With over 20 years of experience, ISA Certified Arborist®, John Butts, can accurately diagnose and recommend a plan of action to help you deal with symptoms of disease and decay if you’re looking to save a tree and prevent the spread of disease to other trees in your property.

If you’re looking to remove a tree for practical reasons or when removal becomes unavoidable due to disease or other safety concerns, Sarasota Arborist has the experience, equipment, and training to safely remove any size tree with minimal impact to the rest of your landscape.

The Sarasota Arborist crew members are highly-trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of arboriculture so you can count on a job well done every time.

As a child, John mowed lawns for extras cash during the summers and he’s been in the landscape business, to some extent, ever since. He relocated to Sarasota in 2004 to take a position as Golf Course Superintendent at The Oaks Club and, after 15 years in golf course management and course construction, he left to start his own business.

Since then, John has been lucky to work on some of the most beautiful properties in Sarasota and Manatee county and he has always stayed true to his philosophy...

Be better than the competition, work harder, and provide Siesta Key and the surrounding areas with great landscape!
