Having just purchased a vacant lot in the city of Edgewood, we wanted to get a head start on preparing the land for new home design. Although the vacant lot was mostly clear, we had several sizeable decaying laurel oaks, camphors, and tall queen palms to remove still. One of the large laurel oaks had fallen against a beautiful live oak that was *not* to be harmed. Also, the two trees were near power lines as well, making for a tricky removal. I contacted several tree services that had arborists on staff since our city requires a tree removal permit requiring an arbor report. Most of the arborists I met we friendly, but only one was *clearly* outstanding and won our business immediately (we didn't even get all the quotes yet). Sometimes you just have a "gut" feeling that this is the company you want to go with, and Steve Ogden from Central Florida Arborcare was our man. Steve is an incredibly friendly and knowledgable arborist that emanates the feeling of trust. I had read many great reviews about CFA, and they have been around a long time. Now on to the job! Removing trees (properly that is) takes a bit of pre-work as well. Many cities go to great lengths to protect the landscape in their boundaries and rightfully so. CFA made it easy to obtain the proper permits and approval from our city, and this is the advantage of choosing a service that has a full-time arborist aboard as permitting required an arbor report. A week later, the crew arrived fully prepared with all the different trucks and equipment to handle the job correctly. The team was amiable and quickly established the feeling that they were there to do the job requested and process any requests. I made sure not to micro-manager (please, don't do that), and in return, I felt like I was part of the crew. It was a big job, but they handled it perfectly! I'm sure a couple more trees will need to trimmed or removed on once the house plans are complete, and I *WILL* be using them! Lastly, I want to thank ALL the people I got to work with at CFA, including Steve, Sheila, Cassidy, John, Lee, and the rest of the crew that were so busy that I didn't get their names (sorry). Please make sure to call CFA for an estimate. You won't be disappointed! read more

The land clearing process with a DIFFERENT company had been exhausting, worrisome and caused SUCH anxiety. Honestly after dealing with it for a week, all I wanted is someone to come and say, no problem, we will get this taken care of. Within an hour of a call to ArborCare they had their grapple here, the debris picked up and the job finished. Efficient! Great communication. Professional. Thank you! read more

Central Florida ArborCare - Tree Services Near Me - Apopka, Florida

I can't say enough about Central Florida Arbor Care! This weekend a 50 ft oak fell in our yard, on Monday morning we called and the owner, Steve, came out to do an estimate within an hour of us calling He gave us an INCREDIBLE quote (over $1k cheaper than other estimates) and the following day sent a crew to do the work! We had them remove 3 dead, but still standing trees, the fallen tree and an additional dead limb that was looming over our home. They chipped all the brush, cut the trees for fire wood, raked the entire yard, used a blower to clean the driveway and really left our property in beautiful shape!! They're a Christian owned company and carry $5million in liability and workman's compensation so no risk to the homeowner. I also love that they didn't try to up sell us any unnecessary services, but instead listened to our concerns and addressed our needs. I'll definitely be using them again in the future! read more

We bid a tree removal out to no less than 5 companies and CFL Arborcare came out with the best package. Which was not an easy task since we had a large oak with limited access and a difficult neighbor. Thank you to the team of professionals and salesman Tom ! read more

I've been trying to get these people to come out and send their Certified Arborist Bill, to assess two 20 year old oaks with thinning canopies that I would hate to lose.... After a couple of days of telephone tag and missed appointments (without any notice) I'm done; they say they are short handed and I understand, but then don't make appointments you can't keep. read more

We had 3 large trees that needed to be completely removed and some oak tree branches to be removed. We got estimates from 3 different companies; all came highly recommended. Central Florida Arbor Care was the least expensive and, because they have done work for our neighbors, we decided to go with them. Steve originally told us it would be about 2 weeks before he could get us on his schedule; but they had a cancellation and got us in within the week. Les and his crew arrived promptly on the promised day and worked non-stop until the job was finished. They did such a thorough job, it's hard to even remember that there were trees there. And they were all very pleasant. If we ever have more need of tree services, I will definitely call Central Florida Arbor Care. read more

Today I had 3 20 year old trees trimmed. I am thrilled with the care that the entire crew took to make my yard look well tended. All of the trees were cut to fit the types of trees that they were as well as be safe in the space. The crew had all the equipment needed and were very conscientious of the clean up. The price was very fair and the company carried considerable insurance. They came highly recommended and I in turn will be happy to recommend this company to others. read more

Central Florida ArborCare - Getting my trees hurricane ready! - Tree Services Near Me - Apopka, Florida

I was advised by a "tree trimmer" that my huge oak tree should be cut down, that it was dying. I called Central Florida Arborcare to get a second opinion and was told that it appeared to have been hit by lightning. The technician said the old oaks have a great ability to heal. He suggested some fertilizer and watch for pest invasion, but that the tree should live for another 50 years. Thank you so much Arborcare!!! I have recommended you to others and I will certainly be calling you again with questions about our trees and maintenance. read more

They were able to quickly come out and give me an estimate on removing 2 trees on our back yard. They didn't charge an arm and a leg which was a bonus. Very professional and left the yard cleaner when when they started. Would definitely use them again! read more
