    I’ve known Jason for over 20 years and I can tell you he’s the quickest and most safety minded of all the tree services I’ve tried (and there’s been a few).He was able to immediately identify problems with other trees without me even asking him. Jason gets it right the first time.

  • Chuck Duncklee Homeowner, St. Augustine

    The thing about Jason is he’s a good guy and a great person. He makes you feel like he cares, because he does. They do the job right the first time, and they really clean up before they go. We have no reason to call anyone else.

  • Marie Duncklee, Homeowner, St. Augustine

    Jason’s crew is so very polite,and they really clean up after themselves.When they leave you have amazing results and no debris left behind. You hardly knew they were there. I’d highly recommend you call only Jason Shaw Tree service.

    Here’s why I call Jason Shaw exclusively: He finishes the job, his crew is respectful and they always clean up thoroughly when the job is completed. Jason goes above and beyond and is very conscientious. He does the work like it’s his own home.

  • Amanda Strange, Homeowner, St Augustine

    We used Jason Shaw Tree service and found them to be very professional. Jason met with us when he said he would and spent time answering our many questions about removing trees from our property that were leaning toward our house. His crews did a thorough job and made sure to take care to avoid damaging our lawn.
