Not every tree problem requires removal. If the issue is overgrown branches or routine maintenance, our tree trimming services may be the better option. However, tree removal becomes the safest course of action when:
If you are unsure whether a tree should be removed or can be saved, call us at (954) 737-5573. Our arborists will inspect the tree and give you an honest recommendation—we never suggest removal when it is not necessary.
Removing trees from residential properties requires careful planning to protect your home, landscaping, fences, and neighbors’ property. Our crew uses controlled sectional dismantling and rigging techniques to lower branches and trunk sections safely—we never drop large limbs in free fall near structures.
Office parks, shopping centers, HOAs, and multi-family complexes throughout South Florida rely on Big Dawg’s for efficient tree removal with minimal disruption to tenants, customers, and daily operations. We coordinate scheduling, traffic flow, and debris hauling to keep your property running.
Fallen trees and hanging limbs after a hurricane, tropical storm, or severe thunderstorm demand immediate response. Big Dawg’s emergency tree removal crew is ready to respond quickly across Miami-Dade and Broward—clearing driveways, removing trees from roofs, and securing unstable trunks before they cause further damage.
Trees leaning toward power lines, structures, or public walkways require specialized techniques and equipment. Our arborists assess the risk, plan a safe removal strategy, and execute with precision—even in tight spaces with limited access.
Dead or dying palm trees are common across South Florida due to lethal bronzing disease, nutrient deficiencies, and hurricane damage. We remove palms of every species and height—including Royal Palms, Coconut Palms, and Date Palms—safely and completely, including the root ball.
Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call (954) 737-5573 or submit our estimate form. An arborist will visit your property, inspect the tree, evaluate the surroundings, and provide an upfront, written price—no hidden fees, no pressure.
Step 2: Permit Coordination (When Required). Miami-Dade County requires a tree removal permit for most trees with a trunk diameter of 3 inches or more at 4.5 feet above ground. Broward County has similar requirements. If your tree needs a permit, we handle the paperwork, application, and any required mitigation planning so you stay compliant.
Step 3: Safe, Controlled Removal. Our crew arrives on schedule with the right equipment for the job—bucket trucks, aerial lifts, chainsaws, rigging gear, and chippers. We dismantle the tree in controlled sections, lowering each piece safely to the ground. Every cut is planned to protect your property.
Step 4: Full Debris Cleanup & Hauling. Every branch, trunk section, and leaf is cleared from your property. We haul away all debris and leave your yard cleaner than we found it.
Step 5: Stump Options. After the tree is removed, the stump remains. We offer stump grinding (grinding the stump below grade) and full stump removal (extracting the stump and root ball). Both services can be completed the same day or scheduled separately.
In most cases, yes. Miami-Dade County Code Section 24-49 requires a permit for the removal or relocation of any tree with a trunk diameter of 3 inches or more at breast height (4.5 feet above ground). Broward County municipalities have similar ordinances.
Key points property owners should know:
Big Dawg’s handles permit coordination for you. We know the regulations for every municipality we serve across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. We prepare the application, submit the required documentation, and make sure you stay compliant from start to finish.
Catching these warning signs early can prevent property damage, personal injury, and more expensive emergency removal later:
Warning Sign | What It Means |
Deep cracks in the trunk | Structural failure is likely, especially under wind load. High fall risk. |
Hollow or decaying trunk | Internal rot has compromised the tree’s ability to support its own weight. |
Mushrooms or fungus at the base | Root rot or internal decay. The tree’s support system is weakened. |
Leaning more than 15 degrees | Root failure or soil erosion. Risk of toppling increases significantly. |
Raised soil at the base | Roots are lifting out of the ground. The tree may be uprooting. |
Dead branches falling regularly | The tree is dying from the top down. Full canopy failure may follow. |
Bark peeling off in large sections | Disease, pest infestation, or structural death of the cambium layer. |
Multiple trunks splitting apart | Weak attachment points (co-dominant stems) can split without warning. |
If you notice any of these signs, call Big Dawg’s at (954) 737-5573 for a free safety assessment.
