Spring Hill is unincorporated, so Hernando County's tree code applies rather than a city ordinance, and Florida's hazard-tree statute applies for documented dangerous trees on home lots. Most Spring Hill calls are for pines and laurel oaks that have grown big over houses, storm-damaged trees and grinding old stumps.
Big trees on sandy lots
Much of Spring Hill was built on sandy ground among pines and oaks, and many of those trees were left standing between the houses. Decades on, they tower over roofs and driveways, and a share of them are declining.
Our Hudson crews reach Spring Hill quickly, so booked visits and storm calls are both close at hand.
Spring Hill owners also call about trees on the property line, where a neighbor's pine leans over their roof. We assess the tree, explain the options and work with both owners where we can, since most of those jobs go easier with everyone agreeing first.
What Spring Hill trees need
Pines that were healthy when the houses went in can weaken after drought, root damage from construction or bark beetle attack, and those close to homes are worth checking after dry spells and storms. Laurel oaks are reaching the age when decay sets in.
Old stumps are common on Spring Hill lots, and grinding them out lets lawns and beds be restored.
Hernando rules in Spring Hill
Spring Hill is unincorporated and follows Hernando County's tree code, not a city ordinance, so the rules differ from those a few miles south in Pasco County. Florida Statute 163.045 still lets a homeowner remove a dangerous tree without a local permit when an ISA-certified arborist documents the risk. We confirm the county requirement first. We check the county code each time.
