Florida Landscapes Look Less Crammed with Simple Groupings

Simple design goes a long way, as shown in this stunning waterfront property graced with begonias and coconut palms. Designed by Venice-based ArtisTree Landscape. Florida landscapes look better less crammed, and that’s putting it mildly if you listen to ArtisTree Landscape Designer Clinton Lak. “Florida newcomers enamored with our tropical…

ARE YOUR ARECA PALMS SHOWING SIGNS OF BORON DEFICIENCY?

With Sarasota’s unusually wet summer, ArtisTree’s crews have seen new cases of boron deficiency in areca palms. Boron can leach through the soil after one heavy rain, and the results aren’t pretty. According to the University of Florida’s IFAS Extension Service, one of the earliest symptoms is transverse translucent streaking…

Our Core Values

What can you say about employees whose livelihoods are governed by droughts, hurricanes, hailstones and mosquitoes? On any given day – when the sun beats down and customer demands must be met – we never forget to:

Do the right thing.
Communicate.
Be safe and watch out for each other.
Pursue growth through self-motivation and learning.
Leave the world better than we found it.

Our five core values are rooted in the essence of who we are: a company of proud, hardworking individuals with faces and names and families.

This weekend another neighbor stopped by to compliment me on the appearance of my house after your recent landscaping and paving work. This makes four neighbors since you finished the project a short month ago. I really didn’t expect a single person to stop by and comment on the landscaping. Four separate interactions are certainly exceptional; exceptional enough that it deserves a special “Thank You” to you, ArtisTree.
The project required the coordination of several work crews - those that removed the old driveway replacing it with new pavers, those that removed the old landscaping and installed the new plants and trees, the irrigation work crew, and then the lighting specialists. All did an exceptional job and they all coordinated their work to complete the work on schedule and on budget. I am very pleased with the new improved look of my residence, and apparently so are many of my neighbors. I have to confess to them that I had little to do with the final project – it was all ArtisTree.
I would like to extend a special thanks to Clinton Lak, the Landscape Architect who drew up the plans, coordinated the project, and held my hand during the work. The finished product was spectacular and he had everything to do with this result. Very good was not good enough for Clinton. He inspected the finished project, one that I was very happy with, and had a crew come back and make minor adjustments that he thought appropriate. Clinton is a true professional and a perfectionist! Clinton and all the workers on this project certainly lived up to ArtisTree's exceptional Mission Statement and held to your core values.
