"Unbelievable improvement in the way our house looks. Gene, one of the owners, was extremely helpful and honest on initial visit and gave very detailed list of what would be done to each tree and estimate. The arborist confirmed Gene’s recommendation that the old oak was a hazard. Crew arrived on time. Safety was a priority which I appreciated. It was amazing to watch the crew work together. Clean up took place as soon as each limb touched the ground. Tree was very close to our house and the large limbs and tree trunk were lowered to crew below without touching the fence directly below the tree. When work was completed, there was no debris, not even leaves, on the grass, driveway, sidewalk, street or pool. Definitely recommend A-Absolute and will use them again when needed."

"My yard was a mess and I did not know where to start. Trees have fallen, rotten tree trunks and trees were also growing into the fence and into my neighbor's property. I was referred to Tucker's tree service by a close friend and I am so thankful. Tucker came out looked at everything and gave me an affordable estimate. He was quick to respond, professional and understanding. He did the tree cutting, grinding and hauled away everything. I would not hesitate to use his tree company again nor would I have a problem referring him to anyone. When I was asked to leave a review on here for him, I felt like it was the least I could do for all his help."

"The two trees on the side are shade blocking the sun make it difficult for any grass to grow under them. I am changing to a different more shade tolerant grass in Oct or November for that area. I had used them before to trim the trees but I never assume everything as far as licensing is the same. When you are trimming trees overhanging your house you have to be careful. They have an Arborist which is also important. I could not tell you how many people came to do the job with no current license. They left it, could not find it or it had expired. Rebecca gave me hers for her company and I checked and it was valid. She even arranged to do some minor leveling stump grinding to make it easier for the riding mower and for the grass to lie flat when I plant it in the fall and they did not even break any of my inground sprinklers. i even added my 4 palms and my Robellini. TOP CLASS WORK!"

"I’ve used MJ Family Tree Service multiple times now, and they’ve done an excellent job every single time. They’re always professional, on time, and the quality of work is top notch. Most recently, they trimmed a large tree over my driveway and did an amazing job. They were very careful with the work, cleaned everything up thoroughly afterward, and left the area looking great. It’s hard to find companies that are this reliable and consistent nowadays. I highly recommend MJ Family Tree Service to anyone needing tree work done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In Clearwater, a tree removal permit is generally required for any tree over 4 inches in diameter, and additional approval is needed for heritage or protected species. The City of Clearwater Development Services Department oversees these permits, often requiring an arborist assessment. For the most accurate guidance, consult the City of Clearwater's municipal code and the Florida Department of Agriculture for state-level tree regulations before starting any tree service project.

Helpful?

After tree service in Clearwater, ongoing maintenance includes periodic pruning every few years, annual inspections by a certified arborist, and proper fertilization—especially for native and storm-prone species. Deep watering during dry spells and refreshing mulch are also recommended. Following guidelines from the City of Clearwater and the Florida Department of Agriculture helps ensure your trees remain healthy and resilient against local weather conditions.

Helpful?

Choosing DIY tree service in Clearwater might seem cost-effective, but it carries significant risks, especially around large trees or power lines, which require compliance with city and utility regulations. Professional tree service providers are trained, insured, and familiar with local permit requirements, reducing liability and ensuring proper care. Improper DIY work can damage protected species or violate city codes, so assess your experience and the project's complexity carefully.

Helpful?

Completing tree service in Clearwater offers immediate safety improvements by removing hazardous limbs and enhances curb appeal. Over the long term, regular tree maintenance helps protect against hurricane damage, supports healthy tree growth, and can increase property value. Well-cared-for trees also provide better shade and energy efficiency. The City of Clearwater and local arborists recommend proactive care to maximize these benefits for your landscape.

Helpful?

When arranging tree service in Clearwater, homeowners may encounter separate fees for obtaining permits, debris removal, and stump grinding, which are not always included in initial estimates. Projects near power lines may require extra safety measures, as regulated by the City of Clearwater and local utility authorities. Additionally, hurricane preparedness work or emergency response can lead to additional visits, so request a detailed, itemized estimate before work begins.
