There are several tree trimming companies in Jupiter. Trimming trees before hurricane season is very important. For those you who are not aware, when hurricanes hit, between the wind and the rain, many trees are toppled. But if they are properly trimmed and the center of the tree opened up the winds pass through the tree rather than toppling it.

Most HOA and Condo Assoc. have contracts for annual tree trimming. And if a storm should hit there is a huge market for clean up. Everything from removing downed trees, to cutting damaged limbs or root grinding.

Landscape companies, there are a million of them, and they employ a lot of lower wage immigrants. So if you decide to go that route, it is helpful to be bi-linqual.

I am sure alot will depend on your experience and desire to work, but knowing Spanish is helpful.

One of the bigger Landscape Companies is called Brickman; they have contracts in a lot of the big communities.

One of the best tree trimming companies that I know is Palm Coast. The owner of the company is a really good guy. A few years ago the HOA I managed was in the cross hairs of Hurricane Francis. Palm Coast had our contract for Annual Tree Trimming. As we prepared the property for the inpending storm - the owner came to my office to let me know his guys would be on my property immediately after the storm passed, that they would remove any downed trees from the road ways and homeowners driveways. We lost a couple hundred trees, but Palm Coast kept their word and drove every street and cleared any roads and driveways in the community to insure that people were not trapped in their homes.

good luck.
