Serving Citrus Park · Hillsborough County
Holleywood Tree Service is a licensed, insured, arborist-guided tree company working throughout Citrus Park and the surrounding Hillsborough County communities — Logan Gate, Fawn Ridge, Country Run, Copperfield, Wood Briar and more. We handle water oak, slash pine, red maple and cypress every week here: hazardous removals, structural and hurricane-prep pruning, stump grinding, and 24/7 emergency storm response with crane, bucket truck and precision rigging.
Citrus Park backs up to conservation and wetland edges where water oaks and pines grow tall and thin, then snap or uproot in saturated soil after heavy summer rain.
In Country Run (33626) we handled a tight-access removal on a Citrus Park lot with no side-yard clearance. The crane picked the trunk out over the house in three sections, the yard took no ruts, and the homeowner had their driveway back the same afternoon.

“James and Alex along with their crew came up from Tampa to help out with tree removal after hurricane Isaias. Gave me a very reasonable quote for removing a tree that fell on my home and was able to get it done the next day. Professional, nice, honest guys. Ve…”
“Five stars all the way for Holleywood Tree Service! We had a massive, hazardous oak tree hanging directly over our roof that needed to come down before storm season. James and his crew came to Lutz on very short notice for emergency storm preparation. They saf…”

Citrus Park backs directly onto the Upper Tampa Bay Conservation Park and a string of wetland edges that run through Logan Gate, Fawn Ridge and Lake Chase, and that proximity shapes almost every tree call we get here. Water oaks and slash pines grow tall and thin reaching for light at the conservation border, then come down in saturated ground after a heavy summer rain — sometimes onto the very fence line that marks the property boundary. Copperfield and Country Run sit a little higher and drier, but even those yards feed into the same drainage system eventually.
Lots backing onto the Upper Tampa Bay preserve and connecting wetland fingers hold water at the root zone for days after a heavy summer rain, longer than the drier interior of Citrus Park. Water oaks and pines growing in that saturated soil develop shallow, poorly anchored root systems, and when wind arrives on top of ground that is already waterlogged the whole root plate can let go rather than just a limb. We look for soil heaving on the windward side and a widening trunk lean as the clearest signs a conservation-edge tree is already failing, and on these lots we weigh that risk more heavily than we would on a drier, higher property elsewhere in Citrus Park.
Hillsborough County treats the preserve boundary and adjacent wetland buffer as protected ground, and dragging brush, staging a chipper, or letting debris settle across that line creates a problem well beyond the tree itself. We identify the property boundary and any buffer setback before starting work on a Citrus Park lot backing to conservation land, keep all debris and equipment on the homeowner's side, and remove only what is actually hazardous on that side of the line. Where a dead or leaning tree sits partly across the boundary, we tell you plainly what we can and cannot do without county coordination.
Citrus Park's wetland-edge lots see a distinct storm pattern: the same squall lines that pass through the rest of northwest Hillsborough cause more root-plate failure here because the ground was already saturated going into the wind event. After a summer storm, our Citrus Park sweep checks conservation-line trees first for fresh leaning or exposed roots rather than just canopy damage, since a tree that looks intact from the yard can already be loose at the base. We clear standing hazards, keep debris out of the wetland buffer, and document the work for insurance the same way we do everywhere else.
When we schedule what, based on Citrus Park soil, storm exposure and access conditions.
| Window | Focus | Why then |
|---|---|---|
| January – March | Conservation-line assessment and removals | The dry season gives us firm ground to work conservation-edge lots without churning up wet buffer soil, making this the best window for removals near the preserve boundary. |
| April – May | Pre-storm lean checks and deadwooding | We walk wetland-edge trees for early leaning and deadwood before the wet season saturates the ground again, focused on water oaks and pines closest to the conservation line. |
| June – September | Emergency response on saturated ground | Peak season for root-plate failure as heavy rain saturates the wetland edge ahead of wind events. We prioritize leaning and uprooted trees on conservation-adjacent lots during this window. |
| October – December | Post-season cleanup and buffer-safe hauling | We assess storm-loosened trees along the preserve line, clear debris while keeping it off conservation land, and handle stump grinding on the drier interior lots of Citrus Park. |
Citrus Park is unincorporated Hillsborough County, so standard county tree protection rules apply to removals, with protected and grand trees generally requiring review and dead or hazardous trees treated under a separate hazard provision. Properties backing onto the Upper Tampa Bay preserve or connecting wetland buffers may also be subject to conservation easement or setback restrictions, which we confirm before doing any work near that boundary. Several Citrus Park communities, including Copperfield and Country Run, carry HOA rules as well; we provide certificates of insurance to management companies on request.
