WINTER HAVEN, FL (Apr. 5, 2018) – A changing of the guard is underway at Billy Bob’s Tree Service in Winter Haven, one of Polk County’s oldest companies specializing in tree trimming and take down services. The company serves clients throughout Polk County as well as eastern Hillsborough and parts of Hardee and Highlands counties.
William “Billy Bob” Morris, who founded the firm in 1980, is selling the business to Troy Kunze of Winter Haven. Kunze has been employed by Morris for the past 12 years and will retain the name Billy Bob’s Tree Service.
“Troy is a hard working and very gifted tree surgeon whose knowledge and work ethic are guaranteed to keep Billy Bob’s Tree Service running smoothly and growing in future years,” Morris said. “One of the keys to his future success will be the fact that he is well liked and highly respected by all of our loyal clients.”
A Polk County native, Kunze has expertise in trimming and removing trees of all sizes, as well as installing and maintaining hedges and landscaping. While Troy is out in the field doing tree work, his wife, Amber, will run the office. Morris will remain on board for an undetermined time to help with marketing and preparing estimates.
“I look forward to running my own business and thank Billy Bob for giving me the opportunity to continue the quality work that has made Billy Bob’s Tree Service a leader in tree trimming/take down industry for nearly 40 years,” Kunze said.
