Our Services
Residential & Commercial Tree Services in Sarasota, FL
Our services cover the complete life of your trees, from health care and pruning to removal and cleanup. Here is a closer look at each service.
Tree Removal
We specialize in difficult removals, including trees in tight spaces and over structures. With cranes, rigging and trained climbers, we take trees down piece by piece without incident.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Good pruning is an investment in the long-term health of your trees. Deadwood comes out before it becomes a falling hazard.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Our grinders take stumps and surface roots well below grade so nothing resprouts. When we finish, you get clean, level ground you can actually use.
Tree Permit & Grand Tree Compliance
Many tree removals need official approval first, especially for large, protected specimens. Our team handles the forms, assessments and approvals so the project stays fully legal.
Tree Risk Assessment and Health Diagnosis
TRAQ-qualified arborists on our team assess tree health and structural risk professionally. You get a clear, honest report on what is safe, what needs work and what should come down.
Deep Root Fertilization & Injection
Struggling trees often just need the right nutrition delivered the right way. Regular treatments keep mature trees thriving through heat and drought.
Commercial & HOA Tree Management
From HOAs to office parks, we manage trees across properties of every size. The result is a safer property that always looks professionally kept.
24/7 Emergency Storm Response
Severe weather does not keep business hours, so neither does our storm crew. Fast response limits further damage and gets your household back to normal.
Root Barrier & Foundation Protection
Protecting your foundation does not have to mean removing a healthy tree. It is a one-time fix that spares both the tree and your foundation.
Tree Relocation & Transplanting
Our crews relocate palms and specimen trees with hydraulic tree spades. Careful handling gives transplanted trees the best chance to thrive.
Cable and Bracing (Structural Support)
Losing a mature shade tree to one weak fork is avoidable. Professional cabling and bracing reinforce those unions before they fail.

Permit Guide
Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Sarasota?
It depends on your address. Inside the City of Sarasota, you need a permit to remove almost any tree (other than citrus) over 4.5 inches in diameter or most palms; in unincorporated neighborhoods like South Sarasota and Desoto Acres, Sarasota County’s tree code and its Grand Tree rules apply instead. As ISA Certified Arborists, we confirm which applies and handle the paperwork for you.
When a Permit Is Required
Inside the City of Sarasota, you need a permit to remove or relocate almost any tree (other than citrus) over 4.5 inches in diameter, plus most palms. The city tags trees with an orange ribbon and inspects them before approving removal.
Grand Trees & Canopy Roads
Both the City and County give the strongest protection to Grand Trees and to the live oaks lining Sarasota’s canopy roads, like those in Desoto Acres. Removing one needs a permit and solid justification, so we work to preserve them first.
City Limits vs. Unincorporated
Your address decides the rules: inside city limits you follow the City of Sarasota tree code, while unincorporated neighborhoods like South Sarasota and Desoto Acres follow Sarasota County’s. Codes change and vary by lot, so we confirm the right one for your property before any work.
Areas We Serve
Neighborhoods & Communities We Serve Across Sarasota
From the city core to the surrounding communities, we cover the whole Sarasota area, and we know exactly which tree rules apply where. Here are a few of the neighborhoods we serve most.
North Sarasota, FL
North of downtown, including the historic Newtown neighborhoods, North Sarasota sits inside the city limits, so removals follow the City of Sarasota tree code. We keep its mature street canopy safe and compliant.
South Sarasota, FL
Just south of the city near Gulf Gate and Phillippi Creek, South Sarasota is largely unincorporated, so Sarasota County’s Grand Tree rules apply. We handle the county permits and the big oaks these established lots are known for.
Southgate, FL
One of Sarasota’s classic mid-century neighborhoods near Sarasota Memorial and Siesta Drive, Southgate is full of tall shade trees. We prune and remove them safely while protecting homes set close together.
Desoto Acres, FL
A large-lot, countryside community north of the city, Desoto Acres is known for its canopy roads and native landscaping. Those canopy-road oaks carry special protection, and we handle the Sarasota County permits to keep them healthy and legal.
Sarasota Homeowners Who Trust Panorama Tree Care
Our reputation is built on what homeowners say after the job is done. Homeowners call us for everything from routine pruning to emergency work, and they trust us to protect what matters most. Read their reviews below to see why.
Tony and crew are absolutely amazing. The price was great. The crew functions like a well-oiled machine. They worked both the front and back trees at the same time and so were able to complete the removal very very fast. The crew is both friendly and professional. We were never once scared for our windows, roof or pool cage. These men are very skilled at what they do. We are having them come back later and prune some dead branches, and the neighbors have already asked for Tony's card! You cannot go wrong with this company.
Tony Padgett and Panorama were recommended to us by our pool salesman. Tony came right out and gave us a very good price to remove the tree and to grind the stump. He was well aware of what the pool company would want and also knew about the permitting process from the county. Once permitted, his work crew showed up at the scheduled time and quickly performed all requested services. They also cleaned the yard up to my satisfaction. I have spoken to a few people regarding the price we paid and all have said Panorama's price was excellent. I have since referred them to a few other people looking for tree work.
Tony and crew did a great job. The initial callback was done immediately and Tony was very professional. On day of job Tony had 3 guys and also was there to supervise the entire job. We have an invisible fence for our dogs and Tony took extra care when grinding the stump to be sure there were no issues with underground wires. We will use Panorama again and would highly recommend.
