Tree ServicesHazardous Tree Removal, Crane Rigging and Stump Grinding Sarasota Bradenton

Tree Removal

That tree leaning over your roof? Gone — safely, in one day.

Hazardous, dead, or just in the wrong place. We take it down, haul it off, and grind the stump if you want. Insurance-grade documentation included if you need it for a claim.

Tree Removal Guide & Pricing →
Free quote →

What's included

  • Full tree felling with rigging for tight spaces
  • Limb-by-limb takedown near houses, fences, pools, and power lines
  • Wood haul-off and complete site cleanup
  • Optional stump grinding (4″–6″ below grade)
  • Storm and emergency removal — usually within 24 hours

Why it matters

A leaning oak in a Florida summer isn't a maybe — it's a when. Removing a hazard tree before storm season is the cheapest insurance policy you'll buy this year.

Tree ServicesOfficial Cariño Bucket Truck Tree Trimming and Canopy Pruning Bradenton

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Healthier trees. Cleaner sightlines. Zero broken branches in your pool.

Seasonal pruning that actually protects the tree. We open the canopy for airflow, lift skirts off your roof, and shape for curb appeal — not chainsaw shortcuts.

Tree Trimming Guide & Pricing →

What's included

  • Crown thinning, raising, and reduction (ANSI A300 standards)
  • Deadwood removal — the #1 cause of branch failure
  • Storm-prep pruning before hurricane season
  • Palm cleaning and frond removal
  • Hauling, blowing, and full cleanup — we leave it spotless

Why it matters

Bad pruning kills more Florida trees than storms do. The wrong cut today is a $4,000 removal in three years. We do it right the first time.

LandscapingFlorida Custom Landscape Design, Tropical Plants and Stone Pathway Installation

Landscape Design

A yard that looks like the magazine — without the magazine price tag.

Custom designs built for Florida heat, sandy soil, and salt air. Plants that thrive here, not the ones the box store happened to truck in. We design, plant, and stand behind it.

Landscape Design Guide & Ideas →
Free quote →

What's included

  • Site walkthrough and custom design plan
  • Florida-Friendly plant selection (drought, salt, and pest tolerant)
  • Bed shaping, mulching, and edging
  • Sod installation and replacement
  • Decorative rock, river stone, and natural borders

Why it matters

A great landscape adds 5–15% to home value — a bad one drags it down faster than a chipped driveway. The math is simple. Do it once, do it right.

IrrigationSprinkler and Irrigation Repair, Zone Calibration Sarasota Bradenton

Irrigation & Sprinklers

What's included

  • New system design and installation
  • Head replacement, valve repair, broken-line fixes
  • Smart controller setup with rain sensors

About Cariño

Same family. Same trucks. 25 straight years.

We started Cariño in 2000 with one truck and one rule: treat every yard like it's our mom's. A quarter century later, that's still the rule. We're not a franchise. We're not a national chain pretending to be local. We're the same family that's been clearing your neighbor's oaks and edging your block's lawns since the year you maybe still had dial-up.

That's why we're A+ BBB rated, why our customers stay for decades, and why our trucks still pull up driveways your kids grew up on.

“Affordable. Experienced. Reliable.” — Our promise since 2000
Why Cariño

The 6 reasons your neighbors stopped calling anyone else.

You've already had the no-show. The mystery invoice. The crew that left tire ruts in the lawn. Here's the difference when you call us.

1. On time. Or the first hour is on us.

You get a real arrival window — not "sometime Tuesday." If we miss it without calling first, you don't pay for the first hour. Simple.

25 years · we keep our word

2. Honest, written quotes. Period.

You see every line item before we lift a saw. No "while we're here" upsells. No surprise charges hiding in the email a week later.

Free estimates · no pressure

3. A+ rated by the BBB.

The Better Business Bureau gives us the highest possible score. That doesn't happen by accident — it happens because we fix it when something's wrong, every time.

Highest possible BBB rating

4. We leave it cleaner than we found it.

Raked, blown, hauled, edges sharp. If a single leaf is left where it shouldn't be, we don't drive away.

Full cleanup, every visit

5. Same family. Same crew. Same standards.

We don't subcontract. The guy who quoted you is the guy who knows your yard. That's how we know what changed since last time.

Family-owned since 2000

6. Fully licensed & insured ($2M Policy).

Liability and workers' comp on every crew, every truck, every job. If something happens, you're covered — not exposed.

FL licensed · fully insured
Bottom line:

You can keep flipping a coin on the next "lawn guy" off Facebook. Or you can call the family that's been doing it right since 2000.

Yes, 100%. Cariño Complete Lawn & Tree Services Inc. is fully licensed in Florida and carries comprehensive general liability insurance as well as Workers' Compensation on every crew, truck, and job. You are never on the hook or exposed to liability if an accident happens on your property. We are also proud to hold an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Most yard companies give you a vague window and leave you waiting all day. We flip it: you get a real arrival time window, and if our crew doesn’t show up on time without calling first, the first hour of work is on us (Free).

Never. Every single job is performed by our own experienced, uniformed, in-house family crew. The specialist who gives you your written estimate is the same team that knows your property and completes the work.

The cost depends on the size of the tree, its species, its location (such as proximity to roofs, screened lanais, pools, or power lines), and site accessibility. However, we always provide Free Written Estimates with every line item clearly detailed before we lift a saw—no mystery charges or surprise upsells.

No, you do not need to be home as long as our crew has clear access to the yard or work area (unlocked gates and pets secured indoors). Once you approve our written quote, we will arrive on time, complete the job safely, and leave your property spotless.

Absolutely. Full property cleanup is included in every job we do. We rake, blow off all hard surfaces, and haul away all branches, heavy logs, and clippings. We leave your yard cleaner than we found it.

Yes! Florida storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes can snap heavy limbs or uproot oaks without warning. We offer fast emergency tree removal—usually within 24 hours—to safely clear fallen trees off roofs, driveways, fences, and structures.

In most cases, if a fallen tree damages a covered structure (like your roof, garage, pool cage, or fence) or blocks your driveway, homeowner's insurance will cover the removal. We include insurance-grade itemized documentation and photos to help you process your claim smoothly.

Permit rules depend on your municipality, HOA guidelines, and the health or location of the tree. Under Florida law, residential homeowners often have exemptions when a tree is dead, diseased, or poses an unacceptable safety hazard to structures. During your free on-site estimate, we will guide you on any local requirements.

As a local, family-owned company since 2000, we proudly serve homeowners and businesses across Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Venice, Osprey, Nokomis, and all surrounding neighborhoods in Sarasota and Manatee County.
