Why tree removal in Delray Beach is different
Delray Beach has stricter tree removal rules than most cities in Palm Beach County. The City requires a Tree Removal permit for any tree 4 inches or greater in diameter at breast height. That applies to single-family homeowners too. Historic district properties in Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and the Marina District must also submit a professional tree survey.
We know the Delray Beach Land Development Regulations. We handle the permit application, the tree survey for historic district properties, and the full process on your behalf. You don’t have to navigate the City on your own.

Our tree removal process
Recent job in Delray Beach
Historic district removal, Del-Ida Park
A homeowner in Del-Ida Park needed a large live oak removed. The tree had a significant lean toward the house and crown dieback across the top third of the canopy. Del-Ida Park is a Delray Beach historic district, requiring a professional tree survey as part of the permit application. Our ISA-trained arborist prepared the survey and submitted the application. Once approved, we removed the tree in the tight historic lot using controlled sectioning, protected the adjacent historic structure throughout, and left the property clean.
