Our Services
Residential & Commercial Tree Services in Longboat Key, FL
We take care of trees at every stage, from young plantings to the safe removal of mature giants. See below for what each service includes.
Tree Removal
If a tree has become a hazard or simply has to go, we remove it start to finish. We protect everything below the canopy and leave the site clean when we are done.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Correct trimming at the right time of year makes trees healthier and safer. Every cut is made correctly so the tree heals fast and grows stronger.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Our stump grinding reaches deep below the surface, not just the visible top. We haul away the grindings on request and leave the area tidy.
Mangrove Trimming & Coastal Permitting
Restoring a water view through mangroves takes expertise and proper authorization. You get a better view and healthy mangroves, without any regulatory risk.
Tree Risk Assessment and Health Diagnosis
Our TRAQ-qualified arborists inspect trees for hidden decay, cracks and structural weakness. We tell you plainly which trees can be saved and which pose a real danger.
Deep Root Fertilization & Injection
Deep root fertilization delivers nutrients right where trees absorb them. It restores nutrients and rebuilds vigor in stressed or declining trees.
Commercial & HOA Tree Management
Property managers trust us with tree care across offices, retail sites and communities. We handle the trees so you can focus on running the property.
24/7 Emergency Storm Response
Our emergency line is answered 24/7, every day of the year. From the first call to final cleanup, we move quickly and work safely.
Root Barrier & Foundation Protection
When roots head toward your foundation, a barrier solves it without losing the tree. Roots are redirected deeper, away from anything they could damage.
Tree Relocation & Transplanting
With specialized equipment, even large trees can be moved and replanted successfully. You keep the value and shade of a mature tree in a better location.
Cable and Bracing (Structural Support)
Even healthy-looking trees can hide poor structure in their main unions. We fit support hardware that takes the strain off vulnerable limbs.

Permit Guide
Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Longboat Key?
It depends on your property. Under the Town of Longboat Key tree code (Chapter 98), single-family homes with an existing house are largely exempt, but you still need a permit to remove mangroves, and tree removal on multi-family, commercial and vacant lots requires Town approval. As ISA Certified Arborist-led crews, we handle the assessment and paperwork for you.
When a Permit Is Required
Single-family homes are mostly exempt, but the Town requires a permit to remove trees on multi-family, commercial and vacant properties, and mangroves always need authorization. Removed trees must be replaced two-for-one, or a fee applies.
Mangroves & Exotics
Mangroves are protected by Florida law and need authorization to trim, while nuisance exotics like Brazilian pepper, Australian pine and carrotwood can be removed with no permit at all. We know which is which.
Storm-Damaged Trees
After the 2024 hurricanes, the Town clarified that individual trees killed or severely damaged by a declared disaster don’t need a removal permit. Codes change and vary by lot, so we confirm the current Longboat Key rules for your property before any work.
Longboat Key Homeowners Who Trust Panorama Tree Care
Nothing tells you more about a company than the words of its customers. Homeowners call us for everything from routine pruning to emergency work, and they trust us to protect what matters most. Take a moment to read what they have to say.
We are long term clients of Panorama Tree Care for over 30 years. If you have large oak trees, you want the best to inspect and care for your trees. Tony Padgett does a great job in doing all kinds of tree work. Recently, he removed the top of a very large oak that was growing over our house and pool cage and reshaped a huge ligustrum tree. His crew carefully removed each section of the massive oak limb using a bucket lift to cut and lower the large limb sections to the ground without damaging our house or pool cage. The clean-up was great! I highly recommend Tony and Panorama Tree Care.
Tony Padgett and his team are top-tier professionals. I hired Panorama Tree Care for a high-stakes removal involving two large trees. Tony's expertise as a Certified Arborist was clear from the start. His pricing was fair, his communication was transparent, and his knowledge of tree biology and structural impact is top-tier. If you need a "scientific" approach to tree removal, Panorama is the best in Tampa.
Tony's knowledge and professionalism were obvious as soon as we started talking. His team arrived early and I can't emphasize enough how impressed I was by their teamwork and efficiency. Respectful of nature, they found a protected hawk's nest high in one of my trees and avoided working close to it. They cleaned up as they worked and gave me a light, airy backyard again with healthy looking trees.
FAQs
Longboat Key Tree Service: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle emergency storm damage after a hurricane?
Yes, we respond 24/7. When Helene and Milton struck Longboat Key two weeks apart in 2024, our crews cleared Gulf of Mexico Drive and lifted trees off homes. Storm-killed trees can also be removed without a Town permit, which keeps cleanup moving.
Do you trim mangroves on the bay side?
Yes. Mangroves are protected by Florida law, so no mangrove may be cut below six feet and larger jobs need a professional trimmer. We keep every cut legal while preserving your water view and dock access.
