A local crew that answers the phone

When you call Southern Standard, you reach the people who do the work — not a call center or a lead-selling middleman. Nigel and his crew have built the business on referrals from Chuluota, Oviedo, and the greater Orlando area by doing the unglamorous things well: showing up on time, quoting honestly, and cleaning up completely.

We’re licensed and carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance — and we’ll show you the certificates before we start. It’s the single most important thing to verify with any tree company, and most homeowners never think to ask.

What we bring to every job

Why homeowners keep calling us back

The tree service business is full of horror stories — crews that show up late, quotes that balloon, yards left a mess. We built Southern Standard as the opposite: a family-owned crew that quotes honestly, shows up on time, and stands behind the price we give you. If we mis-price a job, we eat the difference. That’s the promise the name is built on.

Every job comes with a written, no-pressure estimate before we start. Every removal includes permit determination and filing where required. Every property is left cleaner than we found it — every limb hauled, or the chips left for your beds if you want the mulch.

We’re not the biggest tree company in Central Florida — and we don’t want to be. We want to be the one your neighbor recommends when yours calls looking for help.
