"I’m very pleased with the professional work by a licensed, certified arborist from Florida Foliage of Central Florida. We have an oak tree and a magnolia out front, an overgrown hedge on the side, and a huge magnolia in back. All are about 12 years old and have never been trimmed. These guys know their stuff, and the work was completed quickly. They have a truck with a claw that will come and pick up the pile of branches and leaves in the pile next to the street. Thank You!"

"Our backyard was completely overgrown and not usable. We had ABC sitework come in and clear all the brush/small trees. Now we have a whole new backyard to use. The dogs can roam and play."

"They installed rock, flowers, cleared shrubs, fertilized plants. Before putting In rock, they prepped the ground.. They were here when they said they would be!. If late, they texted. They were neat, thorough and professional. We were so pleased we asked them to trim our bushes monthly. Please consider them. They perform outstanding work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In Ocala, choose a tree service provider with active liability insurance, strong local references, and certifications such as ISA Certified Arborist. Request written estimates and confirm experience with native tree species and local regulations. The Ocala Planning & Zoning Department advises avoiding contractors who solicit door-to-door, demand full payment upfront, or offer unusually low bids, as these can be warning signs of unreliable service.

Helpful?

In Ocala, safety during tree service involves wearing protective gear such as helmets, gloves, and safety glasses, and always inspecting for overhead power lines. It's essential to call 811 to locate underground utilities before digging. The Ocala Planning & Zoning Department recommends establishing a secure work zone and using only trained professionals for climbing or operating equipment, especially during unpredictable weather or after storms.

Helpful?

In Ocala, follow-up after tree service includes annual inspections for mature trees and pruning every two to three years, depending on the species. Palm trees may require more frequent trimming, while valuable or historic trees benefit from periodic fertilization. The Ocala Planning & Zoning Department recommends removing dead branches and monitoring for pests or disease. Consistent maintenance helps keep your landscape healthy and resilient against severe weather.

Helpful?

In Ocala, homeowners may encounter extra costs related to permit application fees, stump removal, or hauling debris from difficult locations. Tree work near utility lines often requires coordination with utility companies, which can add complexity. Emergency services after storms may involve additional steps. According to the Ocala Planning & Zoning Department, projects requiring root barriers or soil restoration may also involve further expenses beyond standard tree removal.

Helpful?

In Ocala, a permit is required for removing most trees with a trunk diameter greater than six inches, and certain protected species have stricter regulations. Before starting any tree work, consult the Ocala Planning & Zoning Department to confirm requirements and identify protected trees. Residents in homeowners associations should also review HOA guidelines, as additional rules may apply. Emergency removals after storms may be expedited but still require notification.
