Sun City Center is unincorporated Hillsborough County, so the county's tree rules apply, and the community association usually adds its own approval step for removals and replacements. Common jobs are palm cleaning before storm season, removing declining oaks near homes, trimming limbs off roofs and lanais and storm cleanup.
Golf courses, ponds and palms
Sun City Center's neighborhoods are laid out around golf courses and ponds, with palms and oaks lining the streets and yards. Many homeowners want the trees kept tidy and safe with as little disruption as possible.
Our Tampa service office covers south Hillsborough, a straight run down the interstate, and jobs are scheduled at times that suit residents.
Many residents prefer one visit that handles everything at once: palms cleaned, limbs lifted off the lanai and an old stump ground out. Crews keep the noise and mess short and leave the yard raked and clean.
What Sun City Center trees need
Palms need their dead fronds and seed stalks cleaned before hurricane season, with the green crown left full. Oaks near homes need limbs lifted off roofs and lanais, and laurel oaks past their lifespan are better removed before a storm takes them down.
Trees around ponds and along golf course edges get the same storm preparation, with care taken to keep debris out of the water.
