Trees are more than just a beautiful part of your landscape—they provide shade, boost property value, support local wildlife, and improve air quality. But when trees become overgrown, diseased, damaged by storms, or pose safety risks, professional care becomes essential. That’s where Rick Richards Inc. steps in with decades of expertise and a commitment to excellence.
Serving Myakka City, Sarasota, and surrounding areas (including nearby Tampa Bay communities), Rick Richards Inc. has been delivering top-quality tree services since 1987. With more than 60 years of combined experience and a team of ISA Certified Arborists, we handle everything from routine maintenance to emergency storm response.
Our Comprehensive Tree Services
We offer a full range of solutions tailored to residential, commercial, and municipal properties:
- Tree Trimming & Pruning — Proper pruning promotes strong structure, improves aesthetics, increases sunlight penetration, and reduces the risk of disease. We follow industry best practices to ensure long-term tree health rather than just a quick “haircut.”
- Tree Removal — When a tree is dead, dying, hazardous, or in the way of construction, our team safely removes it with minimal impact to your property.
- Stump Grinding — Eliminate unsightly and hazardous stumps so you can reclaim your yard for landscaping, patios, or new plantings.
- Storm Damage Cleanup & Emergency Services — Florida weather can be unpredictable. We respond quickly to fallen trees, broken limbs, and other storm-related issues to restore safety and order.
- Cabling, Bracing & Lightning Protection — Protect valuable or structurally weak trees from failure with targeted support systems.
- Root Pruning & Health Care — Address root issues, apply specialized treatments like root drench fertilization, mycorrhizal fungi inoculation, trunk injections, and stress recovery programs to keep trees thriving.
- Disease Diagnosis, Treatment & Risk Assessments — Our certified arborists identify problems early and recommend science-based solutions to preserve your trees.
We work in all kinds of environments—from roadside canals and retention ponds to beachfront condos on Longboat Key—always prioritizing safety, environmental stewardship, and compliance with local regulations.
