Miami-Dade County
Tree Service in South Miami
Subtropical Arborists provides tree care in South Miami, from single-family lots to HOA and commercial grounds.
01Local Context
South Miami mixes older homes with mature street trees and newer development. Canopy management, clearance pruning, and deadwood removal keep these trees safe near homes and sidewalks.
Both residential owners and property managers here rely on standards-based pruning rather than the topping still common in the local market.

03Questions
Tree care in South Miami.
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.
