Commercial & HOA

Tree care for communities and commercial properties.

One professional team for HOAs, property managers, builders, and small commercial across the greater Orlando area — annual contracts, written specs, and honest recommendations. We’d rather save your trees than sell you removals.

How we work

Community tree care on a plan, not a crisis footing.

Sacred Tree Service provides commercial and HOA tree care across the greater Orlando area from our base in Apopka, FL — annual maintenance contracts built around a tree inventory, ANSI A300 pruning cycles by zone, palm programs on the UF/IFAS cadence, TRAQ risk reports for the board, and priority storm response. It’s our Tree Care Plans model, scaled up from a single yard to a whole community.

The same philosophy applies at commercial scale as on a homeowner’s lot: we put every scope in writing, we don’t pad a contract with work your property doesn’t need, and when a tree can be saved instead of removed, we say so. Boards get numbers they can budget against. Managers get a crew that shows up when it says it will.

Who we serve

One team for boards, managers, builders, and owners.

Different properties, same fundamentals: written scopes, one defined process on every job, and work that stays on a calendar.

HOAs & communities

Annual contracts for common areas, streetscapes, and amenity spaces — with board-ready reports, per-zone pricing your association can budget against, and one written scope to hold us to.

Property & vacation-rental managers

Multi-property scheduling with one point of contact and one invoice. Palm trimming on the UF/IFAS cadence — healthier palms on fewer trims — through our palm tree services.

Builders & developers

Lot prep with specimen-tree preservation: we tag what stays, protect root zones during construction, and document the canopy for permitting. See our land & lot clearing service.

Small commercial

Offices, retail plazas, churches, and schools. Scheduled pruning that keeps canopy clear of roofs, signage, lighting, and walkways — worked around your hours, cleaned up before you open.

Annual contracts

What does an annual tree care contract include?

An annual contract with Sacred Tree Service covers the full cycle of care for a Central Florida community — inventory, scheduled pruning, palms, storm prep, and the documentation your board and insurer actually need.

  • Community-wide tree inventory & assessment

    Every tree in the common areas walked and assessed up front, so decisions come from a real baseline instead of guesswork — and year-two budgets get easier, not harder.

  • Scheduled pruning cycles by zone

    ANSI A300 pruning on a rotation, zone by zone, so the work is predictable, budgetable, and never a surprise assessment to the membership.

  • A palm program on the right cadence

    Dead and dying fronds only, per UF/IFAS — typically every 12–18 months. Healthier, fuller palms on fewer trims than the quarterly schedule many landscapers sell.

  • Storm-season prep + priority response

    A pre-June walk to flag weak unions and hazards before hurricane season — and priority post-storm triage for contract communities, structure hits first.

  • TRAQ risk reports for the board

    Written, photo-documented Level 2 risk assessments from our arborist consulting team — the format boards vote on and insurers file.

  • One point of contact

    One person who knows your property, your zones, and your history — no re-explaining the community to a new estimator every visit.

  • Documented COI & workers’ comp

    Certificates of insurance sent directly from our insurer for your files, renewed annually — the paperwork side handled before the first crew arrives.

Beyond the canopy

Vegetation management & stormwater sitework.

For site-services firms, HOAs, and property managers, we also handle the vegetation work that isn’t “tree service” on paper but lands on the same properties: retention pond and easement clearing, recurring vegetation maintenance after the initial clear, shoreline and property-line clearing, erosion repair, and post-storm site cleanup. Larger projects are phased with written scopes per phase, so budgets stay predictable from mobilization to closeout.

It pairs naturally with our land & lot clearing service — one contractor, one point of contact, one standard of documentation across the whole property.

Standards & liability

Why do credentials matter at commercial scale?

On a commercial property, tree work is a liability question before it’s a landscaping question — and an unwritten scope is a bid you can’t compare and a result you can’t verify.

Workers’ comp & general liability

If an uninsured crew member gets hurt on association property, the claim can land on the association or the owner. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation, documented and current — and the certificates come straight from our insurer, not a photocopy from us.

