About Us
Top-Rated Tree Service in Fruitville, FL
Panorama Tree Care has been a family-run business since 2000, and Fruitville, the established east-Sarasota community wrapped around the Celery Fields, is full of the mature oaks and palms we specialize in.
When Hurricane Milton hit Sarasota County in 2024, just two weeks after Helene, the Fruitville area saw downed limbs and heavy rain, the kind of storm the Celery Fields was built to drain, and the kind that puts trees through roofs.
We help you stay ahead of it, thinning and bracing canopies before the season and clearing damage 24/7 after.
Trees here grow in sandy soil with a high water table, which leaves shallow roots, and the area’s sabal palms face the spread of Lethal Bronzing disease. Our arborists catch these problems early.
Because Fruitville and its neighbors, Kensington Park, Lake Sarasota and Desoto Lakes, are unincorporated, tree removal follows Sarasota County’s tree code and its Grand Tree protections. We handle every permit correctly.
You always deal directly with a certified arborist (ISA #FL-9569A), never a call center, backed by more than 24,000 completed projects across the region.
We serve all of Fruitville, ZIP codes 34240 and 34232, from the Celery Fields to the neighborhoods along Fruitville Road and out toward Kensington Park, Lake Sarasota and Desoto Lakes.

Our Services
Residential & Commercial Tree Services in Fruitville, FL
We provide complete tree care built for the Fruitville area’s conditions, big east-Sarasota oak canopies, sandy soil, the Celery Fields floodplain and hurricane wind. From a single hazardous tree to full canopy care, here’s how we help.
Tree Removal
The Fruitville area’s sandy soil and high water table leave even big, healthy oaks prone to leaning and uprooting in a storm. We use company-owned cranes to lift hazardous trees out cleanly over tight lots, protecting roofs, pools and driveways.
We follow ANSI A300 standards to thin and structurally prune the area’s mature live oaks and laurel oaks, reducing wind resistance ahead of hurricane season so your canopy is far less likely to fail.
Our grinders chase roots well below grade so old stumps don’t resprout or attract pests in Fruitville’s damp, sandy soil. We backfill and prep the spot for replanting or new sod.
Tree Permit & Grand Tree Compliance
Because Fruitville, Kensington Park, Lake Sarasota and Desoto Lakes are unincorporated, tree removal follows Sarasota County’s code. We handle the permit, the Grand Tree review for protected oaks, cypress and pines, and any required mitigation, so your project stays fully legal.
Tree Risk Assessment and Health Diagnosis
Our TRAQ-qualified arborists use advanced diagnostics to find hidden decay and storm cracking inside the area’s big oaks, damage common after hurricanes but invisible from the ground, then give you a clear, honest plan.
Deep Root Fertilization & Injection
Fruitville’s sandy soil leaves trees short on nutrients. We inject custom, slow-release fertilizer to the root zone to rebuild vigor in struggling oaks, magnolias and palms.
Commercial & HOA Tree Management
We offer scalable maintenance plans for Fruitville-area HOAs and commercial sites along Fruitville Road and the I-75 corridor, keeping canopies safe, clear and code-compliant year round.
24/7 Emergency Storm Response
When storms hit Sarasota County, as Hurricane Milton did in 2024, our pre-staged crews respond around the clock to clear roads, lift trees off homes, and make Fruitville-area properties safe, fast.
Root Barrier & Foundation Protection
To stop aggressive oak roots from cracking slabs, pool decks and driveways without killing the tree, we install subterranean root barriers, a smart fix for the area’s established lots.
Tree Relocation & Transplanting
Using hydraulic tree spades, we relocate healthy palms and specimen trees to better spots on your property, useful when a remodel or new pool would otherwise force removal of a tree worth saving.
Cable and Bracing (Structural Support)
Many of the Fruitville area’s grand oaks carry heavy, co-dominant limbs that split in high wind. We install cables and braces to support weak unions and extend the life of trees that would otherwise have to come down.
Permit Guide
Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Fruitville?
Usually, yes. Because Fruitville and nearby Kensington Park, Lake Sarasota and Desoto Lakes are unincorporated, tree removal follows Sarasota County’s tree code (Chapter 54, Article XVIII), which requires a permit to remove or relocate most trees, while routine trimming generally doesn’t unless the tree is on a Canopy Road or right-of-way. As ISA Certified Arborists, we handle the assessment and paperwork for you.
When a Permit Is Required
Sarasota County requires a permit to remove or relocate most trees on your property, though basic trimming usually does not, unless the tree sits on a designated Canopy Road or public right-of-way.
Grand Trees Are Protected
The County designates the largest specimens of 12 native species, live oak, bald cypress, hickory, pine and more, as Grand Trees based on a points score for trunk size, height and spread. Removing one needs a county permit and strong justification, so we work to preserve them first.
Storm Cleanup & Mitigation
After a storm, dead or genuinely hazardous trees can usually be cleared without delay, but healthy protected trees still call for replacement or mitigation. Codes change and vary by lot, so we confirm the current Sarasota County rules for your property before any work.

Hear from real customers about their experience with our crews. From hurricane cleanup to careful oak and palm work, our commitment to safe, tidy, professional service is why people across the region keep calling us back.
Tony Pagett is truly a professional from beginning to end. He was very prompt in returning my call to him and coming to my house to give me the estimate. He was right on time with his men and started working immediately. This was a very large tree with one of the largest of limbs right over the top of my house and right away you could tell these men were very professional in their skills. Had to be to get this tree down without any damage anywhere. When the crew left the next day they cleaned up all debris and raked the entire yard. A nice, polite bunch of guys. Thank You Tony for a job well done. I look forward to working with you again cleaning out my Grandfather Oak soon.
Tony and his team are great to work with. Tony was able to help me decide how to address tree problems that I had in my yard. His team worked VERY hard, despite the heat. I had tree branches that reached out over the edge of my property, over a lake, and they were able to remove the branches safely with no damage to people or trees. It has been over six months since the work was done and the trees are healthy and look great. The price was very reasonable and I love how well the team cleaned up everything before they left. This is a great tree service, you can choose them with confidence.
Three people showed up. One to trim the tree, and two to clean up. The tree has shape to it and has been thinned. It looks great. The owner Tony came and gave me the estimate and he told me how they would shape it and they did exactly what they said they were going to do. I can't recommend them enough! They showed up on time, the tree looks great, and the clean up was thorough. What more could you ask for?
