01Local Context
Palmetto Bay’s canopy runs to native gumbo limbo, live oak, and coastal species. The village values its tree cover, and standards-based pruning keeps mature trees healthy without over-cutting.
Proximity to Biscayne Bay means salt tolerance and wind exposure factor into how trees are pruned and assessed here.

03Questions
Tree care in Palmetto Bay.
Do I need a permit to trim my tree in Miami?
Tree pruning in Miami-Dade generally does not require a permit unless more than 25 percent of the live canopy is removed. Routine, standards-based pruning usually stays below that threshold. Tree removal, however, requires a permit for most species.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Miami-Dade?
Yes. Miami-Dade County requires a permit to remove most trees, with limited exemptions for certain species and prohibited invasives. An on-site assessment confirms whether a permit is required, and Subtropical Arborists can prepare the application.
What does an ISA Certified Arborist do?
An ISA Certified Arborist is trained and credentialed in the care of trees, including assessment, pruning to ANSI A300 standards, risk evaluation, and diagnosis. Subtropical Arborists is owned and operated by Benyah Andressohn, ISA Certified Arborist FL-286760A, who performs the work personally.
Can you give me a price from photos?
No. Every quote follows an on-site visit. Photos help prepare and prioritize the visit and can save an unnecessary drive, but they do not replace seeing the tree in person.
