In the village where I have another home called Cutler Bay they have pruning ordinances enacted(Miami Dade County ).All the homes that have a swale of 5ft past the sidewalks have to maintain owner sown and or county planted trees.Most are Live/Red Oaks,a smattering of Palms,Poincianas,Mahoghanys,Jacurandas etc.The rule of thumb is no more than 2/3 thirds and no "top hatting"at all.They will fine you if you violate,they have County employed Arborists that also do building inspections(landscape,tree planting etc.)
