"The crew did a great job of cutting down the trees and raking up all the debris around the area. Bobby was very kind and cut up two logs for the fireplace for us and gave me some advice on how to trim back another small tree on my property. I am very pleased with the work performed and would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone needed tree work. Great job!"

Called several tree service companies on Angie's list for estimates.  Needed to call/email twice to Experience Tree Service.  Once contact was made responded within 24 hours.  During the estimate process apologized for not getting back to initial call.  Asbel, owner, advised that he was having problems with voice mail calls on his business phone.  

 Was given an estimate of $1500.00 for the listed service.  This was over $500.00 LESS than other tree companies.  He also advised that I needed a tree removal permit, which he included in this price (other company was going to charge an additional $85.00).  I agreed to his estimate and hired him for the job.  I emailed him information for the tree permit request and he did the paperwork with the county.

 On Saturday March 29, 2014 he arrived with a thee person crew and completed the work.  I asked for several other branches to be trimmed, not on original quote, and he did them at no charge.  Property was cleaned and both neighbors driveway were cleared of any possible debris.  Job took less that 1/2 day.  Great Job Asbel.

"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 have used Mid-Florida tree service for years and loved them, but this time I dealt with a new arborist-in-training since the arborist I have always worked with was unavailable. I requested the removal of a low-hanging branch, but, due to a 50/50 misunderstanding, the wrong branch (a cherished, fern-covered, beautiful branch that gave me privacy from the neighbors) was removed. Further, the crew damaged our gate/fence with the truck and left deep ruts in our yard. 
Though all these things were distressing, I would not be writing this review except for the arborist's lack of follow-through. The work was done on Monday, and that day, he apologized about the branch, and I told him that, given everything, I thought we were due a partial refund. I planned to use the money to purchase a large staghorn fern or two and heavy-duty hangers to fill the empty spot. He said he'd look into the refund and promised that the fence and ruts would be repaired that week. I never heard back from anyone that week. The next week, after he got my message from the week before, he did send out a man who did an excellent job repairing my fence and gate, and that man left some buckets of dirt for us to fill the ruts ourselves. I spoke with the arborist a second time, and he said he'd look into a partial refund. No one has ever contacted me again.
I am disappointed with the lack of response from Mid-Florida Tree Service.

"Austin and his crew (Shane, Franky, and Kenny) were very professional, knowledgeable and so polite. They all worked well together as we had several trees removed and all stumps grinded. The area that we did looks so much better, open and neat. Anyone looking to have trimming or tree removal call Austin he is the best. I would recommend Choppers to anyone, and I will be having them do some additional work at a later date. Also, the pricing is so reasonable. Austin and his crew shows up on time always calls ahead to let you know they are on the way, does the work promised, cleans up and what ever the estimate is that what you pay. It is so refreshing to have a company you hire to do exactly what they say. Choppers is my tree service people for now on."

"I was very pleased with the work by Adam and his team! They cut down three trees and trimmed two others for me. Their price was competitive. Their crew arrived on schedule and was very conscientious about cleanup and precision of their work. I would definitely use them again! Roy Brown"

"We selected Tropiscapes to landscape our yard, and found this company to be exemplary in every way. Mike Garth, the owner of the company, promptly contacted us after we called, and came out to give an estimate for all the work we wanted done. We had our front and side yards completely remodeled, and also had a small patio and pavers around the flower beds installed in the back yard. Mike and every person on his crew is deserving of the highest praise. They were always on time and dedicated to the job. This was a long and complex project, involving removal of all existing sod, vastly overgrown plantings and bushes, and working through impossible tree roots to install new sod, raised flower beds, and all new bushes and plantings. Everyone worked so diligently and conscientiously in the heat and sometimes even the rain to do an outstanding job, and they didn't stop until the project was completed. They also cleaned up the property every day before they left. They are the BEST! Mike's impressive qualifications and experience is really evident in his work. He was so helpful in advising of the viability of the plants we wanted, and patiently worked with us to get everything just the way we wanted it to look. Our favorite part of the yard is the spectacular beauty of the stacked, stone border wall, which was so artfully constructed in a curving pattern around the flower beds. Tropiscapes is the company to contact for beautiful landscaping, dependability, and exceptional customer service. Our yard looks like a work of art, and they have our highest recommendation!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
