Our St. Augustine Tree Trimming & Pruning Services

At W.C.H. Debris Removal & Tree Service, we tailor our approach to meet the specific needs of your trees and property in St. Augustine. Our common pruning services include:

Crown Cleaning: We expertly remove dead, dying, diseased, or weak branches from the tree’s canopy. This improves safety, enhances tree health, and prevents potential issues from spreading.
Crown Thinning: This involves the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air circulation throughout the tree’s crown. It reduces stress on the tree and helps maintain its natural shape.
Crown Raising: Need more clearance? We carefully remove lower branches to provide safe passage for pedestrians, vehicles, or to improve views around your St. Augustine property.
Deadwood Removal: A critical safety measure, we meticulously remove dead branches from your trees, reducing the risk of falling limbs and enhancing the overall health and appearance of your landscape.
Palm Tree Pruning: Specialized care for your St. Augustine palms, including the careful removal of dead or dying fronds to maintain their iconic look and health, without causing harm to the tree.

Palm Tree Care Specialists

Our team understands the unique requirements of Florida palms, from the majestic Sabal Palm, our state tree, to popular varieties like Canary Island Date Palms and Queen Palms.

Why Trust Us With Your St. Augustine Palms?

Correct Pruning: We remove only brown or dead fronds, avoiding harmful “hurricane cuts” or damaging climbing spikes. This protects your palm’s health and structure.
Local Expertise: We understand the needs of palms in our St. Augustine climate.
Health & Appearance: Our goal is to enhance your palm’s natural beauty and longevity, safely removing unwanted fruit stalks if needed.

Canary Palm Expertise

Valued for their robust nature, adaptability, and striking beauty, Canary Palms are a favored choice for many landscapes. With expert care, these majestic palms become a lasting source of pride, offering shade, enhancing your property’s appeal, and even helping to purify the air for years to come.

Mark Kimmell

Have use William three times for tree removal and trimming. Always does a great job! Very responsive and fair pricing. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you Mark we appreciate your business!

Robert Larson

Response from the owner:Thank you for the work!

Michael Oliver

William and his team are absolutely amazing! We had a very hard to take out tree and they were able to do it and do so with care of our surrounding house, fence and properties. Again I can not say enough positive things about William and his crew! They went above and beyond.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much Mike. That was quite a tree in a very tight place. Happy Thanksgiving

Eric Hodges

Outstanding Tree Service – Highly Recommended!

WCH Debris Removal and Tree Service did an exceptional job clearing our fully wooded lot for a new home build. From start to finish, they were punctual, professional, and incredibly thorough. The crew took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure we understood what to expect.

We ended up calling them back twice more after discovering we needed additional trees removed for proper footer excavation, and each time they delivered the same top-quality work. Much of the tree removal required technical precision, as the lot sits between two existing homes—some trees even hung over the roofs—and backs up to a major roadway. Despite the challenges, WCH handled everything safely and efficiently.

I truly couldn’t recommend them enough. If you need tree work done—especially complex or high-risk jobs—WCH Debris removal and Tree Service is the team to call.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much Eric! We appreciate the work!

Phillip C.

We have a large Sylvester Palm Tree that is leaning and has been a concern with neighbors of falling down. I called W.C.H. to evaluate its condition.
Several times over the period of 2 years William has inspected and affirmed that that the tree is healthy and in NO danger of falling. William did suggest that a removal of the dead bark would expose the tree core. This would alleviate any concerns. Problem solved.
Results are spectacular as the picture reflects.
William knows what he’s talking about.

Response from the owner:I hope your neighbors are happy now Phil! That's a beautiful palm now!

Robert Kell

William and crew did an amazing job trimming my large palms and clean-up. Definitely recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the work Robert!

Shirley Newby

William did an awesome job on our tallest leaning tree by our house. He was prompt, communicated everything clearly. He’s a very honest guy that works hard and efficiently. He safely cut branches, making sure they fell away from our house. He’s reasonably priced and uses well-maintained equipment. He will be our ONLY “go to” for tree service.
Bill and Shirley Newby

Response from the owner:Thank you very much! The scenery was incredible in that northwestern Montana area!

