Tree Service in Mango, FL

Tony was prompt and fair with his estimate and removal of our leaning Mango tree prior to hurricane season. Then returned a few days later for stump removal. Thank you.

l Tony Padgett was very approachable and came to my home on time. We discussed various options regarding the overgrown tress and branches around the house and what should be the best approach. He seems very at ease with my questions and took the time to address my concerns. He said he had a crew that was finishing a job near my home so if I was satisfied with the estimate they could start that day. The most expensive item was to remove an old Eucalyptus tree that has rotten and was posing a safety issue. The original quote included that removal. As I though about it, I decided it would be sufficient to trim the old Eucalyptus tree since it probably would not grow anymore. I share my changes with Tony and ask him to instead include cutting the cluster bamboo. I though the price would be less but he quoted the same price. The crew was accommodating though a bit hectic at times and a few of my flowers got damaged as they guys tried to get the job done fast. I called Tony and let him know and he spoke with the supervisor. Things went smoothly after that. The process of removing the grind bamboo was difficult and I had hoped they would take all the roots removed instead of mixing it in the ground. Nevertheless they were accommodating and work very hard to get the job done. They clean the area and the front of the house when they were done. They even did a little extra in cutting as I walk around and saw the work. I gave them a b for price based on past experiences with removing/cutting trees in areas with more difficult access but they happened in another State and perhaps here Tony?s price is reasonable. He did gave me a 10% discount for being a member of Angie's List. I have since recommended Tony to neighbors that have asked who did the work on my yard and patio disclosing the charges that some people might be considered high.

It has been almost two years since the work was done. It is meaningful that I waited two years to post because my oak trees were damaged to near death due to neglect, age, mistletoe and kudzu vine infestations when Panorama did the work on them. I say this because with near-death trees, it can take years before they fully come back to life, if at all. I gambled by having them "fixed" rather than cutting them down. The Panorama arborist gave me all of the options and told me that I could have the trees removed or they would do the best that they could to save my trees. I opted to try to save the trees. Panorama did the work, and the trees looked awful when they finished; bare and lethargic. On another occasion about six months later I had another tree problem and had other arborists come out to give me quotes. The other guys looked at Panorama's work and said that they messed it up and "lion tail" trimmed them which is a big mistake. I was devastated after spending so much money. I even called the University of Florida's Agriculture Extension Program and sent them photos of the trees. They confirmed that the trees were trimmed incorrectly. I called Panorama (this was almost a year after they did the work), and the arborist explained to me very professionally that the trees were so badly damaged that they had to trim them "incorrectly" to save the tree. I called the University of Florida (UF) again and we discussed the photos I had sent them. UF agreed totally with Panorama. I failed to give UF all the details the first time I spoke with them; under normal conditions they were trimmed incorrectly. However, based on the damage and further explanation, UF totally agreed with Panorama. Furthermore, UF told me that there is no way any of the other arborists that "bad mouthed" Panorama could have possibly known if the trees were trimmed properly or not because they did not know the extent of the damage to begin with. They were the ones that were acting non-professional. Bottom line is, now two years later my oak trees are looking great! It took a while, but I believe I made the right decision saving my trees rather than cutting them down to begin with. I would recommend Panorama if you have any specific tree problems requiring someone with specific knowledge on how to handle damaged trees. In the end, they used the correct technique to save the trees. Thank you.
