Serving Palm Harbor · Pinellas County
Holleywood Tree Service is a licensed, insured, arborist-guided tree company working throughout Palm Harbor and the surrounding Pinellas County communities — Lansbrook, Ridgemoor, Highland Lakes, Ozona, Crystal Beach and more. We handle grand live oak, laurel oak, sabal palm and slash pine 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.
Palm Harbor keeps a genuinely old canopy — grand live oaks over Ozona and Crystal Beach cottages and heavy oak cover through Lansbrook and Highland Lakes.
In Ridgemoor (34685) we handled a tight-access removal on a Palm Harbor 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…”

Palm Harbor holds two very different tree stories a few miles apart. Around Lansbrook and Innisbrook, planned golf-course communities back mature pine and oak canopy up against fairways and preserve edges, with deed restrictions on what can come down and how. Along Lake Tarpon's western shore and in the older cottage streets of Ozona and Crystal Beach, live oaks that predate the subdivisions still shade homes with well water and septic systems the golf-course communities never had to think about. We work both ends regularly, and the constraints could not be more different.
Properties along Lake Tarpon's western shore sit on saturated ground for much of the wet season, and live oaks there develop the same shallow-rooted instability we see on any Florida lake frontage — a widening lean and heaving soil on the uphill side are the early signs a tree is losing its grip rather than settling in for another decade. Lansbrook and Innisbrook are a different problem entirely: many lots back directly onto a fairway, cart path or preserve buffer with deed restrictions on tree removal near the course, and course management sometimes has its own opinion about a tree on your property line. We confirm both the HOA and course rules before we touch anything near a fairway.
Ozona and Crystal Beach's older cottage lots often still run on well water and septic rather than county utilities, and a loaded chip truck or crane outrigger set on a drain field will cause real damage. We map the tank, field and well head before bringing equipment onto these properties and plan the pick around them, often rigging a tree down in sections rather than driving to it. These streets are also narrower and more mature than a typical Palm Harbor subdivision, so overhead power lines and close-set neighboring trees add another layer of planning most golf-course lots do not require.
Palm Harbor's exposure varies with geography — Lake Tarpon shoreline trees are prone to uprooting after saturated soil meets wind, golf-course pines snap and drop debris across fairways and adjoining yards, and the older coastal cottages near Crystal Beach take more direct salt-laden wind off the Gulf side. We run a single priority rotation across all of it during active storms: structures and blocked driveways first, hangers next, cleanup last, with photo documentation at every stage for insurance and, where relevant, for HOA or course management records.
When we schedule what, based on Palm Harbor soil, storm exposure and access conditions.
| Window | Focus | Why then |
|---|---|---|
| January – March | Structural pruning and lakeside assessment | Cool, dry weather is the best window for major oak work near Lake Tarpon and for walking golf-course lots in Lansbrook and Innisbrook for pines that need attention before the growth flush. |
| April – May | Pre-storm cabling and pine hazard removal | We cable weak unions on shoreline oaks and remove lightning-vulnerable pines near fairways and rooflines before the first summer storm line moves through north Pinellas. |
| June – September | Storm response and palm trimming | Peak emergency season, especially along the lake and the coastal cottage streets. Palm trimming across Crystal Beach and Ozona happens now since palms handle summer cuts far better than winter ones. |
| October – December | Post-season walkthroughs and stump grinding | We check for lean and root heaving on lakeside trees, clear hangers from golf-course pines, and catch up on stump grinding in the older cottage neighborhoods while ground is dry. |
Palm Harbor is unincorporated Pinellas County, so county tree protection rules apply generally. Grand and protected trees typically require review before removal, while dead or clearly hazardous trees are handled under a separate provision, and we document defects with photographs during the estimate to support that determination. Lansbrook, Innisbrook and other planned communities layer their own architectural and course-adjacent restrictions on top of county rules, and we confirm both the county requirement and the HOA or course management rule before scheduling work near a fairway or preserve buffer.
