About Us
Building relationships, not just completing jobs
About Sunshine Tree
Founded in 2024, Sunshine Tree started as a small, family-owned business with one core belief: we're not just in the tree business—we're in the people business. Every job we take on is an opportunity to serve our community with care, professionalism, and heart.
What began with one truck and a mission to help local homeowners has grown into a trusted name in affordable tree trimming, expert tree removal, stump grinding, and landscape services across Southwest Florida. Today, we proudly serve Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and surrounding areas with dependable, top-rated service.
At Sunshine Tree, we believe in building relationships, not just completing jobs. Our team is professional, friendly, and driven by values like integrity, transparency, and reliability. Whether you need land clearing Bonita Springs for a new construction project or you're facing storm damage or giving your yard a fresh new look, we're here to make the process easy and stress-free.
Our mission is to deliver exceptional service while prioritizing safety, environmental responsibility, and most of all—your satisfaction.
