Service Area FAQs

Do you charge travel fees?

No travel surcharge anywhere in Charlotte, Sarasota, Lee, or Collier counties. Manatee and DeSoto counties are extended service areas where a small travel fee may apply — always quoted upfront, and usually waived for multi-lot builder work.

What if my city isn't listed?

Call 941-315-2772 — we cover a wide area from our Port Charlotte base and can usually accommodate nearby locations in Hardee, Highlands, Glades, or Hendry counties depending on the job.

Is pricing the same in every area?

Yes. Gopher tortoise surveys are $350 per quarter acre and relocation starts at $1,400 (up to 2 tortoises, FWC permit application included) across the entire service area.
