◆ Reference

Charlotte County is a Florida county on the lower Gulf Coast surrounding Charlotte Harbor, encompassing approximately 858 square miles with a population of about 186,000 (2020 U.S. Census). Tree work in the unincorporated county is governed by the Charlotte County Code (Land Development Regulations); the City of Punta Gorda — the only incorporated municipality — maintains its own Tree Protection Code. Mangroves throughout Charlotte Harbor and the surrounding tidal areas are protected under the Florida Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act (FS §403.9321–.9333).

Charlotte questions we get often.

Is there still hurricane-related tree work happening in Punta Gorda?

Yes. Some trees that survived a major storm look fine but have hidden root-plate damage or split crowns that show up months later. Annual structural pruning and proactive hazard assessment are the right post-storm baseline for the next 3–5 years.
