Primary Services
What We Get Called For Most
These seven are the bulk of our work, and they are available across every area we serve.
Forestry Mulching
We grind palmetto, underbrush and especially the extremely invasive Brazilian Pepper in place, leaving your mature native trees standing and the ground open and walkable.
See Forestry Mulching → Land Clearing
Complete lot clearing with excavator and root rake, plus fill dirt delivered and compacted for a house pad. No deposit and no long wait.
Average $5,000 to $9,000 for a standard lot clearing.
See Land Clearing → Emergency Hurricane Tree Removal
Storm damage crews for trees on houses, dangerous removals and emergency roof tarping, available 24 hours a day across Sarasota, Charlotte and Manatee Counties.
See Emergency Tree Work → Lake Bank Restoration & Erosion Repair
ACI rebuilds eroded retention pond and lake banks with regrading, rip rap, coir logs and the PondTech plank system, priced by the linear foot.
$50 to $100 per linear foot
See Lake Bank Restoration → Drainage Ditch & Canal Maintenance
We clear years of tree growth and sediment out of neglected ditches, swales and canals so stormwater moves the way the system was built to move it.
See Drainage & Canals → Lake & Preserve Management
Monthly lake and pond care with quarterly preserve inspections, built to control invasive plants and keep your stormwater system working.

Additional Services
Usually booked alongside the work above, and just as often on their own.
Stump Grinding
One stump or hundreds, any species, ground out clean with our own turbo diesel machine anywhere from Sarasota to Punta Gorda.
See Stump Grinding → Arborist Letters & Tree Risk Assessments
An ISA Certified Arborist inspects the tree, documents the risk and writes the letter your HOA or your city needs before a hazardous tree comes down.
See Arborist Letters → Fill Dirt, House Pads & Driveway Prep
We bring in fill, set the grade and compact it, so your house pad, driveway or parking area sits on ground that drains right and stays put.
See Fill Dirt & Grading → Invasive Plant and Brazilian Pepper Removal
One time removal of Brazilian pepper, Australian pine and other listed invasive species by mulching, hand cutting or selective herbicide treatment.

Straight Answers
Before You Call Anyone
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free and there is no obligation. Text a photo of what you are looking at to 941-445-3027 and we can usually tell you a lot before we even come out.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry workers compensation and general liability insurance, and we have an ISA Certified Arborist on staff. Tree work is statistically one of the most dangerous jobs there is, and a lot of outfits doing it are a couple of guys with a chainsaw. Ask anyone you hire for proof of both.
How far do you travel?
We are based in Venice and work across Sarasota, Charlotte and Manatee Counties as a matter of routine. After a hurricane we travel further, because storm work is a large part of what we do.
How do you take payment?
Cash, check or credit card. There is a 3 percent fee on card payments.
