Tree service for Lakewood Park — big pines, canal lots and no HOA
Twelve thousand people on the unincorporated grid north of Fort Pierce, on quarter- and half-acre lots where the slash pines were never cleared and now tower over the houses.
Lakewood Park sits north of Fort Pierce between Indrio Road and the Indian River County line — a General Development grid of quarter- and half-acre lots along drainage canals, built with concrete-block homes from the late 1960s through the '80s and still filling in today. It's unincorporated St. Lucie County, with the county's tree rules and no HOA, and the lots kept their trees: slash pines 80 feet tall and shallow-rooted, laurel oaks now at the end of their life, live oaks worth keeping, and the palms every yard added. The pines are the story — they shed limbs on roofs every summer and go over whole when a wet season and a tropical storm coincide.
Twenty minutes up the Turnpike, we cover Lakewood Park with the crews that work Fort Pierce: pine removal by crane where they lean over the house and by climbing where there's room, laurel oak removals, live oak pruning, palm trimming, stump grinding, lot clearing for the infill lots still being built, and storm cleanup staged for the county haulers. St. Lucie County's tree ordinance protects larger trees on developed lots and requires a permit for clearing; we check and file what's required.

Questions from Lakewood Park homeowners
The pine leans toward my house — how urgent?
A slash pine that leans, has a lifting root plate or has lost its top is a removal, not a pruning, and the sooner the better before the next tropical system. A leaner over the house usually comes out by crane in a morning.
Do I need a county permit to remove a tree in Lakewood Park?
St. Lucie County protects larger trees on developed lots and requires a permit for lot clearing. We check the size and the rules for your lot and file what's required.
Can you clear an infill lot?
Yes — with the county permit, selective clearing, stumps ground below grade and the lot left build-ready.
Can you drop a tree near the canal?
We plan the drop zone away from the bank and rig anything that can't be felled cleanly. Nothing goes in the water.
How far is Lakewood Park from you?
About twenty minutes up the Turnpike or US-1 from Port St. Lucie. Our Fort Pierce crews are there most weeks.
