Meet the Owner Behind God's Country, DeLand's Tree Service
God's Country Tree Service LLC is owner-operated by Caleb, a trained arborist with more than 21 years of hands-on tree care. Raised in the timber industry and now rooted in Florida, he keeps Central and North Central Florida's oaks, pines, and palms healthy, safe, and cared for the right way.
Meet the Owner
Who Owns God's Country Tree Service in DeLand?
God's Country Tree Service LLC is owned and operated by Caleb, a trained arborist who bought the DeLand tree service after running his own in the Pacific Northwest. The company has worked in DeLand since 2014. The letter below is his own account of how he got here, in his own words.
My name is Caleb, and trees have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the timber industry gave me the opportunity to learn how trees grow, how forests stay healthy, and what it takes to safely work around them.
I spent my younger years falling timber, operating equipment, climbing trees, running saws, and learning firsthand how to care for one of God's greatest creations. Those experiences eventually led me into professional arboriculture, where I trained as an arborist and learned the proper techniques for tree pruning, trimming, removal, rigging, climbing, and preserving the long-term health of trees.
For more than 21 years, I owned and operated a successful tree service in the Pacific Northwest. During that time, I helped thousands of homeowners and businesses safely maintain their trees, remove hazardous trees, improve the health of mature landscapes, and protect their properties. Every job reinforced something I have always believed — doing the work the right way is more important than doing it the fastest.
21+
Years of Tree Work
Faith and family eventually brought us to the great state of Florida, and through what I truly believe was God's timing, I was given the opportunity to purchase God's Country Tree Service. The company already had a strong reputation throughout North Central Florida for honesty, dependable service, and treating customers like neighbors. I knew those were values worth continuing.
Today, my goal is simple: continue building on that reputation while serving even more homeowners, businesses, farms, and property owners throughout Central and North Central Florida. Whether we're removing a dangerous tree after a storm, carefully pruning valuable shade trees, clearing a lot for a new project, or helping improve the health and appearance of your property, I want every customer to feel confident they made the right choice.
As a husband, father, homeowner, and business owner myself, I know how important it is to hire someone you can trust. When someone works on your property, you deserve honest recommendations, fair pricing, clear communication, and work that's done safely and professionally. That's exactly how we approach every project, no matter the size.
At God's Country Tree Service, we combine decades of hands-on experience with professional-grade equipment, modern arborist practices, and old-fashioned customer service. We don't believe in cutting corners — only trees that truly need it. Our mission is to provide safe, reliable tree services that protect your property, preserve healthy trees whenever possible, and leave every job site cleaner than we found it.
We're grateful for every customer who puts their trust in us, and we look forward to serving families and businesses across Florida for many years to come.
From our family to yours, thank you for considering God's Country Tree Service. We look forward to earning your trust.
