Dover, Florida

I was a little surprised, myself, to realize I'd never mentioned Dover on this blog. It's not a huge place, but it is worth a mention.

To get an idea of what I might write about it, I checked the wiki and it was reported to have just over 3000 people.

It sits almost centered between Brandon and Plant City in eastern Hillsborough County.

As with most of my posts recently, I want to share about my client, Mid Florida Tree Service who offers tree trimming and other tree care in Dover, Fl.

Proper tree care extends the life of your trees and protects people and property by reducing the likelihood of falling limbs or uprooting trees.

A tree service professional can prune the roots of a tree to protect concrete such as the foundation of your home, or your sidewalks and driveways.

When a tree needs to be removed, Mid Florida Tree service can pull any permit required and provide the professional opinion needed to determine if a tree is a danger. Once the tree is removed, Mid Florida Tree Service can grind the stump below grade, eliminating the tripping hazard you may have seen when a stump is left to rot out.

If you need tree care in the Dover or Eastern Hillsborough County area, please call Mid Florida Tree Service at  (813) 986-2258

Don't get scammed by an unlicensed tree service

We've all heard before, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.".

Well, when a tropical storm or hurricane blows through the area knocking down trees, there are people who peruse a neighborhood looking for downed trees and offering to remove them at a special rate, if you act "right now". They'll often indicate that they are doing business with your neighbors, or "just down the block" and since they are already in the neighborhood, they can give you this special deal.

DON'T DO IT!

Sure, there's a chance you'd get decent work done at a fair or even low price, but there is a huge downside.

First, they could just take your money and run. Second, they might do the job, but leave a mess for you to clean up. Worse, they could damage your property or your neighbors by dropping limbs on cars or roofs. Worse still, they could injure themselves or someone else and you'll be on the hook to to pay for damages or medical bills.

Take the time to ensure your tree service company is licensed, insured, and has the correct knowledge and equipment for the job. Check out their reviews online and get a written contract for the work they will provide, including cleanup, hauling and stump grinding.

I often write about my client, Mid Florida Tree Service. They have been in business since 1976. It has become a generational business with Tim Jones taking over from his father, Byron Jones several years ago and continuing with the same commitment to quality work and courteous service.

If you need emergency tree service, or want to prepare your trees beforehand to reduce their likelihood of being damaged, contact Mid Florida Tree Service for experienced tree care professionals including certified arborists.
