Services you want jobs for

By submitting, you agree that TreeService.co may contact you by phone or email about joining the network. We'll explain how job requests and fees work before you receive any jobs. See our Privacy Policy.

Network status in Fort Lauderdale: 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

  1. Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on TreeService.co by ZIP and service.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 Fort Lauderdale market: what jobs look like

Fort Lauderdale mixes canal-front homes, barrier-island condos, and older inland neighborhoods, with big tropical shade trees and lots of palms. Most requests involve palm trimming and removal, large canopy trees near pools and seawalls, and the city's tree permit.

Do you need a tree permit in Fort Lauderdale?

Often, yes. Fort Lauderdale's tree rules are in Section 47-21 of its Unified Land Development Regulations, which requires a tree permit before removing or relocating many trees and some palms on private property (Fort Lauderdale ULDR § 47-21). Size thresholds and palm rules are set out there, and the city's Landscaping Division reviews tree removal applications and replacement requirements (City of Fort Lauderdale: landscaping).

Because the thresholds are specific, confirm with the Landscaping Division (or through LauderBuild) before a crew removes anything sizable, unless you're relying on the state exemption for a dangerous tree at a single-family home.

Trees and problems common in Fort Lauderdale

  • Live oak
  • Gumbo limbo
  • Mahogany
  • Royal palm
  • Coconut palm
  • Sabal palm
  • Black olive
  • Sea grape
  • UF/IFAS studies of South Florida hurricanes found melaleuca, Australian pine, black olive, and queen palm among the poorer survivors, and gumbo limbo, sea grape, live oak, and sabal palm among the better ones (UF/IFAS FR175).
  • Coconut and royal palms over pools and docks need regular frond and nut removal.
  • Fatal palm diseases such as Ganoderma butt rot and lethal bronzing call for removal, not trimming (UF/IFAS PP100, PP163).

Hurricane prep and storm cleanup

Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 (National Hurricane Center). Wilma (2005) brought widespread tree damage to Broward. Crown cleaning and thinning before summer help, while topping and large pruning cuts make trees weaker (UF/IFAS FR173).

Report trees on lines to FPL. Before storm cleanup, photograph damage for insurance, and check city debris pickup instructions.

Hiring a tree service in Fort Lauderdale

Broward County's tree trimmer license ended under state law: after July 1, 2025 a county license is no longer required, but cities can still require training such as ISA certification or the UF/IFAS tree trimmer certification, and tree abuse can still be cited (UF/IFAS Extension Broward). Ask what training the crew lead has, and who pulls the city permit.

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 Fort Lauderdale homeowners ask about

From our homeowner guide for Fort Lauderdale.

Can I be fined for bad pruning in Fort Lauderdale?

Broward County and many cities enforce against tree abuse, such as pruning that doesn't follow ANSI A300, and the property owner can receive the notice. Hire crews who prune to standard.

Who handles a tree on a power line?

FPL. Don't touch the tree or the line, and keep people away.
