Dot Palm Landscaping & Tree Services is based in Marathon, FL, with a local office, equipment yard, and a dedicated crew that lives and works in the Middle Keys. From tree trimming and removal to mangrove trimming, landscape maintenance, and new landscape installation, our licensed and insured teams handle residential and commercial properties from throughout Marathon.
Marathon is home for us, not a service stop at the end of a long drive. That means faster response times, local crews who know the conditions on the island, and the right equipment staged locally for everything from a routine palm trim to a full landscape installation. Salt exposure, high winds, hurricane season, and tight Keys lots all demand a crew that does the job right the first time, and Dot Palm has built its reputation here doing exactly that.
Regular tree trimming keeps your trees healthy, safe, and looking their best, and timely removal protects your property when a tree becomes a hazard. Overgrown or neglected trees drop limbs, block light and views, crowd structures, and become far more dangerous in high winds. Our crews trim to support each tree’s natural structure and long-term health, and when a tree is dead, dying, storm-damaged, or threatening a structure, we take it down safely.
Our Marathon tree service includes:
We avoid harmful practices like over-trimming and “hurricane cutting” that stress trees and shorten their lives. For removals, our crews use bucket trucks, climbing equipment, and chippers to complete the work safely while protecting the surrounding property.
Mangroves protect Keys shorelines, but they are also a regulated species, and improper trimming can bring fines. If your waterfront view is overgrown or your mangroves need maintenance, our crews trim them correctly and within the rules so you keep your view and your shoreline protection intact.
Our Marathon mangrove service includes:
Mangrove trimming rules are strict, and the penalties for getting it wrong are real. Hire an expert like Dot Palm when it comes to trimming your mangroves.
A clean, well-maintained property holds its value, looks great, and stays healthier in the Keys climate. Whether you own a home, manage a vacation rental, or oversee a commercial property or HOA, our Marathon-based crews keep your landscape sharp on a schedule that fits your needs.
Our Marathon landscape maintenance includes:
Because we are based right here in Marathon, we show up reliably, on-time, and also keep your property looking its best.
Whether you are starting from bare ground or upgrading a tired landscape, our crews design and install plantings built to thrive in Keys conditions. From new palms and salt-tolerant plantings to mulch, rock, and full property refreshes, we help Marathon property owners create outdoor spaces that look great and hold up to salt, sun, and wind.
Our Marathon installation and enhancement services include:
We choose plant material that fits your property, your goals, and the realities of growing in a salt-and-wind environment, so what we install continues to thrive and grow for years to come.
Landscaping and tree work in the Middle Keys is not the same as work on the mainland. Tight island lots, salt and wind exposure, protected species like mangroves, and the constant threat of storms all demand a crew that knows the local conditions. Dot Palm is based in Marathon, so we are not driving in from somewhere else, we are working in our own backyard.
Here is what sets us apart:
From the first quote to the final cleanup, our goal is to make professional landscaping and tree care easy and worry-free.
