Trees & Landscaping

Trees are defined as any woody self-supporting plant characterized by having a single trunk or multistem trunk system with well-developed crown, capable of reaching ten feet high as measured from its base.

The removal of any tree requires a tree removal permit.

Whenever possible look for ways to reduce high water need plants and sod and replace with drought tolerant, Florida Friendly plants.
