What’s the Best Tree Species for Your Property?
The right trees can give your property long-term beauty, shade, and resilience. Native and Florida-friendly species thrive in the warm, coastal climate while requiring less maintenance. Live Oak provides excellent shade and durability, while Southern Magnolia adds elegance with fragrant blooms.
For fast-growing options, Slash Pine and Florida Maple are excellent choices. Cabbage Palms, the state tree of Florida, enhance tropical landscapes with minimal upkeep. If you’re looking for colorful options, Tabebuia and Royal Poinciana offer vibrant seasonal blooms.

Art's Tree Service’s Tree Planting Services
Planting trees is more than just digging a hole and placing a sapling inside. It requires careful planning and expert execution to ensure your trees thrive in Sarasota’s climate.
Here’s what we do to plant trees on your property:
- Tree selection: We help you choose the best tree species for your soil, space, and aesthetic goals.
- Site preparation: Our team evaluates the location for soil quality, drainage, and sunlight exposure.
- Proper planting techniques: We dig the right-sized hole, plant at the correct depth, and ensure proper root placement.
- Soil amendments and mulching: We use high-quality soil and mulch to retain moisture and improve soil structure.
- Watering and aftercare guidance: We provide instructions to ensure your trees receive the right amount of water and nutrients.
We also offer tree transplanting services.
How Often Should You Water New Trees?
Newly planted trees need consistent care in their early stages to help them establish strong roots, especially in Sarasota’s warm, often dry climate. Proper watering is one of the most important factors in ensuring long-term health and growth.
General watering guidelines that we recommend are:
- First 2 weeks: Water daily. This helps keep the root ball moist while the tree adjusts to its new environment.
- Weeks 3 to 12: Water every 2 to 3 days, depending on rainfall and temperature. You want the soil to stay moist but not soggy.
- After 3 months: Water weekly until the tree is well-established (typically around 1 year for most species).
Are All Trees Suitable for Transplanting and Replanting?
Transplanting can be a great way to preserve a mature tree during construction or reposition a tree to a more favorable location on the property. However, success depends on several factors, such as tree species, age, health, and the time of year, which all play key roles in determining how well a tree will adjust after being moved.
Younger trees generally transplant more easily than mature ones because their root systems are smaller and less established. Some species, such as maples, elms, and oaks, can tolerate transplanting better than others. On the other hand, trees with large, sensitive root systems or those that are already stressed by disease, pests, or poor soil conditions may not survive the process. That’s why we always assess each tree carefully before deciding if transplanting is a viable option.
What Is the Tree Transplanting Process?
Not every tree can thrive on your property, but if it’s likely that your desired tree species has a chance, we’ll make sure it does. When transplanting is feasible, our team of tree care professionals uses the best practices to give the tree you’ve chosen the best chance of survival.
This includes:
- Root pruning in advance (when possible)
- Selecting an ideal location with appropriate soil and light conditions
- Applying proper watering and care routines after the move
Whether we’re planting new trees or relocating existing ones, our goal is to ensure they thrive in their new environment and continue to add beauty and value to your landscape.
How Can We Keep Tree Roots From Growing Into Pipes?
Tree roots naturally seek out water sources, and unfortunately, this can lead them to underground pipes. To prevent tree roots from causing damage, we strategically place trees away from sewer and drainage lines.
Choosing slow-growing, non-invasive tree species can also help minimize the risk of root intrusion. If you’re concerned about existing trees near your pipes, our experts can assess the situation and recommend solutions to prevent future damage.
How Long Does the Tree Planting Process Take?
For us, the time it takes to plant a tree depends on several factors, including its size, the site conditions, and the number of trees being planted. Smaller trees can often be planted in under an hour, while larger, more mature trees may take several hours due to the need for heavy equipment and proper stabilization. If your property requires multiple trees, the process can take a full day or longer.
How Much Will Tree Planting Services Cost You?
The cost of professional tree planting services in Florida can vary based on several factors, such as the type and size of the tree, the number of trees being planted, site accessibility, and any additional services like soil conditioning, mulching, or irrigation setup. Every project is unique, and pricing reflects the level of planning, equipment, and care required to ensure successful planting and long-term tree health.
It’s also worth noting that in some Florida communities, there may be rebates or incentive programs available to help offset the cost of planting new trees. This is more often true if you’re choosing native species or participating in environmental restoration efforts.
Our team can guide you through available options and help you take advantage of local or county-level tree planting programs that promote greener, more sustainable landscapes across the state. All you have to do is ask.
