Mangrove Trimming Estimates

Estimates can be given even if the homeowner is not available (as long as access is granted to the property) or by appointment when the owner or agent for the property is at the home. We gladly answer all questions about the laws that govern mangrove trimming and give experienced recommendations of what can be done to maximize the client's waterfront view. Estimates are free and give a full, written explanation of services to be provided.

All work is done under the guidelines of the 1996 Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act, and under the supervision of a Certified Trimmer to insure compliance. Coastal Planting Service is, of course, fully licensed and insured.

"I’m so appreciative of the work you did trimming the mangroves, allowing me to see the beauty of the Intracoastal Water Way and the lagoon. When I bought this house it never occurred to me that our wonderful look at the fabulous river would not be available forever."

"Coastal Planting Service has been contracted to do a number of Mangrove trimming projects within the county. It is our opinion that they are well qualified in interpreting specific conditions described in mangrove permits that provide for the long-term health of the tree. They have demonstrated a knowledge of coastal wetland communities and we believe have performed their contracted trimming with diligence and care."
