Moss Removal
Professional Moss Removal Services in Pinellas County
Protect Your Trees and Enhance Curb Appeal with Safe, Effective Moss Removal
B&T’s Tree Service is regularly contracted for Moss Removal when our customers trees accumulate so much moss that the photosynthetic process is inhibited, or the moss creates so much weight on the branches that the branches or limbs start to fail. If your trees are covered in moss and you are worried that it is becoming an issue, contact us today for a free estimate for moss removal. We will send a Certified Arborist to your property to inspect your trees and tell you whether you need the moss removed from your trees or not. B&T’s Tree Service does not spray chemicals on your trees canopy to remove the moss. We have a team of professional climbers that access tree canopies on industry specific climbing ropes and safety gear. Once in the top of the tree, our climbers pull out the moss by hand, drop it to the ground, and once out of the tree, all the moss is hauled away in our dump trucks. Moss removal can be a tricky and dangerous process, make sure you hire a Certified Arborist that is insured to perform your moss removal project.

We Provide Expert Moss Removal
Sometimes our customers simply do not want the moss in their trees. To them, it just looks unsightly and they prefer to have us perform moss removal on their trees. This is fine, just keep in mind that the moss does not always have to be removed.
The question we get the most is, will the moss kill our tree? The answer is no. Moss takes nothing from the trees, it simply uses the branches and foliage as an anchor point.
Spanish moss is an epiphyte which absorbs nutrients (especially calcium) and water from the air and rainfall. Spanish moss is colloquially known as “air plant”.[8]
While it rarely kills the trees, it lowers their growth rate by reducing the amount of light to a tree’s own leaves. It also increases wind resistance, which can prove fatal to the host tree in ahurricane.
In the southern U.S., the plant seems to show a preference of growth on Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) or Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) because of these trees’ high rates of foliar mineral leaching (calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus) providing an abundant supply of nutrients to the plant,[9] but it can also colonize other tree species such as Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), crepe-myrtles (Lagerstroemia spp.), other oaks, and even pines.
Spanish moss shelters a number of creatures, including rat snakes and three species of bats. One species of jumping spider, Pelegrina tillandsiae, has been found only on Spanish moss.[10]

B & T did a great job start to finish. I struggled for months to get a tree company to come out and just give me a quote to take down 4 trees. My trees were in a difficult area and the companies that did come out never would give me a quote. All of them made excuses and acted like it was just not doable. B& T responded immediately, looked at the job for 5 mins, gave me a quote on the spot, obtained the permit and cut down all my trees without one issue! They arrived early, worked expertly and efficiently. Had it all down and cleaned up in a 6 hours. The trees were big and between two house, they did it without any problems at all! I have recommended them to all my friends. Everyone is interacted with at the company was wonderful. Heather FreemanJanuary 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and his guys did a Great job! They were on time and attentive to detail.

We had Brian and his crew come out to clean up and maintain our 4 backyard Live Oak trees and they did a wonderful job. They were prompt and had the job completed in a little over an hour and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Thanks Brian. M NDecember 12, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need a tree cut, trimmed or removed, Look no further. Brian and his crew came out and cut an enormous dying Camphor tree from my backyard and they did a great job. They also grinded the stump and some of the large roots sticking out of the dirt and removed and hauled away everything as promised. I’ve had other tree companies leave large piles of wood chips from the grinder and debris all around. Brian treated my property as his own and made sure it was clean, neat and nothing was left behind. I was worried about power lines and the small gate access but it was not an issue at all not to mention the price was very fair. I highly recommend getting them for any tree needs and their honestly and customer service and professionalism is truly 5 star.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
