you can replant, re-sod, or just walk through the yard without tripping. We grind 8-12 inches below grade, haul off the chips (or leave them for mulch if you prefer), and backfill with topsoil. Most stumps done in 30-45 minutes.

Palm Specialist

Florida palms aren't just pretty trees — they need different cuts than hardwoods. We're trained on Sabal, Royal, Queen, Foxtail, Date palms. Dead frond removal, seed pod cleanup, fungal-disease assessment, hurricane-prep canopy reduction. Done from the bucket.

Tree Health Inspection

Buying a property with mature trees? Insurance company asking for an inspection? We walk the property, document each significant tree, identify rot, root issues, structural problems, and produce a written report with priority recommendations. ISA-certified signature.

How It Works

Estimate to cleanup.
Most jobs in one day.

Emergency response is dispatched within the hour. Scheduled work is quoted in person, calendared on your schedule, and worked clean — we leave the property the way we found it minus what came down.

01

Walk the property

For most jobs we come out in person to scope. We'd rather drive 45 minutes to give you an honest quote than guess from photos. Estimate signed on-site.

02

Schedule the crew

Standard work books 5-10 days out. Storm work is dispatched same-day during named events. Pre-hurricane prep books fastest in May; we hold capacity.

03

Climb & cut clean

Climber up, ground crew rigging, bucket truck or crane staged. Tarps over the pool. Plywood over the patio. The cuts are the easy part — staging is the trade.

04

Leave it better

Branches chipped, logs hauled or stacked your call, lawn raked. Final walkthrough with you before we leave. Photos sent if you weren't on-site during the work.

Why Ironwood

Four reasons
we get the repeat work.

[ 01 ]

ISA-certified climbers

International Society of Arboriculture certification — the actual industry credential — held by three of our four climbers. Anybody can buy a chainsaw. The cert is what tells you the climber knows how a tree heals from a cut, which limbs to take and which to leave, and how to rig a 600-pound limb without dropping it on your roof.

[ 02 ]

Insurance, not just a number on a card

$2M general liability plus full workers' compensation on every climber. COI sent before any work begins on your property. Many "tree guys" in Tampa Bay are running with $300K policies (or none at all). When their climber falls in your yard, the difference is your homeowner's policy versus theirs.

[ 03 ]

We don't top trees

Topping is the practice of cutting all the upper branches off a tree to reduce its size. It's also the single fastest way to kill a healthy tree (the wounds never heal properly and the regrowth is structurally weak). It's banned by ISA standards. If another quote includes the word "topping," that's the tell — they're not arborists.

Storm response actually means something

During Hurricane Idalia we ran 14-hour shifts for nine days. We don't expand the crew with day-laborers when storms hit; we run our normal four-person crew harder. The customers we served first were our existing maintenance customers — fair, but worth knowing if you call us for the first time during a storm.

"Same crew every visit. That's why I keep calling."
From Real Tampa Bay Yards

327 five-star reviews.
Three of them.

Pulled from Google. Real customers, real Tampa Bay neighborhoods, real storm cleanup work. The pattern in our reviews: people mention a specific climber by name. That's because the same crew shows up every time.

"Idalia dropped a forty-foot live oak limb across our pool screen. Called Ironwood at 6 AM, Diego had a crew on-site by 9. Rigged the limb so it never touched the screen on the way down. Three other tree services said two weeks out. These guys are different."

South Tampa · Storm Response

"We had three quotes for removing a dying laurel oak. Two said 'top it down then we'll figure it out.' Ironwood came out, walked the tree, said sectional removal with a crane was the only safe way given the proximity to our roof. The honest quote was the right quote."

Anita Crowder
Carrollwood · Tree Removal

"On annual maintenance with Ironwood for six years. Three royal palms, two queen palms, a sabal, plus a big live oak. They show up when scheduled, the same crew, with photos before-and-after. We didn't lose a frond in Idalia. That's not luck — that's pre-storm canopy reduction."
