Why Hire a Professional for Tree Installation?
Trees can be large, making them tricky to install on your own. In addition, there’s a lot of knowledge that goes into getting it right. That’s why hiring our professionals is the smart and safe choice.
Our tree experts thoroughly assess factors like soil quality, drainage, and site conditions to make sure your tree is planted in the ideal spot to thrive. We also determine the correct planting depth and spacing to avoid issues like root girdling or overcrowding. Additionally, our team takes great care when handling young trees during transport and planting, protecting their root systems to promote healthy growth and long-term stability.
Factors To Consider When Selecting a Tree
Selecting the right tree is an important decision that affects your landscape’s health, appearance, and functionality.
Here are the key factors to consider:
- Soil composition
- Climate conditions
- Available space
- Growth rate
- Root system type
- Native or regionally adapted species
- Aesthetic and functional balance
Take advantage of our preliminary assessment services to start your project with confidence. These services are designed to help you choose the perfect trees for your terrain and landscape.
How Often Should You Water Your New Tree?
Watering a newly planted tree properly is crucial for its survival and long-term health. Many people either overwater or underwater, both of which can cause stress to the tree. Generally, a new tree should be watered deeply immediately after planting to help settle the soil and eliminate air pockets around the roots. During the first week or two, it’s best to water daily before switching to every two to three days for the next three months or so. After that, weekly water ensures the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
When’s the Best Time of Year for Tree Planting?
Many people assume that summer is the best time to plant trees since that’s when everything is lush and growing. However, planting in the heat of summer can actually be stressful for young trees. The intense sun and high temperatures cause rapid moisture loss, making it harder for newly planted trees to establish their root systems. Without well-developed roots, trees struggle to absorb enough water, leaving them vulnerable to drought, pests, and disease. Even with frequent watering, summer-planted trees often experience transplant shock.
Instead, fall and early winter are the ideal seasons for tree planting in Sarasota. The cooler temperatures and increased rainfall create the perfect environment for roots to grow deep and strong before the next hot season arrives. By the time spring rolls around, the tree will be well-established and ready to thrive. While spring planting is still an option, it requires more careful watering and maintenance to prevent stress.

Why Are Native Plants Important for Your Landscape?
Native plants are a safe and recommended choice for your landscape because they’re naturally built to handle the local soil, climate, and conditions, which means less watering and fewer chemicals. They’re also excellent for the environment, helping pollinators like bees and butterflies while creating a haven for local wildlife. On top of that, native plants are tough—they resist pests and handle extreme weather better than non-native options.
Considering these reasons, choosing native plants isn’t just convenient—it’s also a fantastic way to create a more vibrant and sustainable yard. If you’re thinking about adding new trees but aren’t sure which ones will thrive and last, we’re here to help. Contact us to schedule an assessment, and we’ll work with you to create a tailored list of ideal tree species for your property.
What Trees and Plants Are Native to Sarasota?
Sarasota’s warm, humid climate and unique coastal environment make it an ideal place for a variety of native trees and plants. These species are naturally adapted to the region’s sandy soil, seasonal rainfall, and occasional hurricanes, making them resilient and low-maintenance choices for your landscape. By incorporating native plants, you’ll enhance your yard’s beauty while also supporting local wildlife.
Here are some excellent native options to consider:
- Live Oak (Quercus virginiana): A classic Southern tree, live oaks provide ample shade, strong hurricane resistance, and a stunning canopy that adds character to any property. Their deep roots and sturdy structure make them a great long-term investment.
- Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora): Known for its large, fragrant white flowers and glossy green leaves, the Southern Magnolia is a beautiful, evergreen tree that thrives in Sarasota’s climate. It offers year-round beauty and attracts pollinators.
- Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens): This hardy, slow-growing palm is a staple in Florida landscapes. Its fan-like leaves and dense growth make it a great choice for adding texture to your yard while also providing food and shelter for local wildlife.
- Firebush (Hamelia patens): A vibrant shrub with bright red-orange tubular flowers, firebush attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. It’s highly drought-tolerant and thrives in Sarasota’s heat, making it a perfect low-maintenance addition to your landscape.
- Coontie (Zamia integrifolia): As Florida’s only native cycad, coontie is a tough, drought-resistant plant with fern-like leaves. It’s an excellent ground cover that supports the endangered Atala butterfly, making it a valuable ecological addition to any yard.
