Tree Planting & Installation in Sarasota & Manatee County

What does professional tree installation include?

• Tree-species selection, matched to your soil, sun, space, and goals
• Tree-placement recommendations, the right tree in the right place, clear of foundations, pipes, pools, and power lines at maturity
• Soil analysis, so the tree is planted into conditions it can thrive in
• New tree installation and planting, done to proper depth and staking
• Mulching, correctly, never the volcano mound that slowly kills trees
• Replacement-tree planning after removals

Why plant native, wind-resistant species?

Because they live here and they hold on here. Native and Florida-adapted species handle the sandy soil, the salt-influenced air near the coast, and, planted and pruned correctly, they stand up to Gulf wind far better than fragile exotics. We will recommend species suited to your exact site.

Do you transplant trees?

Yes. When a healthy tree is simply in the wrong place, transplanting can save it. Success depends on species, size, season, and preparation, an assessment tells you honestly whether your tree is a good candidate before anyone digs.

Replanting Sarasota's canopy

Planting is also how we give back. Art's Canopy Care Fund funds and plants native, wind-resistant trees in under-canopied neighborhoods across the area. Learn more on the Canopy Care Fund page.
