Two Lakes, One Town
Leesburg's location shapes almost every tree job we do here. Homes on Lake Harris and Lake Griffin carry cypress, red maple and oaks along the shoreline, and shoreline ground can remain spongy for months at a time. Uphill, the older neighborhoods around downtown and Venetian Gardens are shaded by live oaks and laurel oaks that have grown wide over many decades. Out past the city limits along US-27, SR-44 and the roads toward Okahumpka, the land opens into pasture, horse property and hay fields with pine and oak hammocks.
In-Town Lots: Pruning and Removal
Older Leesburg homes were often built close to the street with large trees between the house and the sidewalk. We do tree trimming to keep limbs off roofs, away from service lines and high enough for trucks to pass. When an oak has a rotten base, a split trunk or dead top, a planned tree removal in sections keeps the house, fence and neighbors' property safe. Finish options include grinding or full stump removal when you plan to build or pave over the spot.
Leesburg also has a large number of retirees and 55-plus communities, where residents want trees kept tidy without having to climb ladders or haul branches themselves. We work with homeowners, property managers and HOA boards to schedule pruning of common-area oaks and palms, and we leave walkways and streets swept when the crew pulls out.
Rural Leesburg: Pasture, Fence Lines and Homesites
Many landowners around Leesburg are reclaiming pasture that has filled in with dog fennel, wax myrtle, pine saplings and palmetto, or opening a few wooded acres for a new house or barn. We handle that with:
- A forestry mulcher to knock down brush and small trees quickly
- A wheel loader with log grapple for large trunks and stumps
- Fence-line clearing so new fencing can go in straight
- Full land clearing for building sites, followed by grading
For lighter jobs, our brush clean up service clears overgrown corners without touching the trees you want to keep.
Storms and the Harris Chain
Lake County is far enough inland to weaken most hurricanes, but strong storms still reach Leesburg with damaging gusts and heavy rain, and summer squalls can flatten a stand of pines in minutes. When trees come down across a driveway or onto a roof, we cut them free, stack or chip the wood and haul it away through our debris removal service.
We also serve the rest of the chain, including Tavares and Eustis, and neighboring The Villages.
