 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ranger Tree Care did a fantastic job protecting my house from a tree that was weakened and rotting. Initially, I wanted to trim only a portion of the tree, but they pointed out that it was splitting and was reaching a point at which it would be dangerous during a storm. Following their recommendations, I decided to cut the tree entirely. Once it was cut, the internal rot showed itself, and it was clear that their recommendations were spot on. While their professionalism and expertise were greatly appreciated, one notable thing upon completion was that they did a fantastic job cleaning up, doing their best to leave everything the way it was before they arrived, minus the tree. Thank you, Kevin, Melanie, Stephanie, and your tree-cutting professionals!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very good experience with Ranger Tree Care.  Prompt response, detailed estimate with photos of work to be done received same-day, fair price and fast scheduling. Took down large dead tree. Crew arrived on time, worked as a team.  Office staff was courteous and efficient.  Impressive clean-up afterward; hardly any sign they'd been here. Took care not to damage lawn sprinklers.  Tree limbs, trunk & debris hauled away as promised. Safety priority - insurance document included with estimate.  Professional operation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in WNC and Ranger Tree Care was part of the crew that came out to our house to remove debris from Hurricane Helene. Our job involved half a dozen root balls, all in precarious locations (near septic, well, and a large buried propane tank). I am very grateful for the amount of care and attention that went into the work they did. I'd encourage anyone who lives in their FL service area to support this veteran-owned business. As someone who has worked with 6 different tree services in the last 12 months, I would hire this crew in a heartbeat!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A crew of 4 professionals came to my house to remove a very tall bismark palm tree which was too close to my house. They came one day after I asked them to come. They quickly had the tree down and cut it into pieces and removed every last leaf. They swept my driveway clean and blew all dirt away. I couldn't be happier. They has the best price of the 4 companies I contacted. I told the owner I couldn't pay for 2 more weeks because that's when I get my social security check. They came anyway. Now that is top notch service. I highly, highly recommend them. Very polite and efficient.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Ranger Tree Care, who provided tree trimming services for large oak and mango trees as well as large canary Island date palms on our property. The estimate was clear and detailed and the pricing competitive. They arrived on the day and time agreed to and were professional, courteous, and effective. Adam was on site himself, performing and supervising the others. It was very clear this is a customer-oriented company that is willing to go the extra mile to acheive complete customer satisfaction. When my wife was not totally pleased with the appearance of the canary palms, Adam spent considerable additional time to perform additional shaping to achieve her full satisfaction. They completely cleaned up the premises and hauled away all the debris. The final results of all their work was excellent. We will definitely use them again.

Tree Health Inspections & Treatment

Tree longevity and healthy growth are highly dependent on ongoing upkeep and maintenance. Regularly monitoring your trees’ health and taking time action is essential to keeping the plant growing right. Ranger Tree Care provides detailed inspection services for all kinds of trees that can help you uncover problems such as nutrient deficiencies, pest infestations and even highlight early signs of disease.

Common trees in Florida such as cypress trees, oaks and palms can easily fall prey to problems such as lethal bronzing, ganoderma and fungal infections. Due to Florida’s unique weather and soil conditions, trees in Florida are at a higher risk of certain problems. With regular and professional health inspections you can evaluate tree health and start treatment to minimize damage and ensure long-term well-being.

Get in touch with our experts today to find out how you can extend your trees life, make them look better and also maintain better safety on your property.

Disease & Pest Diagnosis

Every ecosystem has its own pros and cons. While Florida’s environment is very good for flora, it also poses certain risks that can become life-threatening situations if left untreated or if left to compound in themselves. Moreover, certain trees are more susceptible and less able to fight diseases and pests as compared to other species.

For instance, palm trees, which are very common in Florida, are especially susceptible to lethal bronzing, which is a type of bacterial infection that can spread rapidly. On the other hand oak trees are often more commonly impacted by fungal infections. The unique sandy soil environment of Florida also poses the risk of root rot for several species of trees and plants.

Our experts can help you identify early warning signs such as canopy thinning, abnormal root or trunk growth and discoloration in leaves. We also help you devise and execute a treatment plan to overcome the challenge and get your trees back on a healthy track.

