What is the best time of year to prepare for Sarasota's hurricane season?

To prepare trees for Sarasota's hurricane season, avoid overwatering to keep roots strong. An arborist can assess trees for dead or diseased branches and perform proactive pruning to reduce branch weight. Our plant health care program promotes root growth and overall tree health, boosting resilience to high winds and heavy rain.

Do you offer emergency tree removal services in Sarastoa?

Yes! Weather can turn at any moment and cause extensive damage in a landscape (often at inopportune times) which can be scary to deal with. We are a trusted resource for you and available 24/7 to respond to emergency tree-related issues around Sarasota, Florida.

How do you handle working with large trees in Sarasota's swampy or wet areas?

We use ground mats to create stable access paths, allowing our equipment to safely reach large trees in swampy or wet areas.

Are there specific rules for removing mangroves or other protected species in Sarasota. Florida?

Mangroves are a protected species in Sarasota and across the state of Florida. They cannot be removed without state approval. If a mangrove is under 10 feet tall, homeowners may prune to six feet, but no lower. For mangroves 10 feet or taller, pruning must be done by a Professional Mangrove Trimmer. Ask your arborist for additional Mangrove protocols.

How do I know if my palm tree is diseased and needs removal?

Two clear warning signs indicate your palm tree may need removal: a brown leaf spear, which means the tree cannot survive, or mushrooms and conk at the base—which indicates fatal Ganoderma disease. While other issues like lethal bronzing can also affect palms, it's best to have a local arborist assess the situation before taking action.

Ian, CJ, Errol, Zack, & Mike were at Mariners Cove for 4 days this week removing dead & damaged shrubs. Walk abouts daily were helpful in identifying what needed to be removed, chipped & hauled away. Feedback from owners has been positive after some initial pearl clutching. We look forward to having Sav A Tree return later in the Spring to deal with the trees. Congratulations to Carl for...

These guys know what they are doing. Organized, equipped, knowledgeable about the way to trim different trees. Crew was polite and easy to work with, and they all seem to get along with one another and happy with what they are doing. Great company to work with.

SaveATree was a lifesaver in helping us recover from Hurricane Helene damage. Prompt, thorough and very courteous. We had used them previously to save a beloved fig tree on our property. We recommend them very highly

Another fantastic job by Monty's crew! Because of their previous tree maintenance, my trees survived a direct hurricane hit. This time they trimmed the dead branches and cleaned up the debris so the trees and yard looks better than ever!
