Service · Arbor Care
Care for the trees that shape your property.
ISA-certified arborists, ANSI A-300 standards, drone-assisted assessments, and 24/7 emergency response. We treat every canopy on your property as a long-term asset — not a line item.
Overview
Tree work, done right.
Trees are the slowest-changing element on any property — and the most expensive to replace. Every cut is permanent, every assessment matters. Our team takes the long view.
Every tree on your property is assessed by a credentialed arborist, not a sales rep. We document health, structure, and risk; recommend pruning cycles based on species and location; and respond after storms with the equipment and experience to make your property safe again.
Whether you're managing a single mature live oak in a Coral Gables courtyard or thousands of trees across a multi-property HOA, the standards don't change.

Specialties
When the storm comes through.
Hurricane season is a fact of life in South Florida. What separates properties that recover in days from properties that struggle for months is who they call — and whether that crew already knows the site.

Storm Recovery
When a hurricane or severe storm moves through, recovery starts with triage: reopening access, stabilizing hazardous trees, and documenting damage while it's still fresh for insurance. Our crews run 24/7 storm response across the tri-county with bucket trucks, cranes, chippers, and loaders — dispatched down a priority list that puts contracted properties first. After the emergency work comes the rebuild: debris haul-out, restoration pruning to correct storm damage without butchering the canopy, and replanting recommendations so the property comes back stronger than it went in.
Process
How we approach every property.
A consistent four-step process whether you're a new client requesting your first assessment or a long-running HOA with hundreds of trees on a maintenance schedule.
Site assessment
An ISA-certified arborist walks the property, identifies every tree by species, and rates health and structural risk.
Written report
You receive a documented inventory with species, condition, recommended work, and a prioritized action plan.
Scheduled work
Our in-house crew handles the work using bucket trucks, cranes, chippers, and rigging — never subcontracted.
Ongoing care
For maintained properties, we return on a schedule matched to your tree population — typically annual or biannual.
Credentials
Credentialed arborists. Real names, real signatures.
Every tree report on your property is signed by a credentialed arborist on our team. We don't outsource diagnosis or assessment, and we don't use sales reps to walk properties. The person assessing your tree is the person responsible for the recommendation.

Frequently Asked
Arbor care questions.
Quick answers to what property owners and managers ask most. For everything else, our FAQ page covers more.
Do you do free assessments?
For commercial properties and HOAs, yes — initial property walks and rough assessments are no-cost. For detailed written reports (with documented species inventory, structural ratings, and prioritized recommendations), we charge a flat fee that's typically credited toward the first project if you move forward with us.
Single-tree assessments for residential clients are typically billed at a small flat rate.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
Same-day response within Broward County, next-day for Miami-Dade and Palm Beach in normal conditions. After named storms, our emergency line goes 24/7 and we work down a triage list — properties on annual maintenance contracts get priority.
What's the difference between an arborist and a tree trimmer?
Anyone with a chainsaw can trim trees. ISA-certified arborists have passed a rigorous credentialing exam and commit to ongoing education and ethical standards. The distinction matters because pruning a tree wrong — particularly heavy topping or improper cuts — causes long-term structural problems that may not show up for years.
Every report on your property is signed by a credentialed arborist on our team.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. Tree work in South Florida often requires municipal permits — particularly for removals, work on protected species (live oak, gumbo limbo, mahogany), and any work in protected areas. We handle the permitting process as part of the engagement.
What's your insurance coverage?
$2M general liability, $1M auto, full workers' compensation. Certificates of insurance are sent automatically when you onboard, and we can add your property as additional insured on request.
Can you work with our existing landscape company?
Yes — many clients have us handle tree care exclusively while keeping their existing maintenance company for everything else. We coordinate scheduling so we're not getting in each other's way, and we share assessment reports with maintenance teams when relevant.
