Emerald Coast Bamboo and Palm Trees

Emerald Coast Bamboo & Palm Trees specializes in growing, installing, and maintaining palm trees and bamboo. The business grows trees and plants from seed and by division for Northwest Florida, with all trees raised to meet Fancy Florida A Ratings.

Clumping bamboos offered are non-invasive and work for privacy screening and erosion control. The company also raises ornamental grasses and agaves. Every project starts with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and project needs.

The retail division grows plants in Alabama, which means no sales tax charged to retail clients in Florida. Open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

In Florida, landscape contractors may or may not be required to hold a state license depending on the scope of work. The Construction Industry Licensing Board oversees contractor regulation. To determine whether a license is required for your project, verify the contractor through Florida's licensing portal, which allows you to search by name, license number, city, or license type.

Before hiring, ask your landscaper whether they hold a state license for the work planned. You can verify their status on the official Florida DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp. Licensed contractors are designated as either certified (license code starting with C, valid statewide) or registered (license code starting with R, valid only in specific jurisdictions).

Discuss your project scope upfront—whether you need installation, ongoing maintenance, design consultation, or specialty work like erosion control or irrigation. This helps clarify licensing requirements and ensures the contractor's qualifications match your needs.
