Dowling Tree Service

History

Born in South Georgia, Dana Dowling and his family relocated to Florida in 1962 when Dana was 8 years old. After coming to Florida, Dana's father became ill and his mother went to work and became the family bread winner working in a furniture upholstery store. Dana attributes a lot of his hard work ethics to helping his mother on the weekends and after school. But at 12 Dana had his first experience with tree removal when his father encouraged him to remove Cypress trees from their property with a chain saw so they could fence the property and build a barn. When Dana was 24 years old, a large tree fell on his own property and he called a local tree surgeon to remove the tree. After watching the process, he felt like if they could do it, he could do it, therefore starting the vision that later became a reality. Dowling Tree Service is one of the leading tree surgeons and tree removal companies in Gainesville Florida.
