Specialty Tree Surgeons
Established over 25 years ago, by Early Piety, Specialty Tree Surgeons offers a single source for all your tree related equipment, services, and information. For 30 years, Early Piety has been advising homeowners, businesses and governments about the health and welfare of trees. Starting in 1974, Early began diagnosing tree diseases, analyzing sites and overseeing the care of trees.

This specialized knowledge gained "in the field" is an invaluable resource for the community. Early and his team at Specialty Tree Surgeons are routinely called on to advise and implement tree care. Early has been a consultant for the Jacksonville Landscape Commission, Riverside Avondale Preservation, the City of Jacksonville Beach, the City of Atlantic Beach and the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens.

He is called on for information about choosing the right tree for the right place, correct pruning techniques, preservation of trees during water/sewer installation and building construction, lightning protection and evaluating the condition of ailing trees.

Great company to do business with. Specialty Tree Surgeons has been around for decades and has long standing clients through out the area. They specialize in tree preservation and their expertise and knowledge is second to none. They recently did an excellent job thinning out a large oak tree that overhangs my home and did a great job!

Called STS for a second opinion after speaking w/ a arborist who suggested my palm tree should just be replaced instead of saved. Mr. Early Piety made room for me in his schedule after I told him I had taken the day off to wait for the other company. He came out right away.

Not only was my tree not dying but did NOT need to be replaced. Mr. Piety was an absolute fountain of knowledge. He walked my property looking closely at the trees and explained exactly what was happening and how I could fix each problem. His observations were remarkable and made so much sense. I called about one palm but

Friendly and knowledgeable. I like the fact that get an honest opinion and not an "opinion" that generates more money for the company.

They spent most of the day taking a nap on the front porch. There was no safe way to pay through the website. I had to mail them a check last week as they neglected to take one before they left day of. They apparently never got it so I had this terrible man knock on my door at 7:30 this morning and a $3000 check floating out in the world somewhere. He spoke TERRIBLY to my husband who was taking care of our new baby that had just rudely been woken up, going off on him as if we hadn't paid. My husband was confused because we thought we had and obviously rectified the situation. This is not proper

If I could give less than a 1 I would. This is the first review I have ever posted and it is because of the terrible service I just received. I am in process of trying to get some trees trimmed in my back yard and a representative from Specialty Tree came to my home and proceeded to explain to me that I was not clear. I explained I do not understand industry terms to please let me know what it would cost to clean up some dead limbs on my trees. He then stated I am not being clear and clean up limbs means nothing. He then called me a 40year old home owner names . I asked him to leave my house as

We would never rely on this company for any advice about the health of a tree. After we complained to the City about our concerns that an 8o foot tall sweet gum tree in our neighbor's yard appeared to be in mortal decline and therefore a danger to adjoining properties, this company provided a report that the tree was healthy. Based on that report the City rescinded its order that the property owner have the tree removed. One year later we personally inspected the tree for the first time, and discovered a large hole at the base of the tree indicating that the tree was rotten inside. We again reported
