An interest form, not a contract: no payment, no commitment.

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 Miami: 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 Miami market: what jobs look like

Miami's trees grow in shallow soil over limestone, in a tropical climate with a long hurricane season. Most requests here involve big shade trees over houses and swales, palms that need cleaning or removal, and getting a City of Miami tree permit sorted before any cutting.

Do you need a tree permit in Miami?

Usually, yes. The City of Miami's tree chapter (Chapter 17 of the City Code) says no one may remove or relocate a tree on property it covers without first getting a tree permit, unless an exemption applies (City of Miami: tree information). The city's standalone permit page covers removal, relocation, and heavy trimming on private property and in the swale, plus after-the-fact permits (City of Miami: standalone tree permit).

Expect to submit a site sketch or survey showing the trees, a tree disposition plan, and photos. The city notes an arborist report isn't always required up front but is often requested during review. Swale trees between the sidewalk and the street are public trees, so don't let a crew cut one on a handshake.

This page is about the City of Miami. Coral Gables, Miami Beach, and unincorporated Miami-Dade each have their own rules, and many addresses that say "Miami" are in one of those.

Trees and problems common in Miami

  • Live oak
  • Gumbo limbo
  • West Indian mahogany
  • Royal palm
  • Coconut palm
  • Black olive
  • Strangler fig
  • Sea grape
  • Shallow rooting: UF/IFAS notes trees growing in shallow soils, such as in Miami-Dade, are more likely to blow over than trees rooted more deeply (UF/IFAS FR173).
  • Non-native species with poor hurricane survival in UF/IFAS studies include melaleuca, Australian pine, black olive, and queen palm (UF/IFAS FR175).
  • Invasive trees such as Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, and earleaf acacia are on the Florida Invasive Species Council list and are common removal jobs.
  • Palms: lethal bronzing and Ganoderma butt rot are fatal palm diseases (UF/IFAS PP163, UF/IFAS PP100). Ask for a diagnosis before paying to trim a declining palm.

Hurricane prep and storm cleanup

Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 (National Hurricane Center). The best time for structural pruning is before June, not when a storm is in the forecast and every crew is booked.

UF/IFAS research after Hurricane Andrew and later storms found native species such as live oak, gumbo limbo, and sabal palm survived better than many non-natives, and that well-pruned trees fared better than topped ones (UF/IFAS FR175, FR173). Ask for crown cleaning and reduction to ANSI A300 standards, not "hurricane cuts" or lion-tailing.

After a storm, anything touching a power line is FPL's job: stay away and report it. For trees on the house, photograph everything before work starts and call your insurer. Storm debris pickup rules are announced per storm, so check the city's instructions before stacking debris.

Hiring a tree service in Miami

Miami-Dade County requires anyone in the business of landscaping, including tree trimming and tree removal, to hold a County landscaper permit, which in turn requires a current Miami-Dade Local Business Tax Receipt (Miami-Dade County: landscaper permit). Ask to see it, along with the vehicle decal.

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 Miami homeowners ask about

From our homeowner guide for Miami.

Can I trim a tree in Miami without a permit?

Routine pruning done to standard is generally fine, but the City of Miami treats heavy trimming as permit-required work, and any work on a swale tree needs city approval. Check the city's tree permit page before major cuts.

My address says Miami. Do City of Miami rules apply?

Only if the property is inside City of Miami limits. Coral Gables, Miami Beach, and unincorporated Miami-Dade have their own tree rules. The county property appraiser's record shows the municipality.

Pricing and fees

Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.

Can I get job requests from Miami through TreeService.co?

That's what this page is for. Send your company details and service area, and we'll follow up about routing Miami quote requests to you. The network is new, so we'll be clear about request volume before you commit.

Do I need an office in Miami?

No. You need to actually serve Miami or the ZIP codes you choose. We won't list you anywhere you don't work.

Who pays?

Homeowners don't pay to request quotes. Operators pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing; we'll go over it with you before you receive any jobs, and filling in the interest form doesn't commit you to anything.

What kinds of jobs come through?

Residential and commercial requests for tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, emergency and storm damage, and land or lot clearing. You choose which services and which areas you want.
