EXCELLENTBased on 62 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Graham Shanks2024-10-16I am a Community Manager in Lake County. Prior to hurricane Milton, I had walked through our association with Kat to get a bid on some trees that needed removal. After the storm, of course, everything went sideways *literally.* Kat was prompt and honest about needing to push back the scheduled service for about a week (which could wait as none of those trees fell in Milton). I understood the situation as vendors need to prioritize urgent issues for their customers. He was in my community the day after the storm at a homeowner's house addressing a much more pressing concern than the ones on our schedule. But on a follow up call, I discussed the trees that were potential hazards to the community, as I was reaching out to several vendors for any sort of answer, Kat came out looked at the situation and had us on the calendar in 48 hours. While he usually has a team, he came out himself as they were servicing the other engagements. He fell three 20 year oaks, cut them down and cleared our streets in record time. His methods were safe and his quotes were EXTREMELY cost-effective. He was a pleasure to work with and I will be recommending his services to my fellow CAMs, however, I would recommend his services to anyone looking for competent, cost-effective and simply stellar tree-removal service. Great Job, Kat. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Cindy McKeown2024-10-12I would give 10 stars to Kat if I could! During Hurricane Milton this week, we had half our tree fall on our front yard and it blocked the road and our residents in the neighborhood. I contacted Kat and he prioritized our tree due to the emergency circumstances. He is highly professional, incredibly easy to work with, and provided outstanding service to us at a time where we were in a highly stressful situation due to the hurricane. I would highly recommend Kat to anyone. Thank you Kat!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ken Ebersole2024-10-08Honest, hard working fast service, job well done, highly recommended.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tina Goddard2024-10-01Had a cat stuck in tree for 3 days Kat's tree svc. came right away and climbed right up the tree with some type rope climbing he did and got her right down and she was high up.Excellent svc. And response. Very very nice man. I was a basket case worried about cat as I had been hearing her cry for days and could not find her till today spotted her in tree and had spent most of the day trying to get her down on our own with no luck. He was very positive, confident and encouraging he could get her down and he did!!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.TONI BRIGGS2024-09-06I just can't say enough about Kat. He exceeded my expectations. I'm so happy with his work, that I'm blasting it all over social media, which I have never complemented anyone before. You won't be sorry if you hire this young man. He's worth more than 5 stars.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kevin Lare2024-07-29My wife and I had a complicated tree trimming project over our pool.

Have a Question?
Here is a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions we recieve along with our answers.
Yes, Kats Tree Service is fully licensed and insured to provide Tree Removal, Tree Trimming, Land Clearing, and Stump Grinding Services. Our COI is available upon request and our license number is L19000246299 click link to redirect to sunbiz for verification.
Contracting a Tree Service in Lake County to come out and perform basic tree trimming and maintenance pruning typically costs anywhere between $1,500-$4,500 Per day. The price will vary greatly depending on who you hire, the scope of work required, the standard that company holds themselves too, the location of the trees, and the access available to process and remove the debris.
Typically our costs range from $400 to $1,200 per job on the low end with the high-end range around $1500-$2500 per day. Again, this all varies with the scope of work on the project that we are contracted for.
Tree Removal costs will vary between $1,500 to $7,500+ per tree. The typical tree removal project will involve Climbing the tree, dismantling it in a controlled manner, staging/stacking all of the debris throughout the process, once the tree is completely down it will be hauled away and a final clean up of the property will be provided. The cost will be dependent on the size and location of the tree, obstacles or structures beneath or around the tree, access to work the area, amount of loads of debris to be hauled away, as well as what equipment will be needed to handle the project efficiently. The price will vary greatly between different Tree Service providers due to overhead, business model, and the number of employees.
The average cost of having a Tree Service come out to prune a tree is $460. Generally, the price will range between $350-$1,500. Topping a tree (a controversial practice, we should point out) should always be avoided as it causes unnecessary damage to the the health and structure of the Tree which will increase the chance for premature limb failure and property damage down the road. This practice allows for sporadic re growth of shoots which then turn into limbs with limited structure at the branch collar unions. If you have a Tree Service reccomending this service or advertising for Tree Topping we suggest you look elsewhere. In order to avoid this we suggest crown reduction pruning in order to to reshape the tree in a way that will reduce risk to your property, the health of the tree, and allow you and your trees to live together in harmony . For a tree 30-60 feet, plan to spend $175-$400, and $200-$1,800 to trim a tree over 60 feet.
- Contact multiple Tree Services in your area. A simple Google search can tell you alot about a company before you even contact them. Ask about their experience and how long they have been in business. The more experience that a Tree Service has, the more likely it is that they will know how to do the job the right way and see it through until completion. Keep in mind skilled labor isn’t cheap and cheap labor isn’t skilled. A “Cheap Tree Guy” can become very expensive in a hurry.
- Check their Qualifications. Are They Registered with the State? The International Society of Arboriculture, BBB, ect…
- Check the Reviews. As stated above a simple Google search will give you a lot of information on the Tree Service you are in contact with. It will show you their reviews across all platforms and what other customers have had to say about them in the past.
- Ask About Insurance. Are they properly insured for Tree Service? Tree Service insurance is much different than most other General Liability policies in that you need to be covered to work at heights. Do they carry Workers Comp?
- The Services They Offer. An established Company will stay busy year round simply Trimming & Removing Trees or Dealing with over grown vegetation. It’s always a red flag to me if they’re advertising for other services as most of us can hardly keep up with the work load of Trees alone.
Complexity. The process of climbing and working Trees is not only a very labor intensive task, but it’s also one of the most dangerous trades out of any industry. Without the Proper Knowledge, Training, and Experience it can lead to costly Property Damage, Severe Personal Injury, or even Death. This is a job that most people don’t want to do as we are climbing anywhere from 10ft to 100ft, running chainsaws, cutting pieces of trees which weigh hundreds to thousands of pounds, then most of the time rigging and maintaining these pieces in order to avoid property or landscape damage. Trees being removed often times need to be cut apart one section at a time to avoid dropping whole tree sections onto the property or into traffic. Specialized equipment is needed, such as Personal Protective Equipment ie: Hard Hats, Chainsaw Protection, Eye Protection, Proffesional Climbing Gear, Specialty Ropes, Rigging Tools, Multiple Chainsaws, etc. This equipment is costly to acquire and maintain. Then you also have to take into account Taxes,Payroll Costs, Marketing, License & Insurance, Fuel, Dump Fees, Maintenance, among other miscellaneous costs.
Absolutley! We always aim for zero impact tree work. What this means is that we try and disrupt the surrounding landscape as little as possible when working on your trees. We rarely use Heavy Equipment Ie: Bucket Trucks, Aerial Lifts, Etc. As a Climbing Arborist I’m able to climb and work 90% of the jobs I’m contracted to do without the use of heavy equipment. Furthermore, by utilizing proper rigging we can lower down the larger pieces in a controlled manner to avoid damage to the lawn and surrounding property.
