Updated October 2026
Hudson is unincorporated Pasco County, home to our head office, so the 2026 county tree code applies: native trees 5 inches or larger need a removal permit and non-native trees are generally exempt. The most common Hudson jobs are coastal palm cleaning, removing aging pines and laurel oaks, and storm cleanup.
Close to home
Hudson sits on the Pasco coast just south of the Hernando line, with canal-front homes near the Gulf and older inland neighborhoods. Salt wind shapes the trees near the water, and inland lots carry the pines and oaks typical of the area.
Because our head office is here, Hudson calls are often the fastest to reach, whether for a booked visit or a tree that came down overnight.
Hudson's coastal storms bring wind and water together, and saturated sandy soil lets shallow-rooted trees go over. Checking trees near the house before the season starts, and cleaning palms of loose fronds, keeps more of them standing when a storm comes through.
Coastal trees and inland pines
Near the Gulf, palms and salt-tolerant trees dominate, and they need cleaning before storms rather than heavy cutting. Inland, slash pines and laurel oaks planted decades ago are the common removals, especially those leaning toward houses after past storms.
Canal-front lots may also have mangroves, which follow the state trimming law rather than the county tree code.
Pasco rules in Hudson
Hudson follows unincorporated Pasco County's 2026 tree code: native trees 5 inches DBH or larger need a removal permit, non-native trees are generally exempt, and multi-trunk trees are measured as one. Mangroves on canal-front lots fall under the state mangrove law instead, with its own height limits. We check both before any work near the water. We check the water side carefully.
