And not everyone who is working in a tree business is qualified to be called an arborist.The safety standard by which the hazardous job of tree work is done without danger is ANSI Z133, or better known among arborists as simply “the Z”. This standard defines two types of working arborists: the qualified arborist, and the qualified arborist trainee.

Kevin and Christian from Above and Beyond Tree Services Celebrate a Significant One Year Anniversary
A lot has changed for us in the past year, as a business, as a family, and as human beings. It all started in one instant on Jan. 25, 2018, when we were told by an emergency room doctor that Kevin had a large mass in his brain – a brain tumor.
Hearing that someone you love has a brain tumor is more terrifying than it even sounds. The mere thought of it is unfathomable unless you actually have the unfortunate circumstance of going through it. And even now, a year later, it’s still hard for me to comprehend. There really are no words to adequately describe it other than to say in that instant the world stopped turning and life as we had always known it suddenly stopped existing.

A Definitive Guide to Azalea Care
Azalea bushes are the south’s favorite Rhododendron. They’re planted in every, or every other, lawn on nearly every street in Florida. It’s a popular bush due to the springtime blooms and their bright vivid colors. Unfortunately, these bushes often go without regular maintenance leading to an overgrown bush that can take over a lawn.
 Nothing says southern charm like the old expansive oaks strewn across the landscape. From Gone With the Wind’s Twelve Oaks plantation to todays mature oaks that still dot the Northeast Florida landscape, oaks are an integral part of of our southern history. However, many people still have no idea how to identify the different types of oaks in our area.
