Established over 40 years ago, by Early Piety, Specialty Tree Surgeons offers a single source for all your tree related issues, service needs and information. Early and his team at Specialty Tree Surgeons are routinely called on to diagnose, inspect, advise and implement tree care.

As a Certified Arborist, Mr. Piety has been advising homeowners, businesses, City Governments, and FDOT about the health and welfare of trees. Starting in 1974, Early began diagnosing tree diseases, analyzing sites and overseeing the care of trees. This specialized knowledge gained “in the field” is an invaluable resource for the community. Early has been a consultant for the Jacksonville Landscape Commission, Riverside Avondale Preservation, the City of Jacksonville Beach, the City of Atlantic Beach and the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens.

He is called on for information about choosing the right tree for the right place, correct pruning techniques, preservation of trees during water/sewer installation and building construction, lightning protection and evaluating the condition of ailing trees. He also is entrusted with the care of historic trees such as the Treaty Oak, the Cummer Gallery Oak, the Patriarch Oaks of Mandarin, as well as many significant privately owned trees.

Early’s expertise has been featured in stories in The Florida Times-Union and Water’s Edge magazine and guest appearances on Gary Allen’s Designer’s Showcase television show on WJCT. Early, a certified arborist since 1993, also is known as a tree educator whether it is one of his folksy stories or professional instruction for the International Society of Arboriculture.

Early brings a lifetime of experience and a passion for trees to any consultation.

Our experienced tree crew will leave you extremely satisfied with the job they do for you. The crew is lead by our foreman of 30 years, David Markley, who is also a certified arborist.
