Emergency Tree Removal
A tree through the roof at 2 a.m. is not a call for voicemail. A person answers, and a crew rolls as soon as it's safe to work.
- Trees on roofs, cars, pool cages and fences
- Hangers and split trunks secured before the next band of weather
- Tarping coordination and photos for your adjuster
- FPL called first when a line is involved
Call (786) 767-5327 any hour. We price the emergency part separately, so routine cleanup isn't billed at storm rates.
Hurricane Damage Cleanup
After a named storm, a yard can look like a lumberyard tipped over. We work it in the right order: dangerous first, messy second.
- Uprooted and snapped trees cut up and hauled
- Broken limbs pulled out of canopies before they drop
- Debris kept off storm drains, mailboxes and low wires
- Stumps ground once the ground dries out
Not sure whose insurance covers the neighbor's tree? Read who pays when a tree falls in Florida before you call your agent.
Hurricane-Season Pruning
The best storm prep happens in the calm months. Pruning a few months before June 1 thins out sail-like crowns so the wind can pass through.
- Dead wood and weak limbs removed first
- Crown thinning, never topping or hatracking
- No more than 25% of the canopy taken at once
- Coconuts and heavy seed pods cleared from palms
Here's our checklist for getting trees ready for hurricane season. Miami-Dade says not to prune during a watch or warning, and we agree.
Palm Tree Removal
Some palms can't be saved. Lethal bronzing and Ganoderma butt rot both show up across Miami-Dade, and both end with the palm coming out.
- Royal, coconut, queen and sabal palms taken down in sections
- Stump ground so Ganoderma doesn't sit in the soil
- Honest advice on what to plant in that spot instead
- Crane access for tall palms over roofs and pools
Most palm removals run about $150 to $900, depending on height. Want to keep yours healthy instead? Start with our palm tree trimming cost guide.
Stump Grinding
A stump is a trip hazard, a termite snack and an eyesore. We grind it below grade and leave the spot ready for sod or a new tree.
- Ground 6 to 12 inches below grade
- Surface roots chased on request
- Sunshine 811 called before we grind below grade
- Chips hauled off or left as mulch, your call
Stump grinding usually runs about $2 to $5 per inch of diameter. A typical Miami stump comes in around $275.
Trimming Near Power Lines
FPL clears its main lines on a schedule, but it doesn't trim every tree. Branches around the line to your house are usually the owner's job.
- Service drop cleared by trained line-clearance trimmers
- FPL coordinated when the line needs to be shut off
- Palms and fast growers kept at least 10 feet off the wires
- OSHA's 10-foot rule followed on every job near lines
Never trim near a power line yourself. Call us and we'll sort out what's yours and what's FPL's.
Mangrove Trimming
Bayfront lots come with mangroves and a state law that protects them. We trim inside the rules, not around them.
- Homeowner trims allowed only on mangroves 6 to 10 feet tall
- Never cut below 6 feet or treated with chemicals
- Taller mangroves need a Professional Mangrove Trimmer
- Miami-Dade Class I permits handled for work over tidal water
Ask before you cut. The rules change once a mangrove passes 10 feet, and a bad cut is hard to undo.
Tree Relocation
Sometimes the tree is fine, it's just in the wrong spot. Moving a palm or a young tree can make more sense than cutting it down.
- Small trees moved with a tree spade
- Palms 10 to 20 feet tall moved by crane
- New hole dug and ready before the tree comes out
- Relocation permits filed when the county or city requires one
A small move often runs $300 to $700. Big palms moved by crane run about $1,000 to $5,000.
Land & Lot Clearing
Empty lots in South Dade fill in fast with Brazilian pepper and other weedy trees. We clear what needs to go and keep what's worth keeping.
- Brush, vines and invasive trees cleared
- Good native trees flagged and protected
- Lots cleared for a fence, a pool or a new build
- Debris hauled or mulched on site
Land clearing usually runs about $1,200 to $8,000 per acre, depending on how thick it is.