Get in touch with our ISA Certified Arborist today to learn how we can help you keep your trees healthier and safer.

Palm Tree Health & Maintenance

Palm trees are synonymous with Florida and the state of Florida is home to over a dozen unique species of palm trees. These trees require specialized upkeep for healthy long-term growth and common problems in palm trees can often go unnoticed by the untrained eye.

Things such as nutrient deficiencies, bud rot and lethal bronzing can compound to the extent that eventually the tree needs to be taken down. At Ranger Tree Care we offer specialized palm tree care services so your trees don’t have to suffer such a fate.
Our ISA Certified Arborist can help you with a detailed palm tree evaluation and give you a good understanding of soil conditions, nutrient levels and the structural integrity of the tree. With this information on hand you can understand whether you need tree pruning, fertilization or disease management to better care for your trees.

Get in touch with Ranger Tree Care today to get started with palm tree health management for your trees.

Soil and Root Health in Sandy Melbourne Soil

Apart from weather, another major challenge that trees face in Florida, is the sandy soil. Sandy soil makes it tough for trees to develop solid root structures and because this soil type can retain a lot of water it also puts trees at risk of various root-related problems.

This means trees aren’t always anchored properly and in the case of storms they can easily be dislocated or even uprooted.

In this regard our ISA Certified Arborist can help you with detailed soil and root healthy evaluations. This way you get a clear understanding of root health, tree stability, soil drainage, and soil nutrient levels. Based on this insight we can help you with mulching strategies, root zone care or soil amendments to improve health and stability of the tree.

Documentation for HOAs & Insurance

A common challenge that homeowners face when getting tree care services is the lack of documentation of the process. This makes it very difficult for homeowners to get claims from insurers and also get approvals from HOAs and other regulatory authorities. In the end they are stuck paying heavy fines, investing time and work is delayed.

At Ranger Tree Care we go above and beyond to provide clients with thorough and exhaustive documentation of each step of the journey no matter how big or how small of a job it is. We understand that insurers and HOA communities require proof of professional tree care.

Our process starts with an ISA Certified Arborist assessment which includes tree risk assessments, health evaluations and treatment recommendations. Moreover, with every job we also provide free copies of or comprehensive insurance coverage and insurance certificates. In cases where there is an insurance claim involved we also provide photos and written evaluations that will support your claim and speed up your approval process.

Working with Ranger Tree Care gives you the peace of mind that you will have all the paperwork and documentation needed to meet the requirements of insurance companies, city officials and HOA boards for any work you have done with us.

Preventative Maintenance Plans for Melbourne Properties

The saying ‘prevention is better than cure’ stands true for trees just as much as it does for humans. At Ranger Tree Care we provide comprehensive preventative maintenance options to ensure your trees stay healthy all year round and have a much lower possibility of getting damaged by infections or bad weather.

These plans can vary a lot and are really tailored for each client. Depending on the size and location of your property and the kinds of trees you need to care for the preventative maintenance plan can change.

Generally, the plan includes regular seasonal inspections, pruning recommendations, soil treatments and disease monitoring. All of this is carried out by our ISA Certified Arborist.

Preventative maintenance plans are a must-have solution for homes in Central Florida where stormy weather and ongoing local threats are always present.

FAQs About Arborist Services

What is the difference between a tree service and an arborist?

A tree service company can perform removals or trimming, but an arborist is certified to diagnose health issues, assess risks, and recommend treatments. An arborist provides the “why” behind the work.

How often should I schedule an arborist inspection?

At least once a year, or before hurricane season. Regular inspections catch problems early and prevent costly emergencies.

Can your arborist help with HOA or insurance paperwork?

Yes. We provide detailed documentation for both, including risk assessments, treatment notes, and proof of insurance.

Do you work on palm trees?

Absolutely. Palms are a Florida staple, and our arborist specializes in detecting diseases like lethal bronzing and bud rot.

Do you offer preventative maintenance plans?

Yes. Our arborist can build a plan that includes seasonal checkups, disease monitoring, and proactive treatments to keep your trees healthy long-term.