Christopher Jones

These guys are the Best. Super professional and kind . Would recommend to anyone!

Response from the owner:Thank you Chris and thanks for all the hospitality. We all really appreciated the sandwiches and refreshments. Pleasure working for you sir!

Gian Basili

William and his small and efficient crew of 3 did an outstanding job at our house. They worked for 3 full days removing sand pines that were either dead or leaning and snarled up in other trees, they took limbs off the house to increase light and reduce wildfire risk, and William took great care sculpting some of the signature trees to highlight their structure and beauty. William (owner /operator) did all the cutting off the ground and he utilized an impressive, nimble lift that created a safe work platform while also facilitating super targeted cutting opportunities. Daily rate was fair and they accomplished everything William thought they could and more. Work was tricky at times and they made it look easy. William is a great guy, super sharp and knowledgeable, and he runs a safe and efficient operation. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Response from the owner:We enjoyed that job! Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the work!

Phillip Burnham

Absolutely outstanding experience with William Hill and WCH Tree Service!

From start to finish, William and his crew were professional, courteous, and incredibly skilled. They showed up on time, worked safely and efficiently, and left the property spotless when the job was done. Whether it was trimming, full removals, or cleanup, their attention to detail and respect for the property were second to none.

It’s rare to find a team this honest, dependable, and hard-working — William takes real pride in what he does, and it shows in every branch and cut. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend WCH Tree Service to anyone looking for top-notch service from genuine professionals.

If you want it done right the first time, call William Hill and WCH Tree Service — they’re the best

Response from the owner:Wow thank you Phillip. We take a lot of pride in what we do. Thank you for the work!

Andrew Schreiner

William and his team are skilled at what they do, trimming trees, removing trees, and even clearing brush. They are quick and professional and do a great job cleaning up making the yard clean and ready to go for the kids. Now my trees are ready for hurricane season and any other storms. Also ask him about his local honey its amazing! He is a local beekeeper too, and so passionate about it. He is a wealth of knowledge about trees and bees! Looking forward to getting more honey and when the trees need trimming, he is the only one I'll be calling.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much Andrew! I do take pride in my bees and everyone's trees.

Response from the owner:Thank you Tracy! If I had any hair I would certainly have you give it a haircut!

Marcy Burnham

We called WCH to trim our Queen Palms that were touching our roof. The team arrived within a few days. They were punctual, efficient, and did a fantastic job shaping up our trees and protecting our home. When they were finished, they cleaned up all of the fallen branches and left my yard immaculate! We are so appreciative for their service and will definitely call them in the future!

Response from the owner:Thank you Marcy, it's a pleasure doing business with you!!!

Daniel Lewis

Great job! I had this company out to trim about 12 Palm trees, various types, and they did a quick, most importantly clean, thorough job. Very good cleanup.

Response from the owner:Thanks, Daniel! Appreciate your business and the 5 star review!

Laura Scuderi

We are so happy with WCH Debris Removal.
Job done to perfection.
Very nice young gentleman.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Laura! We sure loved seeing you all again and taking care of your yard! We look forward to seeing you next time!

Donna McGee

WCH is amazing, professional and hard-working! Sadly, we had 2 very large magnolia trees we had to remove, along with their massive stumps. Will was on site the entire time, supervising his crew, making sure they carefully and methodically took down these trees, while keeping themselves safe. It was a sight to see! Afterward, our yard was immaculate. Our neighbor was so impressed, he walked over to get his contact info. I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending WCH Tree Trimming and Debris Removal. A bonus…William, the owner, is is a bee keeper! I bought some of his local honey and all I can say is YUM!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Donna! It’s always our pleasure to service you folks and your beautiful home. We appreciate you and your business!

Alec Salt

This is the 3rd year that William's crew have trimmed my 8 palms. Awesome service. The palms look good, they haul away every little bit of debris and clean up after themselves. Incredibly thorough. And for a competitive price too. Hope to see you next year.

Amber Z

Shari Cartwright

We are very happy with the service provided to us by WCH. To start with, when I first called to get an estimate, I received a return call within 1 day. Two other companies I'd called previously didn't bother to call back.

