Land O' Lakes is the northern edge of where we work regularly, and it is worth the drive. Lots here are large, properties are wooded, and there are lakes everywhere, which produces the kind of tree work that actually needs a crew that knows what it is doing.
It is Pasco County, so the rules differ from Hillsborough, and much of it is well outside any city limit.
Lakefront work
Lake Padgett, Lake Thomas and the smaller lakes through the area all have properties with big oaks leaning out over the water on soft, sandy ground. There is usually no way to get a truck to them, so they are climbed and rigged, and the limbs come down over the yard.
Big lots, big trees
Acreage properties out here carry trees that have never been pruned in their lives, some of them genuinely large live oaks with sixty-foot lateral limbs. End weight on a limb like that is what breaks it. Reduction pruning on the long laterals is far cheaper than dealing with what happens when one fails.
Distance and scheduling
Land O' Lakes is the outer edge of our regular area. We serve it at our normal rates, but we will usually try to schedule a couple of jobs up there together, so if you are flexible on the day it can move things along.
Where we work in Land O' Lakes
We cover Land O' Lakes and the surrounding neighborhoods, including Connerton, Ballantrae, Wilderness Lake Preserve, Lake Padgett, Stonegate, Suncoast Meadows and Oakstead.
