Location Assessment

The Department of Resilience and Public Works (RPW) will assign an Urban Forester to assess the requested location. The type of tree selected will vary depending on overhead/underground utilities and swale size.

New Tree Aftercare

City contractors will ensure the adequate watering of newly planted trees during the initial establishment period. The contractors are also responsible for the maintenance of the trees during the warranty period. Following the warranty period, the responsibility for the tree's care will be transferred to the homeowner. Homeowners may contact 311 to request necessary trimming services for the tree, which will be performed by the City of Miami. Additionally, upon request, RPW will dispatch an inspector to evaluate the health of a tree should any concerns arise.
