Renovations in Riviera, Gables Estates, and Cocoplum often save a specimen oak or banyan by relocating it on the lot, and on Rock Ridge limestone the root pruning ahead of the move matters more than anywhere else.
Coral Gables is known for one of the heaviest tree canopies in South Florida, with banyans, live oaks, and royal poincianas over streets like Granada and Coral Way and large estate trees in Gables Estates and Cocoplum.
When a Gables renovation puts a pool or a new wing where a mature tree stands, moving the tree can keep the lot's shade and character. Our ISA Certified Arborist plans the root pruning, the timing, and the new spot, and the move follows ANSI A300. On rock ridge ground the root ball has to be cut and shaped with care, and the new hole often has to be dug out of limestone. We follow the approved landscape or tree plan and leave watering guidance after the move.
Before any regulated tree work we coordinate with the City of Coral Gables and, where it applies, Miami Dade County. An ISA Certified Arborist on our team reviews the trees with you. Call (305) 615-9169 or send your plan or photos with the form below.
The Gables sits on the limestone of the Miami Rock Ridge, so roots run wide and shallow through cracks in the rock. The city protects its trees closely, so permits and the right paperwork come before anything is cut or moved.
