Star Island rebuilds often move mature coconut and royal palms around the new footprint, and on sandy fill we wrap the root ball tight and water heavily after the move.
Star Island is a gated island off the MacArthur Causeway in the City of Miami Beach, one loop road of bay front estates behind a guardhouse, with views of the Miami skyline.
Owners and landscape architects on Star Island often want to keep a mature specimen tree but put it where it frames the new house, the view, or the pool. Our ISA Certified Arborist plans each move to ANSI A300, from root pruning lead time to how the tree is lifted and set. Because there is no space off the property, holding areas and machine paths are planned inside the lot, away from finished surfaces. After setting, trees get bracing as needed and a watering plan built for bay wind and salt.
Before any regulated tree work we coordinate with the City of Miami Beach 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.
Lots are big but access is one narrow loop road, so trucks are staged with the guardhouse, the soil is sandy fill with water close to the surface, and seawalls and docks sit right behind the trees.
