Beyond the Bark

The proprietor came in the time frame agreed upon and checked on my tree. He was extremely knowledgeable and even walked my yard giving me other tips when he was here.

After initial email setting up a day for the appointment, I never heard back either by phone or email. After a technical glitch, Ken got in contact with me and we set up an appointment. Ken was punctual, professional, and very helpful. Would recommend.

Wonderfully well! Ken is very knowledgeable and non-biased, since he only does the eval and not the tree service. He will tell you what trees you need to remove and what can be saved. He not only evaluates the trees, but will educate you regarding all the plants on your property. The cost of the service is WELL WORTH IT!

Excellent professionalism throughout the consultation.

Ken Miller was responsive, showed up on time and did an excellent job! Not only did he give us info on the oak tree, but he also walked us around the yard and provided info/ advice on the other trees, etc. Will definitely call him again should the need arise!

Went well. Based on inspection decided to keep for a few mores years adding sod and dirt to protect some roots.

AMAZING! Not only was Kevin super knowledgeable, it was so apparent that he loves what he does. He spent 2 hours with me and walked my entire yard, going over pretty much anything that was growing. I learned so much from him and feel very confident moving forward that our yard can look great again.

Satisfactory. Good knowledge of Florida trees and how to protect them.

Very well. I learned the steps to take to protect my trees during construction of our home.

Ken was fantastic! He evaluated my tree and educated me on what he found and how I can stay on top of the health of my trees. His recommendations and patient, calm demeanor left me feeling confident my money was well spent today. It was pouring down rain while he was here but never gave me the feeling he wanted to 'rush' the visit before I was satisfied with his visit. I would highly recommend Ken if you are looking for advice on the health of your trees.

Mr Miller took time to check the products we are trying to use for treatments, and he had explanations and advice we could understand. While here he checked another tree he has been watching for us.

Way beyond what I asked for. I had him come out to look at a favorite tree that I thought was dying (it wasn't). After that, job should have been done for any other service provider. Instead, he asked, "do you mind if we take a walk around your yard?" I've got almost 3 acres. We covered all of it. He went through the front landscaping, identifying and diagnosing each shrub, bush and weed, went to every tree and told me all about how it should be maintained, what to expect, etc. He took me to the berm out back and told me what we could plant for best privacy. He even went over lawn care. The guy really knows his stuff. And, as he will tell you, he has no further financial interest. He doesn't sell anything else, just knowledge. Highly recommended. Great service.

Ken was great! He was able to work around our schedule and meet us early in the morning. We had a heavy rain that morning and was happy to hang around until it lightened up. He was very knowledgeable about all the plants on the properties and advised of care instructions and what trees might pose potential issues. He gave lots of recommendations for other resources to reference and what to not let other arborist do if we did have someone come out to thin out some of our trees. Ken was very personable and i learned a lot. Being new to the area and landscaping/gardening this far south he gave excellent instruction on type, care, and maintenance of every tree on the property. I'll be calling him again for recommendations when my avocado tree improves. I would recommend him to anyone who has questions about the care of the plant on their property. And I feel confident hiring an arborist to trim my trees knowing that I can give clear instructions on what they should do to not ruin or harm my trees.

Ken was awesome. He knows so much and answered all my questions. I have a very large lot with Live Oaks, Laurel Oaks, citrus trees, palms, a banana tree, cypress trees and all kinds of other stuff. He made recommendations on care, let me know which ones were dead (or near the end) and how to choose new trees to fill in. He was very nice and provided great suggestions on additional resources.

He is very knowledgeable and educated me on my landscape. He answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction

Ken was very knowledgeable, and explained in detail what to look for in determining the health of a tree. Unfortunately, the oak cannot be saved, but I can now move with confidence in having the tree taken down, in that I got a evaluation from someone who is not in the business of cutting down trees. I used an Angie's coupon for the evaluation and felt that it was a fair price. Ken responded the same day I placed the request with Angie, and was on time with the appointment.

The Beyond the Bark arborist provided valuable information regarding the health of trees and shrubs on my property. He also recommended actions I can take to extend their lifespan. I was impressed by his extensive knowledge and would not hesitate to call on him again should I have any questions or problems requiring an arborist.

The services were professionally rendered. Only time will tell if they were successful.

After finding Ken Miller's Beyond the Bark on Angie's List - I hired him to come evaluate my 35+ year old Laurel Oak. I couldn't have found any one more professional or qualified than Ken. He has given me peace of mind concerning the health of the oak. He informed me about the Laurel Oak and for its age, ways to help keep it as healthy as possible. I have a field report with information to use in the future. For the $'s I spent, I got more than my money's worth. He was here for at least an hour and gave me help regarding trees close to the oak. My Oak Tree is very special to me - and I was pleased to find just the right doctor.

homKen was patient and went over our whole yard identifying the trees and shruns, noting any issues and provide options to improvement the health of the tree/shrub.

I was impressed by his "presence" and absolute professionalism. He arrived on time, and never seemed to be in a rush to "get done, get out". Took his time to evaluate the "patient", and then to answer in clear terms every question which came to my mind as we discussed his findings and recommendations. A few times he slipped into specific biology terms (which I did not understand at all), but then explained what he had just said in layman's words .I didn't know what to expect as I had never used a professional arborist before, but he seemed to really know his trade, and was able and willing to explain the situation he found in very clear terms. Felt comfortable using the company which he recommended, and they did what I had discussed w/him be done . Most satisfied. Will use again if I ever need tree work requiring his level of skills.

Ken was on time, very personable, professional, and above all, educational in the condition of my trees and bushes. He provided me valuable insight into potential problems and hazards in the future, and recommendations to avoid them. A+ service!

My trees have flourished since I started using Beyond the Bark.

He was punctual. He answered all my questions. We talked for an hour and a half. He provided his opinion about the health of the trees and what I should do regarding pruning them. I was particularly concerned about one large tree close to the house. He does not do tree pruning himself so I felt like I was getting an unbiased opinion.

He was recommended by another arborist that trims our oak trees periodically and I was glad to find him on Angie's List. He is a very knowledgable arborist with his own specialty area of training. He also gave us practical advice about products we can be using in our yard that are better than the ones we had been trying that had failed.
