Will you remove the stump when you remove the tree?

Stump removal is a separate service from tree removal. We offer stump grinding at the time of tree removal at a discounted rate — most homeowners bundle them to save on mobilization costs. Ask us about combining both services when you call for your estimate.

The Process

What Does Tree Removal Involve?

Whether you found us searching for tree removal near me or were referred by a neighbor, professional tree removal in Miramar, FL starts before the first cut is made. Our crew assesses the tree's structure, lean, and drop zone. We identify obstacles — structures, power lines, neighboring trees, underground utilities — and plan a cut sequence that brings the tree down safely.

For most residential trees, this means climbing and sectioning the tree from the top down, lowering each piece with ropes rather than letting it fall free. This protects your lawn, driveway, and neighboring structures. Large or open-yard trees may be able to be felled in one or two sections — faster and cheaper when conditions allow.

After the tree is down, we cut the trunk into manageable sections and run all branches through the chipper. Logs can be left for you to use as firewood or hauled away at no extra charge. We rake and clean the entire work area before leaving.

Know the Signs

When Do You Need Tree Removal?

Not every problem tree needs to come down, but these situations almost always call for removal rather than trimming or treatment:

🔥

Dead or Dying Tree

A dead tree becomes a hazard fast — South Florida humidity accelerates decay, and wood becomes brittle long before the tree falls. A dead tree should come down before the next storm makes the decision for you.

🌪

Storm Damage

After a hurricane or tropical storm, split trunks, hanging limbs, and root-heaved trees need to be evaluated immediately. Damaged trees are unstable — delay is risky.

🏠

Too Close to Structure

When roots are lifting your foundation, driveway, or pool deck, or when branches hang within a few feet of your roof, removal is usually the right call. Trimming buys time; removal solves the problem.

⚡

Near Power Lines

Trees within 10 feet of power lines are a fire and outage risk. Contact us to assess risk — we coordinate with utility companies when needed.

Pricing Explained

What Affects the Cost?

Tree removal pricing in Miramar, FL varies more than most homeowners expect. Here's what drives the cost:

Tree height and trunk diameter — the primary cost driver. Larger trees take more time, more equipment, and more crew members.
Access to the tree — a tree in an open backyard is much easier to work than one hemmed in by a fence, shed, and pool cage.
Proximity to structures — trees near your home, fence, or neighbors' property require more precise, slower sectioning work to avoid damage.
Species and wood density — dense tropical hardwoods like Mahogany or Live Oak take longer to cut and chip than softer species.
Debris disposal — hauling logs and chips away is included in our standard price. Leaving logs on-site reduces the cost slightly.

Typical range: $350 for a small tree — $1,800+ for a large or complex removal.

Important Consideration

DIY Tree Removal vs. Professional Service

The appeal of DIY tree removal is understandable — rental chainsaws are cheap, and YouTube makes it look simple. But residential tree removal carries serious risks that professionals train for specifically. A 50-foot tree leaning toward your house doesn't give you a second attempt.

Beyond the physical danger, Florida law requires licensed and insured contractors for tree removal in most municipalities, including this area. If an unlicensed crew damages a neighbor's property or injures someone, the liability falls on the homeowner who hired them. Miramar Tree Service carries full general liability and workers' compensation insurance — if anything goes wrong on your property, you're protected.

The bottom line: for trees under 15 feet that pose no proximity risk, DIY may be reasonable. For anything larger or closer to structures, hire a licensed professional. Call (954) 740-6174 for a free on-site assessment.

Local Regulations

Do You Need a Permit for Tree Removal in Miramar, FL?

Yes — the City of Miramar requires a tree removal permit for most trees with a trunk diameter of 6 inches DBH (diameter at breast height, measured at 4.5 feet above grade) or larger. Exempt species and emergency situations may have different rules.

Miramar Tree Service handles the permit application as part of your service at no extra charge. We know the City of Miramar's tree ordinance, what documentation is required, and how to expedite permits so your job doesn't get delayed. Never remove a permitted tree without the proper approval — fines can exceed $2,000 per violation.
