About Us

When you need tree care services in Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Greater Polk County, you deserve more than guesswork—you deserve a Board Certified Master Arborist who understands how trees grow, when they're truly at risk, and how to preserve them for decades to come. The Tree Lady Company was built around one core belief: trees should be preserved whenever possible, not removed unnecessarily.

Owner Kim Paulson has been in the tree industry since 1986 and is an ISA Board Certified Arborist with decades of hands-on experience. In business since 2002, the company has earned a reputation for honest assessments, ethical recommendations, and long-term tree care solutions that protect both your property and the canopy you love.

You can trust a team that values education over urgency, and conservation over convenience. Every consultation starts with understanding your trees—not pushing unnecessary removals.

Discover how professional arborist care can extend the life and health of your trees across Central Florida.

Since 2002, this company has served homeowners and businesses throughout Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Greater Polk County with a focus on teaching property owners how trees grow, where true risk exists, and how proper pruning can prevent storm damage. The team promotes a 3–5 year pruning cycle so your trees require fewer emergency services over time—and stay healthier through Florida's intense heat, hurricanes, and seasonal storms.

From the moss-draped oaks lining historic neighborhoods to the palm-lined boulevards and sprawling live oaks shading lakefront homes, Central Florida's urban forest is both a treasure and a responsibility. You'll work with arborists who understand the regional climate, soil conditions, and storm patterns that affect tree health year-round.

The Tree Lady Company regularly participates in community outreach and local events to educate the public about responsible tree care. They're actively involved with the International Society of Arboriculture, the Tree Care Industry Association (Florida Chapter), and the Better Business Bureau.
