Tree service in Siesta Key.
Barrier-island salt-spray country. Most non-native ornamentals struggle here within a few years; the trees that thrive are sabal palm, sea grape, buttonwood, and gumbo limbo. We handle hurricane-prep pruning for the rental properties, salt-tolerant planting for the year-round residents, and the post-storm cleanup that follows any named system.

Tree services in Siesta Key.
Siesta Key questions we get often.
Do I need a permit to remove a live oak in Sarasota County?
Often yes, depending on DBH (diameter at breast height) and the parcel's jurisdiction. The City of Sarasota and Sarasota County both have heritage-tree protections. We check the specific address against the applicable ordinance before quoting — and if a permit is required, we tell you what's involved and the typical timeline.
Will salt air from the barrier islands kill my new tree?
Some species, yes. On Siesta Key, Casey Key, and similar salt-spray neighborhoods we recommend buttonwood, sea grape, sabal palm, and gumbo limbo over salt-sensitive ornamentals. We'll tell you up-front if your site is too salt-exposed for a species you're considering.
