Network status in Boca Raton: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.
How the marketplace works for operators
- Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on TreeService.co by ZIP and service.
- We turn it into a quote request. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
- The request goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
- You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.
What's in a quote request
- ZIP code and matched town
- Service type and urgency (routine, soon, storm damage, emergency)
- Residential or commercial property
- Number of trees and approximate height
- Species, if the homeowner knows it
- Where the tree is and how equipment gets in
- What's near the work: power lines, structures, fences, pools, slopes
- A short description in the homeowner's words
- Photos, when provided
- Contact details and consent to be contacted
The Boca Raton market: what jobs look like
Boca Raton has manicured neighborhoods, golf communities, and waterfront homes with palms and tropical shade trees. Requests here are mostly palm maintenance, ficus and invasive removals, and storm prep.
Do you need a tree permit in Boca Raton?
For most homeowners, no. The city's Environmental Office says City Code Chapter 27 (Vegetation) doesn't apply to trees or landscaping within the property lines of single-family homes, owner-occupied two-family homes, or the enclosed courtyards of multi-family townhomes, so no city permit is required there (City of Boca Raton: Environmental Office FAQs).
Other properties are a different story. Work in the city right-of-way needs an Engineering right-of-way permit, and root pruning close to a tree can require an ISA Certified Arborist report. HOAs in Boca often have strict landscape rules of their own.
Trees and problems common in Boca Raton
- Royal palm
- Coconut palm
- Sabal palm
- Live oak
- Gumbo limbo
- Mahogany
- Sea grape
- Ficus
- Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina, also called weeping banyan) has aggressive roots, and UF/IFAS lists it among South Florida species with low wind resistance (UF/IFAS FR173).
- When mitigation applies, the city mitigates Category I and II invasive trees at a lower rate than other trees (Florida Invasive Species Council).
- Coconut palms over pools and patios need regular nut and frond removal.
Hurricane prep and storm cleanup
Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 (National Hurricane Center). Wilma (2005) caused heavy tree damage in Palm Beach County. Thin dense ficus and shade trees, and remove coconuts, before summer.
Report trees on lines to FPL. The city's planting setbacks follow FPL's Right Tree, Right Place guidelines, so ask about these when replacing trees.
Hiring a tree service in Boca Raton
Even without a city permit, your HOA may need to approve removals and may require a certificate of insurance before a crew can enter. Ask the company to handle HOA paperwork.

Before any digging or stump grinding: underground utilities have to be located first. In Florida that request goes through Sunshine 811 (Florida), or dial 811. Ask any operator whether they place the locate request before grinding.

What Boca Raton homeowners ask about
From our homeowner guide for Boca Raton.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree at my Boca Raton house?
Not from the city, if it's within the property lines of a single-family home or an owner-occupied two-family home. Your HOA may still need to approve it.
Can I prune tree roots near my patio?
The city says root pruning can't be done within 6 feet of the trunk or two-thirds of the dripline, whichever is farther, without an ISA Certified Arborist report.
