We are Eagerton Tree Service
Eagerton Tree Service was developed in 2009 by Jake Eagerton, owner/operator after attending the University of North Florida. With a desire to own his own company and not wanting to go into the family plumbing business, Jake decided to look for another service opportunity in the North Florida area. Understanding that most successful business models are built the same way and that first you start with having the right vision for your company. Second, have a customer service commitment you can fulfill. Third, choose the right assets and hire the right personnel and provide them with the most modern, up-to-date expert training and create a good, safe working environment for your workers to thrive in. Lastly, acquire the right equipment to provide a superior product and create a customer value proposition second to none.
After having years of experience in the plumbing business, Jake understood what superior service looked like to a residential and business customer. Wanting to take this business knowledge to the next level, Jake then sought after an industry that was sorely in need of a fresh vision and a new approach to servicing its clients. Jake’s research led him to look at developing a modern, professional tree service business. Jake understood that many tree services were started with a couple of chain saws and a few hard-working men able to climb heights. But lack of funding and inefficiencies led to tree service practices that were both harmful to the environment and caused danger to themselves, properties and possibly others.
Jake saw old fashion tree removal methods being used to fall a tree by rope, ladder, swinging and drop. These techniques had the potential to damage plants, shrubs, sprinkler systems, lawns, walkways, driveways, houses and alike and he wanted no part of it. He saw company after company downing trees and leaving the trunks, limbs and stalks in the yard or on the street, stumps half cut and yards looking like a tornado had just gone through. He decided then and there that, that was no way to provide tree service and that the average customer deserved more for their money.