Certified arborists on staff

Assessments, specs, and risk calls are made by certified arborists on staff — a dedicated assessment specialty on our team, not a foreman guessing at what looks overgrown. That judgment is what your board is actually buying.

ANSI A300 written into the scope

We write the pruning standard into the scope — cut types, clearances, and limits per ANSI A300, topping prohibited. When every bidder is quoting the same written spec, your board can finally compare bids apples to apples.

Specs you can hold us to

A written spec is a promise you can verify. Boards and managers can walk the finished work against the document — and if something isn’t to spec, we come back and make it right.

Sacred Tree Service is a member of the ISA and TCIA — and you don’t have to take our word for the rest. See what Central Florida property owners say about working with us on our reviews page.

How it starts

From first walk to a standing calendar.

No pressure and no pre-sold spray calendars — a free property walk, a written scope, and work that earns its renewal every year.

  1. 01

    Property walk

    1 visit

    We walk the property with your board rep or manager — common areas, streetscapes, palms, preserve edges. We inventory what you have, flag hazards and priorities, and listen to what the community actually wants. The walk is free, like every estimate we do.

  2. 02

    Written scope & per-zone pricing

    days

    You get a written scope with ANSI A300 specs and pricing broken out per zone — so the board can approve the whole plan or phase it across budget years. Everything is quoted in person, in writing, free. No pressure, no padding.

  3. 03

    Scheduled work

    on the calendar

    Pruning cycles, palm visits, and plant health work go on a calendar instead of a crisis footing. We schedule around your community’s rhythms, give notice before crews arrive, and leave zones clean — the standard your residents and tenants will judge you by.

  4. 04

    Season-over-season continuity

    ongoing

    The same team returns year after year, so problems get caught while they’re still cheap: a weak branch union before hurricane season, a scale infestation before it spreads, a declining palm before it becomes a removal. A storm-prep walk before June is part of the rhythm.

Where we work

We’re based in Apopka, FL and serve commercial and HOA properties within a 50-mile radius — seven Central Florida counties covering the greater Orlando area:

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide COIs and workers’ comp documentation?

Yes. Sacred Tree Service is licensed and insured with general liability and workers’ compensation coverage, and we provide certificates of insurance (COIs) to HOAs, property management companies, and commercial owners across Central Florida as a standard part of onboarding. Certificates are sent directly from our insurer to your office — not forwarded copies — so you know the coverage is real and current, and renewals land in your files without you chasing them.

Do you do annual HOA tree maintenance contracts?

Yes — annual contracts are our Tree Care Plans model applied at community scale. A contract starts with a community-wide tree inventory and assessment, then puts the work on a calendar: ANSI A300 pruning cycles by zone, a palm program on the UF/IFAS cadence, seasonal plant health monitoring, and a storm-prep walk before hurricane season. Contracts run in annual terms, the initial property walk is free, and the board gets the full plan and pricing in writing before anything starts.

Can you produce reports our board or insurer will accept?

Yes. Our certified arborists on staff produce written, photo-documented TRAQ Level 2 tree risk assessments — the ISA’s structured risk framework that municipalities, insurance carriers, and HOA boards across Central Florida recognize. Each report covers target identification, likelihood of failure, likelihood of impact, and a final risk rating, formatted so a board can vote on it and an insurer can file it.

How do you handle storm response for communities?

Contract clients get priority triage. When a hurricane or severe summer storm moves through Central Florida, we work hazards in order: trees on structures first, then blocked roads and gates, then hanging limbs and next-day preventive work. Because we already know a contract community — where the big oaks are, which zones have targets underneath — triage starts before the truck arrives, and your community isn’t calling down a list of strangers at 7 AM after landfall.

Do you work with property management companies?

Yes. Sacred Tree Service works with property managers and vacation-rental managers across the greater Orlando area, including multi-property portfolios. We coordinate scheduling across your properties, keep one point of contact on our side, and consolidate the paperwork — one invoice, one COI on file, and one call to make when something comes down. Palm-heavy portfolios in particular benefit from a set trimming cadence instead of ad-hoc visits per property.
