Company Background

About Arbor Bay Tree Service

Arbor Bay Tree Service is the Tampa company on this list that leads with a Master Arborist. Kacy Keeffe holds ISA Board Certified Master Arborist credential FL-6763B along with the Tree Risk Assessment and Prescription Pruning qualifications, and Michael Marciniak is an ISA Certified Arborist, FL-6156A. The company says it has served Greater Tampa Bay for more than 20 years and works from 4402 W Osborne Ave, the address Google lists for its Tampa branch.

The service list runs from tree removal, trimming and stump grinding to lot clearing, arborist consultation, root pruning and air spading, tree diagnosis, cabling and bracing, lightning protection, pre-construction assessments and storm recovery. Arbor Bay's FAQ is blunt about licensing: it says Florida requires no tree trimming license, that a county tax receipt is not a measure of skill, and that it carries 1 million dollars of general liability plus workers compensation class code 0106 for every employee. Its site names Carrollwood, Citrus Park, Davis Island, Lake Magdalene, Seminole Heights, South Tampa, Tampa Heights, Temple Terrace, Town 'n' Country and Westchase.

Reviews describe oak work in detail. One homeowner had nine oaks pruned and praised Kevin for a thorough estimate, another watched Kevin take apart a large laurel oak from the bucket while Gary's ground crew lowered the pieces over a house, and a longtime contractor says the work has been consistently strong for more than five years. Arbor Bay holds 4.9 from 409 Google reviews, read November 7, 2026.

It suits homeowners with big oaks near roofs and anyone who wants a certified arborist's written assessment. It suits less well weekend callers, since Google lists weekday hours only. Before booking, ask for the arborist's certificate number, a written scope, proof of workers compensation, and confirm the office address, because the website's contact page lists a different street than Google.

  • Is a tree service license required in Florida?
