Gibsonton Tree Service

I've lived in the Tampa area for over 30 years, and in East Hillsborough for about 20. Before I moved to the east side, I really didn't know much about Gibsonton. I hadn't heard about it's connection to the carnival industry, nor had I heard its nickname "Gibtown".

It turns out that Gibtown is the winter home of a lot of showmen and their employees, sometimes known as "Carnies". You might see some businesses with Showman or Carnival related names, and you might see carnival rides, packed into their open semi-trailers, sitting in someone's yard.

Gibsonton Florida is a Census Designated Place on the south shore of the Alifia River between Hillsborough Bay and I-75 and down to Big Bend Road.

This area was once called South Shore, and that name is being used again to refer to at least Gibsonton, Riverview and Apollo Beach. As a significant part of SouthShore, hosting a new movie theater, Cracker Barrel Restaurant and an aging Walmart Super Center, Gibsonton is growing into a more urban town.

This urbanization hasn't rid Gibsonton of its trees! Just take a look at it on a map with satellite view and you'll see how green it is.

Emergency Tree Service

Live Oak trees are a Florida favorite. They make excellent shade trees and are attractive as well as good nesting sites and food sources for birds and squirrels. They add value to your property and may mitigate storm damage by acting as a wind break.

We mustn't let our love of these trees blind us to their potential downside. All trees shed branches. Larger trees may shed larger limbs. If their health is impaired, they may fail entirely. Even a healthy tree might come down if the soil becomes too saturated and the tree simply uproots. Any tree falling like this is, of course, dangerous. It is especially so with these large ancient trees. A certified arborist's maintenance schedule can reduce the risks of failure by keeping the tree balanced and healthy.

Emergency Tree Removal

I've talked about Live Oaks, because they are so LARGE and so common in Florida, but any large fallen tree can be a danger. To safely remove a fallen tree and prevent additional damage to property requires skill and experience. My client, Mid Florida Tree Service has both.
