Hillsborough County

Tree Service in Carrollwood, Florida

A 1960s planned community whose original canopy has all aged out at once.

The Carrollwood canopy

Carrollwood was laid out in the late 1950s and 60s around Lake Carroll, and the streets were planted at the same time - mostly laurel oaks, camphors and slash pines, with live oaks on the larger Village lots. Nearly the entire street canopy is the same age, which is exactly the problem: it is reaching the end of its span together.

What drives tree work here

  • Laurel oaks at 55-65 years old are hollowing at the base and dropping limbs across the neighborhood.
  • Camphor trees planted as street trees are brittle, invasive and drop heavy limbs in summer storms.
  • Mature canopy over 1960s roofs and screened enclosures means clearance pruning is a recurring need, not a one-off.
  • HOA architectural and landscape rules in Carrollwood Village affect removal and replacement planting.
