Services you want jobs for

By submitting, you agree that TreeService.co may contact you by phone or email about joining the network. We'll explain how job requests and fees work before you receive any jobs. See our Privacy Policy.

Network status in Sarasota: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.

How the marketplace works for operators

  1. Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on TreeService.co by ZIP and service.
  2. We turn it into a quote request. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
  3. The request goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
  4. You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.

What's in a quote request

  • ZIP code and matched town
  • Service type and urgency (routine, soon, storm damage, emergency)
  • Residential or commercial property
  • Number of trees and approximate height
  • Species, if the homeowner knows it
  • Where the tree is and how equipment gets in
  • What's near the work: power lines, structures, fences, pools, slopes
  • A short description in the homeowner's words
  • Photos, when provided
  • Contact details and consent to be contacted

The Sarasota market: what jobs look like

Sarasota has bayfront neighborhoods with large live oaks and banyans, older inland streets, and barrier-island homes exposed to Gulf storms. Requests here involve protected and grand trees, storm-damaged oaks, and palms.

Do you need a tree permit in Sarasota?

Inside City of Sarasota limits, tree protection is in Division 3.1 of the Zoning Code (Sarasota Zoning Code: tree protection), and the city's Development Services department handles tree permits (City of Sarasota: tree protection). Removing a protected tree generally needs a permit.

Grand trees get the strongest protection; the code limits their removal to specific situations such as advanced decline or an imminent safety hazard. There's a simpler process for owner-occupied single-family homes removing trees that aren't grand trees. Confirm the details with the city before work starts.

Sarasota County, Venice, North Port, and Longboat Key each have different rules.

Hurricane prep and storm cleanup

Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 (National Hurricane Center). Milton made landfall near Siesta Key in 2024, weeks after Helene's surge. Spring is the time for crown cleaning and limb reduction over roofs.

Report trees on lines to FPL. After a storm, document damage before removal and check whether the city has waived any requirements for storm-damaged trees.

Hiring a tree service in Sarasota

Ask whether the tree qualifies as a grand tree, and who will handle the city permit. For a declining grand tree, an ISA Certified Arborist's written assessment helps the city review it.

What Sarasota homeowners ask about

From our homeowner guide for Sarasota.

Can I remove a grand tree in Sarasota?

Only in limited situations, such as advanced decline or an imminent hazard, unless the state exemption applies to a single-family home. Check with the city first.

Do City of Sarasota rules apply on Siesta Key?

Siesta Key is mostly in unincorporated Sarasota County, so county rules generally apply there.