Next, when William Hill came to our house for an estimate, he was on time and very knowledgeable as we discussed our trees. He advised that it would be about a month before he'd be able to do the work because they were busy. I appreciate him setting expectations and a realistic timeline.

A month later, they showed up and had the work done in about 3 hours. We had every tree trimmed, hardwoods and palms, plus some bottle brush. The trees look great and they cleaned up and hauled away the debris. Nothing to tell they were here except beautifully trimmed trees.

I highly recommend this company for tree trimming.

Response from the owner:Thank you, we do our best!

Debbie Hrach

Jerald Jahn

WCH, with William at the helm, did a bang-up job for us, clearing out an overgrown backyard and pruning up the cabbage palms. They arrived exactly when they said they would, with everything they needed, and were done in a flash. What an improvement! I also very much appreciated the care with which William went over our expectations and goals for the work at our first meeting. We are very pleased.

Response from the owner:Thank you Jerry, we appreciate that very much!

Tara Drago

We recently had William and his crew help us remove and trim several trees in our downtown St. Augustine home. From the start, William was professional, on-time, honest, and helpful – as there was a lot of coordination on this project. When it came time for the work to start, William and his team did a fantastic job. They delivered on what they promised, they cleaned up after they were done, and made sure every last detail was covered. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of tree trimming or removal.

Vince Leone

I can’t say enough about my experience using WCH for tree pruning. We had 4 large oak trees that hadn’t been pruned in years and needed extra attention. The owner William and his crew were extremely professional walking us through the process. There were multiple large limbs hanging over the roof and pushing on to the side of the house. They did a fantastic job making sure not to cause any damage to the house or bushes below. They shaped all the oaks perfectly and removed every dead branch and twig. They took extra time to clean up and the yard below honestly looked like they had never been there. The shape of the oaks look fantastic. These guys truly are artists and professionals. I can’t recommend William and his crew enough. Thanks for everything. You’ve got customers for life in Sea Grove!

Response from the owner:Thank you very much Vince, it's nice when we get to hear feedback like yours for our hard work. And both you and your neighbor were a pleasure to work for.

Nick Martinez

As a real estate agent this company is top notch. I worked with William the entire time and he was easy to communicate with, always on time, and did some excellent work with my personal home and customers I refer him too. The employees they are very respectable and when they finished up their work they cleaned up like they were never there. Highly recommend! 👍

Christine Danner

WCH trimmed trees for us this week. They showed up on time and were very professional. They did an excellent job pruning our trees. In addition they cleaned up all debris, raked, swept the area and hauled everything away in less than 2 hours. I will use them again. Highly recommend WCH!

Joshua Decker

Good communication, great results. Crew was on time and efficient. Very happy with quality of work. Would suggest to others. Will use again.

Chrissy Marie Wildflower

Beautiful job pruning my crepe myrtle. The crew was punctual, the price was reasonable, and my yard was left tidy. Thanks for the good work!

MOE Lambrecht

Amazing company! Professional, Honest. I highly recommend.

Jo From Vilano

Last week William Hill and employees removed a tree, the stump and, in another area, removed several large, heavy limbs that were rubbing on the roof. We were especially impressed with the way they took down the tree limbs. The limbs were roped off then cut and lowered safely to the ground. The "high wire" guy was amazing, The teamwork was impressive. The trimmings were removed completely and the yard was cleaned up. The price charged was very reasonable considering the amount of work done. Should we need more tree work, this is the company we will call.

Sharon Laribee

They cut down a huge tree and others I couldn’t be happier with their work! Very nice, very professional, great price and top-of-the-line equipment. Will definitely be using again!!!!

Danielle Gustafson

WCH came out and trimmed all of my overgrown palm trees. I had no idea how bad they'd gotten. All I can say is WOW. So much better. The yard was immaculate afterward as well – not one branch left on the ground. Everyone on the block has since asked for his contact information. I'm always happy to recommend someone who is hard working, professional and a good person. Bonus: He helped me set up my garden. It's gorgeous.
