Kats Tree Service
Central Florida Forestry Mulching
We are one of Cental Florida's top-ranked Forestry Mulching services. This is the least invasive way of clearing land. It is also the preferred method of land clearing recommended by the Florida Forestry Service. The reason is that it has the least impact on the environment. If you own land that has become overgrown and you're looking to get it back in shape then we can help.
Forestry Mulching
Traditional land-clearing methods consist of using large excavators, bulldozers, and off-road haul trucks in order to remove whole trees, stumps, and roots. Then the debris is generally stacked and burned on site.
Forestry Mulching drastically cuts down on the man-hours, hauling, fuel, and other costs associated with land clearing. It is by far the most efficient way we have found to remove underbrush, sappling trees, and invasive species. This allows us to pass the savings onto the customer as well as help you regain control over your property again.

With our specialized Forestry Mulching equipment we generally only have to bring in one machine that is able to mulch everything down to ground level and process all debris on site. This method leaves the standing mature trees unharmed, has minimal impact on the enviornment, and does not disrupt the soil. The mulch left behind then acts as a barrier, prevents erosion, improves soil content, and provides rich nutrients for the standing trees to absorb.

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.

We go to great lengths in order to capture what we do on video. From capturing the footage on the job, bringing it home, and then editing it to bring it all together. We do this in order to showcase what we are capable of and allow potential customers the opportunity to see the way we do things. This also allows us to remain transparent which is the way we like to operate.

Here is a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions we recieve along with our answers.
Contracting a Forestry Mulching Service to come out and Forestry Mulch one acre ranges from $1,500- $2,500. The price will vary greatly depending on the scope of work required, how heavily wooded the lot is, what kind of terrain is to be delt with, and the access available to get in there to work. Typically our Forestry Mulching Services range from $1,500 an acre or $2,500 per day for larger projects. Again, this all varies with the scope of work that we are contracted for.
We can typically get 2 Acres done a day when everything runs smoothly. However, Forestry Mulching Jobs all vary depending on the scope of work. There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. Such as travel time, access, how heavily wooded the lot is, how fine of mulch would you like left behind, and what kind of terrain are we dealing with. There are also the unseen variables that come into play such as wet ground, running over foreign materials ie: metal fence, rebar, carpet, tires etc. These can lead to downtime on site while we fix the problem un order to continue working.
Yes, we take everything 8 inches and under down to grown level and process it down to fine mulch. When we are done you can generally maintain it with a riding mower or bush hog if you have one available.
No, once we have been contracted to do the job there is no need for you to be on site. We can send out before and after photos as well as collect payment online. We do this in order to make the process as seemless and easy as possible. Of course you are more than welcome to stop in or meet me out there to walk the job upon completion. However, we understand that some land owners may live out of town or simply do not have the time to make it out to the site.
Absolutley, we have no problem trimming the mature trees left behind. In fact we recommend it for the health of them. Also, it puts the final touches on the job and helps improve the curb appeal.
