He never stopped bragging about how great a job he would do.
To make a long story short, he should be named the " tree butcher " . He quickly does a hurricane cut taking not only the discolored branches of the palm tree but also many of the perfectly good ones leaving them looking like a carrot . He says this is the right way to do them and will not hurt the palm. Experts on the internet (University of Florida IFAS Extension) say differently. Also he is so fast and messy that he cuts into the palm branches he leaves. One has fallen after he left and another is part way cut through that i doubt will make it. I would highly recommend homeowners in the Villages avoid this fella no matter what the price.

The Tree Barber "Butcher" is a total idiot. Anyone that uses him needs to have their head examined!!! He is very high pressure a very fast talker and when you ask him to write a contract up he WILL NOT DO THAT!! Any honorable contractor will write up a contract, he is not honorable! His card and his magnet on the side of his truck state he is Lic and Bonded but when you look it up you can't find it, so if you allow this goof to do work and he is injured on your property he can sue you so beware. Ask him to see his paperwork for his license and bond proof. He is a scammer and would Love cash or a check written out to his wife. When you tell him you do not want his services that is where he really goes off. He started with name calling and insulting me. PLEASE if you see him tell him to get off of your property and never come back!!! If he will not leave call 911.
