Tree service in Venice.
Venice has its own city tree ordinance and a heritage canopy that defines the historic downtown. We work on the live oaks along the Venezia Park boulevards, the sabal palms in the new South Venice subdivisions, and the salt-tolerant trees on Venice Island. Permitting requirements are stricter than the county baseline — we check before quoting.

Tree services in Venice.
Venice questions we get often.
Does Venice require a separate permit from Sarasota County?
Often yes. The City of Venice has its own tree ordinance that applies inside city limits, on top of county-level rules. Heritage live oaks above a certain DBH typically require city approval for removal. We handle the application as part of the estimate.
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.
