Miramar Tree Service specializes in large tree removal. A big mature live oak or a towering royal palm is a different job than a small tree in an open yard. The weight, the height, and the rigging all scale up, and getting a big tree down without damaging anything under it is real work that takes the right equipment and crew.
Big trees are usually the ones people worry about. A fifty foot oak leaning over a house, a royal palm towering over a pool cage, a ficus that has grown into the power lines. These are the trees that do the damage when they come down on their own, and they are the ones that need a careful, rigged removal to take down safely. A big tree is a big liability when it is in the wrong spot.
We use a bucket truck for big trees when the lot allows it, and we climb with ropes when it does not. Either way, we take the tree apart in pieces, starting at the top, lowering each cut on a rope so nothing free falls. A big limb or trunk section dropped from height would punch through a roof or smash a car, so we control every piece on the way down. That control is the whole job.
Access is what makes a big removal expensive. A big tree in an open field is one job. The same tree in a backyard with a narrow gate, over a screen enclosure, with the power line running through the canopy, is a much bigger job. We rig around all of it, and we will tell you exactly what is driving the cost when we give you the estimate. Tight access on a big tree is where the real money is.
We handle the full removal, not just dropping the tree. That means the canopy, the trunk, the stump ground below grade if you want it gone, and every stick of wood and brush hauled off. Big trees generate a lot of material, and we haul it all. When we leave, the spot is clean and level. A big oak can fill two or three trucks with wood and brush, and that hauling is all included.
The crew size scales with the tree. A big removal is not a two person job. We run a crew that can handle the rigging, the ground work, and the hauling at the same time, because on a big tree you do not want the climber waiting on the ground crew to clear the last piece. Everyone has a role, and the job moves. That is how a big tree comes down in a day instead of dragging on.
We also plan the drop. A big tree comes down in a specific order, with the limbs coming off in the sequence that keeps the climber safe and the structure protected. We figure out the drop plan before we start cutting, and everyone on the crew knows where each piece is going. That planning is the difference between a big removal that goes smooth and one that turns into a mess. We do the planning every time, on every big tree.
