Tree Service in Miami, Florida

Miami’s tree canopy is unlike anywhere else in the country. Towering royal palms line our boulevards, century-old live oaks shade Coral Way, banyans drop their aerial roots over Coconut Grove sidewalks, and gumbo limbos — the “tourist trees” — flash their red, peeling bark all over the city. Caring for that canopy takes more than a chainsaw and a truck. It takes crews who know how each of these species grows, fails, and recovers in a subtropical climate that throws a hurricane season at them every single year.

Grove Tree Service & Landscaping has provided professional tree service in Miami since 1981. We’re locally owned — not a franchise — with an ISA Certified Arborist on staff, a 5.0-star Google rating from dozens of verified reviews, and 45+ years of hands-on experience with South Florida trees.

Hurricane Season Is a Fact of Life Here

From June through November, every tree in Miami is a potential windsail. The difference between a tree that rides out a storm and one that ends up on a roof usually comes down to what happened in the months before: was the canopy thinned to let wind pass through? Were dead limbs and over-extended branches removed? Was a leaning trunk or root problem caught early?

That’s why we urge Miami property owners to schedule hurricane preparation in winter or spring — well before the June rush. And when a storm does hit, our emergency crews respond 24/7 across Miami-Dade County and work with your insurance company on documentation.

Permits: Miami Takes Its Trees Seriously

Miami-Dade County (under Chapter 24 of the County Code) and several of the cities of Miami regulate tree removal, and unpermitted removal can bring significant fines. Some work is exempt — rules differ by municipality and by tree size, species, and condition — but you should never assume a tree can simply come down. Our ISA Certified Arborist prepares the arborist reports and permit applications most removals require, and our Miami-Dade Tree Permit Guide walks you through the whole process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Service in Miami

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Miami?

In most cases, yes. Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami both require permits for most tree removals, with exemptions that vary by municipality — commonly for certain invasive species. Our ISA Certified Arborist handles the reports and applications for you, and our Miami-Dade Tree Permit Guide covers the details.

When should I trim my trees before hurricane season?

Aim to complete structural and wind-resistance pruning by late spring, before the season begins June 1. February through May is ideal in Miami — trees heal quickly heading into the growing season, and you avoid the pre-storm scheduling rush.

Can you handle Miami’s large banyans and royal palms?

Yes. After 45+ years in Miami we’ve worked on virtually every species the city grows — banyans and ficus with their massive aerial root systems, royal and coconut palms that need careful frond and seed-pod management, live oaks, black olives, mahoganies, and gumbo limbos. We have the equipment and personnel for any job size and type.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Miami?

Yes. We hold Miami-Dade County License #1216720 and City of South Miami Licenses #2026-0134 & #2026-0135, we’re an approved vendor for the City of Coral Gables and the Village of Pinecrest, and we’re fully insured — general liability, auto, workers’ compensation, and umbrella coverage — with a Certificate of Insurance available on request.
