 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted them for a consultation regarding several large oak trees on a very large property in The Villages. The service was fast, professional, and excellent from start to finish. They were extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a clear, concise Certified Arborist Report that gave us exactly the information we needed. I was very impressed with their expertise and responsiveness. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in The Villages needing tree services or a certified arborist consultation!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m very meticulous about who is hired to perform complex tree removal tasks. Kats Tree Service was chosen to remove three large Chinaberry Trees because owner Katlin is an experienced professional, an educated ISA Certified Arborist, Florida licensed, and adequately insured, possessing all the necessary state-of-the-art equipment to perform such tree care tasks safely and responsibly. Kats Tree Service completed the project within the designated timeframe, for the accepted price, and to my complete satisfaction.

Was looking for an ISA Certified Arborist company that would not tear up my yard with huge equipment while trimming and removing a tree. Kats Tree Service was perfect with slim profile equipment.  Extremely neat and polite to work with, would highly recommend them for any tree trimming or removal in the Fruitland Park area.

If you are looking for a certified arborist in Harbor Hills or Lady Lake, Florida, look no further! Kat’s Tree Service did an amazing job for me. I had two large oaks in the backyard that needed to be trimmed way back to make room for a new swimming pool and screen enclosure.  During the initial consultation for an estimate, everything regarding the job was explained to me. And as an arborist Kat explained the importance of waiting a couple of months to avoid the extreme summer heat in order to reduce the stress on the trees due to the number of large branches that were to be removed. Pre-and post-work communication were excellent and, most importantly, Kat showed up when he said he would, did a great job, and the entire work area was cleaned of any debris. I am very satisfied with his work and would definitely call Kat again for any future needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kats Tree Service is super professional and extremely prompt. I live in Fruitland Park, Florida and I needed an ISA Certified Arborist to perform a tree risk assessment on four trees on my property.  I called three different companies for pricing of this service. One of them never called me back, another called me back 2 days later, acted like they didn't even want to provide me the service I was requesting and then gave me a ridiculously high price quote just for the assessment. Kat called me back very quickly, gave me an extremely fair price and set an appointment that worked with my  restrictive schedule. He showed up promptly the very next morning and performed the assessment. He explained and advised everything concerning the trees and then provided to me a very detailed tree risk assessment report within a few hours on the same day. This is the most prompt and professional service that I have ever experienced from any service, company that would be involved with managing your property.

I contacted Kats Tree Service because I moved into a mobile home in Leesburg, FL with a large tree canopy over it.

I knew I wanted a local company to Leesburg, FL with an ISA Certified Arborist like Kat to conduct a Tree Risk Assessment.  After a comprehensive google search, I contacted Kats Tree Service in Leesburg, FL.

Every contact with Kats Tree Service was phenomenal!.  I left my initial message on the Kats Tree Service website in the later afternoon and soon after he contacted me and we scheduled an appointment.  He confirmed the appointment by text and email and he arrived right on time just as he stated and he immediately went to work and conducted a very comprehensive Tree Risk Assessment.

And as we walked thru the lawn area which has many trees - he educated me in a polite and comprehensive way and informed
Me that the problems that I thought were extreme and mentioned to him - he evaluated as we walked the property and I learned they were not extreme problems and they could be mitigated with out tree removal and for
Much less cost than I had thought.  I received the written Tree Risk Assessment complete report just a few hours later that afternoon with his follow-up communication.

I have not had better service in any area of taking care of my home than I received from Kats Tree Service.   I will need to mitigate my Tree Canopy and I will hire Kats Tree Service to conduct the mitigation because I know I will be getting the best possible tree service in the Leesburg - Lake County area.  I’m very lucky I called Kat’s Tree Service.   I’m also  very grateful for Kat kindly sharing his knowledge and expertise and his just the right touch approach to My tree canopy issues with my new forever home.

Concerned About a Hazardous Tree?

Contact Kat’s Tree Service today to schedule an evaluation directly with ISA Certified Arborist Katlin Burkhardt.

SCHEDULE EVALUATION

Uncertified crews frequently degrade canopy health through destructive techniques like tree topping or lion’s-tailing, creating long-term structural weaknesses and storm liabilities. As an ISA Certified Arborist, I evaluate tree biology and leverage proper arboricultural science to execute pruning that mitigates storm hazards while protecting your property’s long-term value.

Traditional bucket trucks routinely crack residential driveways and chew up landscape turf. I mitigate this risk on every job site by utilizing advanced, lightweight equipment, specialized ground protection matting, and high-precision rigging systems designed specifically for tight residential spaces.

Yes. Kat’s Tree Service is fully insured with comprehensive property liability coverage. Every tree extraction, structural pruning, and hazardous job I perform strictly complies with ANSI A300 industry standards and OSHA safety parameters.
