Tree Service in Shalimar, Florida

Shalimar is an incorporated town of about 0.3 square miles, so inside its limits the Town sets the storm debris rules, while Shalimar-addressed neighborhoods such as Lake Lorraine and Poquito Bayou sit outside the town in unincorporated Okaloosa County. Reed Tree Service's climbing crew, working the Emerald Coast now, takes storm-damaged pines and oaks off roofs and fences by working them down in sections. Josh will ask which side of the line your street is on. Call Josh at (850) 888-5603.

About Shalimar & Okaloosa County

The Town of Shalimar is small. Wikipedia, citing the Census Bureau, lists 737 people in about 0.3 square miles at the 2020 census, and the town has its own Town Commission and a Town Hall at 2 Cherokee Road. Its limits are not the same as the Shalimar mailing address. Wikipedia notes that the Lake Lorraine and Poquito Bayou areas carry Shalimar postal addresses but lie outside the incorporated town, in unincorporated Okaloosa County. That line decides who picks up storm debris. Okaloosa County told residents of incorporated municipalities to contact their city or town for debris information, and Waste Management's pre-storm suspension named the Town of Shalimar separately from unincorporated Okaloosa County. The county's own collection began October 14 in unincorporated areas, with a storm debris line at 1-833-495-3664.

Shalimar posts debris instructions on its Hurricane Isaias Updates page, and a Town Hall post asks residents not to put hurricane debris in the dumpster beside Town Hall, which is kept for regular waste. We have not found a published Shalimar rule on debris that a tree crew cuts, so ask Town Hall before you count on the curb.

Eglin Air Force Base lies just north of the town, and its reservation, which also includes Hurlburt Field west of Mary Esther, is known for longleaf pine forests. Shalimar's first homes went up in 1942 to house Eglin officers, so the trees over them have had decades to grow. UF/IFAS Extension lists pine, oak and magnolia as the common trees of the Panhandle's forests, and a hurricane finds the ones with a lean, shallow roots or dead limbs over a roof.

Services We Provide in Shalimar

In Shalimar the work is storm-damaged pines and oaks taken down in sections over houses, fences and carports, limbs cleared from driveways and the way out, crowns trimmed back from roofs, and stumps ground out. Josh moves the cut wood and brush to the road only where the Town or the county will pick it up, and a big job can get haul-off through a sub, quoted on its own.
