Managing the tree landscape of Southwest Florida is a rewarding task for any SW Florida Homeowners Association (HOA), but it comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to adhering to local tree ordinances. At Coastline Tree Service, we understand the intricacies of these regulations and are here to help your HOA navigate them with ease.

In Collier and Lee Counties, tree ordinances are designed to preserve the natural beauty and ecological balance of our communities. Here are some key regulations your HOA needs to be aware of:

1. Tree Removal Permits:
In both Collier and Lee Counties, a permit is required for the removal of certain trees. This includes large or mature trees that significantly contribute to the local ecosystem. Our team can assist in determining whether a tree on your property requires a permit for removal and guide you through the application process.

2. Protected Species:
Certain tree species are protected due to their environmental importance. For example, native species like the South Florida Slash Pine and the Live Oak are often safeguarded. Removing or trimming these trees without proper authorization can result in hefty fines. We have the expertise to identify these protected species and ensure that any maintenance work complies with local laws.

3. Maintenance Requirements:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the health of your trees and the safety of your community. Ordinances often require that trees be pruned to prevent hazards, especially during storm season. We offer comprehensive maintenance plans tailored to meet these requirements, ensuring your trees remain healthy and your HOA stays compliant.

4. Tree Planting Requirements:
Local ordinances may dictate specific requirements for tree planting, including the type and number of trees that should be planted in new developments or after the removal of mature trees. We can help your HOA select the appropriate species and ensure compliance with these planting guidelines to enhance both the ecological and aesthetic value of your community.

5. Seasonal Trimming Restrictions:
To protect wildlife and promote tree health, there are often restrictions on trimming during certain seasons, particularly nesting periods for local birds or during peak growing seasons. Our team is well-versed in these seasonal restrictions and will schedule maintenance activities accordingly to avoid penalties and ensure the well-being of local flora and fauna.
