Serving Keystone · Hillsborough County
Your tree crew in Keystone
Rural estates and lakefront acreage under grand old oaks. Removal, trimming, stumps and storm cleanup — handled by the same licensed & insured H&M crew, with free estimates and honest advice.
Tree care in Keystone, the local version
Keystone is northwest Hillsborough's estate country: gated acreage, equestrian properties and lakefront homes under grand oaks that predate every house near them. Owners here are custodians of serious trees, and the work reflects it — careful structural pruning, hurricane preparation, and removals big enough to need every piece of equipment we own.
Around Lake Keystone and the smaller lakes, we work soft shorelines with tracked machines and rigging so a big removal doesn't leave big scars.
Permits in Hillsborough County
Keystone is unincorporated Hillsborough County — the county's tree ordinance protects larger species, and lakefront work can carry extra rules. We confirm permits as part of every estimate.

Keystone questions, answered
Who takes care of big oaks on Keystone properties?
H&M Tree Service works Keystone's estate and lakefront properties from our base a few miles away in Lutz — structural pruning, hurricane-season weight reduction and removals, with a certified arborist on staff. Free written estimates: (813) 751-5732.
Can you clear part of my Keystone acreage without wrecking the rest?
Yes — selective clearing is the point. We take out the marked trees and underbrush, protect the keepers' root zones, and haul the debris with our own grapple truck so the finished land is usable, not rutted. It's quoted free after walking the parcel with you.
How should I prepare a heavily wooded Keystone property for hurricane season?
Three moves, in order: remove standing dead trees (the guaranteed fallers), thin and weight-reduce the big canopies nearest structures, and clear deadwood over driveways and power drops so you're not cut off after the storm. A pre-season walk-through with our arborist is free and turns that into a written plan.
