Tree service in Grand Haven, done the way the ARB expects
Twenty-five years of growth on the Intracoastal — the oaks are big now, the palms are tall, and the community's rules on how they're cared for are specific. We follow them.
Grand Haven runs along the Intracoastal on Palm Coast's south side — two thousand homes around a Jack Nicklaus course, with live oaks and magnolias that were planted small in the late '90s and are now real shade trees over roofs, lanais and the Village Center. The community's architectural review board has standards for pruning and a process for removals; the City of Palm Coast's tree ordinance sits on top of that. Work done outside either is the fastest way to get a letter.
Our crews are in Grand Haven every month. We prepare the ARB request with an arborist assessment when a tree needs to come down, prune the oaks so they keep their shape and clear the roofs, keep the palms clean without hurricane-cutting them, and do the spring hurricane walk-through for owners who want the big trees over the house looked at before June. Owners who are away for the summer get photos when the work is done.

Questions from Grand Haven homeowners
Do I need ARB approval to remove a tree in Grand Haven?
Yes, for removals and major changes to the front-yard canopy; routine pruning generally doesn't. We prepare the submission with the arborist assessment so it's approved the first time.
And a city permit too?
For trees six inches and up, the City of Palm Coast permit or an arborist's 163.045 letter applies in addition to the ARB. Both are handled on our end.
Can you prune the oak that's over my lanai without changing how it looks?
Yes — reduction cuts at laterals and interior thinning clear the screen and the roof by several feet while keeping the crown's shape. That's the standard the community wants.
Do you have a rate for Grand Haven residents?
Because we're in the community constantly, neighbors scheduled together share mobilization — ask about combining with a neighbor's job.
