"They came on a Sunday and gave me an estimate and I thought it was reasonable so we made plans for them to come back on Monday and they took the tree down and then we made plans to grind the stump. He gave me a price fore that and on Wed they came and grinded the stump. I told him there was a tree that I wanted moved to a different part of my yard and he said it would have to wait till after the holidays and I agreed so I will contact him again to set up a date to move the tree for me. They were cordial and did what they said they would do and everyone was happy."

From land development and cost planning to complete project oversight. Decades of experience, on time, on budget, and built to last. Call today to protect your property and bring your project to life!

"We hired RSC in late 2024 for a full home renovation. At first, the process was reasonable but it became clear the cost + budget were overrun. When the problem was identified, Richard became defensive, combative, and unreasonable. He was verbally abusive and threatening over WhatsApp and telephone. I had to order a stop work. The new Project Manager was great. The office manager Tina was wonderful. However, they both were the 2nd individuals in those roles - way too much turnover on the team to feel confident with progress. Richard himself is a nightmare to work with - we asked for a warranty repair in October 2025 after the work was completed and ended up in an email argument with Richard where he threatened us (again) with legal action. The process of working with Richard is chaotic, stressful, and he is not trustworthy. I do not recommend. "

A Sun State Trees, Inc. is a family owned and Operated tree service in Florida since 1992. The father with the help of his sons and daughters help him run a company that started out as a small lawn maintenance business. When Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992, the owner, his son, and a few friends removed trees that had fallen and damaged home after home for 6 months. A Sun State Trees was one of the first companies in Florida to successfully use boom truck cranes to safely and quickly remove enormous old trees. The company grew in a positive direction and the demand for professional tree service annually grew as did our experience. Our successes and mistakes has helped craft the procedures, training and safety limits of our industries modern Arboriculture services:

"r Review Over all it was a complete disaster. The provider was scheduled to began the job on October 3, 2025 at 9:00am. The workers went to wrong address to begin with once they realized they were at the wrong address they made their way two houses down to my home. We spoke briefly verifying my address after which we lead them to the backyard showing them the tree to be cut down. We then went inside. Shortly after hearing the chain saw we hear a loud thump that we later observed was a very large parts of the top of the tree laying on the ground. Soon after a second thump that sounded as if the tree had falling through the earth and the workers simultaneously laughing because they dodged the tree and it looked like it had fallen too close to my window for my comfort. We returned to watching TV. and a few minutes later what sounded like a tree had fallen through the roof in my laundry room. I immediately jumped up to investigate but there was no visible damage that I could see from inside the house. The roof was in tact from the inside. We then went to the side of the house to take a look but didn’t go too far or stay out there too long because we just didn’t feel safe. However my fiance’ did manage to take a couple of pictures that I was aware that he took. After returning inside I set up my iPad and began recording. They were making me very uneasy. But after recording for a few minutes and nothing else seemed to be happening I shut it off. Low in behold about 30 or 40 minutes after I stopped recording. We heard a very loud boom and the power went out. We immediately ran outside to see what was going on. We observed the meter on the side of my home was detached. I was in total shock at what I was seeing. I couldn’t find the words. My fiancé asked them what they were doing and told them they had knocked the power out and showed them the damaged meter. and told them the electric was out and they needed to fix it. One of the workers who appeared to be the leader or boss pulled a cell phone out his pocket and began speaking in Spanish to someone after the conversation ended he spoke to us in English and stated his boss was on the way. We went inside of the house waiting for the boss to come. The workers continued to work, some of them were cutting the parts of the tree that was on the ground into smaller pieces others were roping and clearing the tree off my home and the neighbors property where they allowed some of the tree to land cutting it into smaller logs and hauling it away to the curb and putting the smaller tree limbs in the tree chipper. We had no idea that the were working so aggressively because the were packing up to leave as fast as they could. My fiancé asked me why it was taking so long for “the boss” to show up and advised my to call Troy. I did so and he was completely unaware that they had damaged my home. Troy advised me that me telling him was the first he had heard of it. It was approximately noon when I spoke to him. I told him that the job was not done and they were loading up and appear to be leaving. Troy then advised me that he would get into with the boss and get back with me. He called me back and said that his boss was making no sense but he would figure it out and get back to me. However I never heard from the boss. Someone called me from the office and said she stated that had spoken to someone at OUC and they were going to come to my home to see they could put up an emergency line and they would be contacting me. I asked her if they can not what is am I to do I was the weekend. She said that the boss said for me to get a hotel and he would reimburse me. I returned home to wait on OUC and when we arrived OUC had already been to my home and left however they left a card on the door stating they had turn the power completely off for safety reasons and had removed the meter completely from my home for safety reasons. Unbeknownst to me when the tree fell and knocked the meter off it sparked a fire. Therefore I had no other choice but to vacate my home. An electrician was sent to my home on Monday 6th. to replace my meter. However he went downtown to get the permit and wasn’t allowed. I had to do that part. He advised me that the boss ask me to pay for the permit and he would reimburse me. I told him I was not going to pay out my pocket for anything else. So he advised me to call him and he would pay the cashier over the phone and this is how I was able to receive a permit. He completed his work and handed me the bill which was $1082.00 I asked him why was he giving me the bill and he stated that the boss said that I would pay it and he would reimburse me. I told him absolutely not. I was not paying him I have not spoken to the “boss” that he told him a lie. I called Troy and Troy said he didn’t understand why he would say that, but why he and I was still on the phone the boss called the electrician and paid him for the work. I found that to be very odd of him. But it also let me know he was trying to get over on me and he had no intentions of reimbursing me for my lodging. So the boss finally called me and asked what happened I told him and I also mentioned to him that they didn’t finish the job. He said that a roofer was also coming to repair the damage to my home as well and that he would also finish the the tree job. When the roofer arrived on Tuesday 7th. He said he would have to come back to complete the tree job because no one explained that he would need equipment he didn’t know the tree was as big as it is and that it was growing through my fence. I explained to him when Troy came out to give a an estimate he said that since I was replacing the fence that it wouldn’t be a problem. The boss calls me after the roofer left and said he was not going to bring his 1000.00 equipment to do the job because it would ruin the equipment. I advised him that I have an invoice that says otherwise. I called him to speak to him about my lodging and the food that was lost due to me not having power for over four days and his cell went straight to voicemail. I couldn’t leave a message because the voicemail was full. So I texted him and he said for me to take it off the bill I owe home I advised him I owe him absolutely nothing and reminded him that job was not complete. He began texting me and I advised him under no circumstances that I would be going backwards and forward with him . I told him under no circumstances but one that he should text me again unless he is telling me when, where, and how I can get the money he told me he would reimburse me. However he continued and used profanity and I was done. I didn’t respond to his unprofessionalism. I have not had any communication with him since."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

The cost of professional tree trimming is $460 on average. The price could range from $75 to $1,800, depending on the size and type of the tree and the time of year. Tree trimming services are typically more costly in the spring, so waiting until the off-season might save you some money on this project.

The type of tree vastly impacts the overall cost, mainly due to the size of the branches. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees cost an average of $80 to $400, whereas giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.
