It is also referred to as an ATF permit. It is an After-the-Fact tree removal permit that is required for any trees already removed or destroyed effectively within the county. However, the application costs double than the normal one even in cost per tree.

The county of Miami-Dade has several plants that are considered prohibited. These are plants that are either non-native or exotic, growing outside their natural range. As a result, they take up a new habitat either through landscape or agricultural purposes. In the process, they can pose a danger to the current eco-system since there is no way of controlling them as it could be the case where they’re growing in their natural habitat.
Such plants can easily monopolize resources, displace wildlife or out-compete current native plants.
The government restricts the propagation of such plants and encourages their elimination.
Check the list of prohibited plants before planting your trees.

To qualify to make the list, you needed to have a minimum of 20 reviews total across a minimum of 2 different platforms. This can be Google, Facebook, Yelp, Yellow Pages, Angie’s List, Home advisor or any other 3rd party review platform. Curated reviews taken on personal websites were not counted.
The company needed to be in business for a minimum of 5 years.
We feel that years in operation is a big factor as it speaks volumes about the competence of the business as a whole. A lot of the business on the list have been in business for 10 years or more.
The GoTreeQuotes rating is a mathematical formula which takes into account the number for year in business, the number of reviews, as well as the average score.
We believe the provenance of a company and the number of reviews, is just as important as the average score. Just as long as that average score does not dip too much below the 4.0 mark.
The formula used:
Years in business X number of reviews / 1000 X Average score = GTQ rating
Example:
17 x 247/ 1000 x 4.95 = 208
Taking into account all three performance indicators of a business gives us a pretty accurate look at the overall satisfaction of customers while the tree service has been operating.
We found this to be the fairest and most precise way to do things.
Below are some more details on the companies in order as they appear on the list above.
Yes, you are allowed to trim your neighbour’s tree overhanging on your property. However, you have to follow set guidelines.

The average cost of tree removal is $871, while the average cost of tree trimming is $433. These numbers will vary greatly depending on the size of your tree(s) and what work needs to be done. Trees in hard to access properties will cost more to remove than a tree in a front yard with easy access. Please view our tree removal cost guide for more details.
Arborist can perform a wide variety of services including tree removal, tree trimming, palm trimming. root pruning, risk and hazard assessment and treatment of disease. That can also provide written arborist reports to present to council for tree removal permit applications.
If you ask a tree service 95% of the time they would be happy to give you the wood chips that were created from your tree being removed. Most of the time tree services struggle to get rid of them. Larger companies will store them and sell them on for a profit, but very few. Others give them to landscape suppliers free, who then sell them to the public.
This will depend on the size of the tree being trimmed, the number of branches you would like to remove and the location of the tree on your property. The average price for tree trimming is $433, but for palm tree trimming it’s $75. You will need to get a quote from your local tree service to get an accurate price.
This can cost anywhere from $100 – $500 depending on the size of the stump. The most time consuming part of stump removal is getting rid of the timber shavings created in the stump removal process. A lot of the time you can negotiate with your local tree service about leaving the shavings for a reduced price.
This will totally depend on the company you use, some companies offer their services on finance and others don’t, so if you need a finance option always check first before going ahead with the work.
You will need to check individual policies but as a general rule, the answer is no. If the tree has fallen and caused damage, then the tree removal is most likely covered, but you cannot claim for a tree that is still standing.
Fifty feet is usually classed as a medium tree and will set you back around seven hundred dollars depending on the type of tree and difficulty of the removal. Online you can find various tree removal calculators that can give you an idea of the price based on the details of the tree.
It is possible, but you are going to be hard pressed to get it done free. If the tree has comes down in a storm for example, your insurance will cover it. If you have a desirable Palm tree like a Date Palm, you might be able to get a company to come out and remove it for free as they can then sell it on. For 99.9% of cases, you will need to pay a tree cutting service to remove your tree.
Tree services and their workers are on on minimum wage, so there is not a huge obligation to tip. Tree services also charge like a wounded bull, so adding a tip on top based on a percentage of the price is just going to add insult to injury. Feel free to tip what you like, but it is not really expected.
