Mangrove Trimming

Mangrove Trimming

Mangroves are protected by state law and must be trimmed properly. We employ Certified Arborists that are government registered mangrove trimmers to ensure compliance with the law.

Mangroves play an important role in the marine ecosystem and are protected by law.

We all have a responsibility to maintain and care for these shoreland stabilizers. Yutzy Tree Service employs PMTs (Professional Mangrove Trimmers) and four Certified Arborists that are specially trained in the care of mangroves and mangrove pruning.

There are three major species of mangroves in Central and Southern Florida.

It is not uncommon to see black, red, and white mangroves in estuaries and along the shorelines in our area. Since each perform a special job in the ecosystem, the alteration and trimming of mangroves is governed by Sections 403.9321-403.9333, Florida Statutes, of the Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act. Yutzy strongly suggests that customers allow our company of experts to take care of mangroves to abide by those detailed laws. Our staff includes PMTs, registered with the county, giving them the expert ability of tending-to and trimming mangroves in any location within our registration county.

According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, “Mangrove trimming, and alteration may be done by property owners under certain exemptions, as specified in Section 403.9326, Florida Statutes.”

Rather than risk breaking the law, hire Yutzy to come to your property and assess the needs of these protected trees. Our expert arborists make quick work of trimming and managing mangroves. Due to the complicated nature of State statutes, some taller mangroves must be trimmed in stages, not a job that should be left for those who are not licensed or qualified.

Yutzy Tree Service has been an established business since 1973 and complies with state laws and industry standards that are necessary to prune mangroves properly.

Our insured professionals will oversee trimming from the start of the project to the finish, to ensure perfection. We also clean up any mess made by our work or crew.
