Local Tree Removal & Trimming Crews
in Atlantic Beach
Tree Services in Atlantic Beach, FL
Jacksonville Professional Tree Service works across Atlantic Beach, from the older streets near West First Street to the blocks beside Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. Estimates are free, and an ISA Certified Arborist inspects every job.
Atlantic Beach has its own tree permit and, since July 2026, tougher protection for landmark trees in the maritime forest. Salt spray, sandy soil and a high water table shape what grows here, and oaks and magnolias often need careful work rather than removal.
We are fully insured and take storm calls 24/7. If you are just outside the area, we also handle tree work in nearby Neptune Beach.

Atlantic Beach Tree Permits
Atlantic Beach is its own city, so Chapter 656 of the Jacksonville code does not govern your lot.
The City Permit
The city issues its own tree permit through Planning & Zoning. Plan for a wait, since permits typically issue 7 to 10 business days after the documents are complete. Confirm current requirements with the city before you schedule removal.
Landmark Trees
In July 2026 the commission passed tougher protections after a roughly 200-year-old live oak on West First Street was cut down. Maritime-forest trees 20 in. or more in diameter, including magnolia, live oak, pine, cedar and cypress, can be designated landmark trees. A mitigation fee alone no longer lets an owner remove one. We check a tree's status before any quote, and our permit guide covers the wider picture.
Salt, Sand and Hanna Park Hammock
Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park shows what the local coastal hammock looks like, and the streets nearby share it.
Palms, Pines and Crape Myrtles
Yards at the beach lean on palms and a few old pines.
Storm Season at the Beach
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and tidal flooding with saturated sand loosens roots.
Before and After
Dead limbs and weak forks are cheaper to fix in May than in a storm. Our storm damage clean up crews clear fallen trees day or night.
Atlantic Beach Tree FAQs
Questions from Atlantic Beach homeowners.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Atlantic Beach?
The city has its own tree permit through Planning & Zoning, so check with the city before cutting. Florida law limits what a local government can require when an ISA-certified arborist documents unacceptable risk on a single-family lot.
What is a landmark tree?
Under the July 2026 rules, a maritime-forest tree 20 in. or more in diameter can be designated a landmark tree. Ask the city about any large oak or magnolia first.
What does a typical removal cost?
Trees under 30 ft run $200 to $500, and 30 to 60 ft trees $500 to $1,500. Crane jobs add roughly $500 and up, and the written estimate decides.
Do you grind stumps?
Yes, at $100 to $400 per stump, with about $50 for each extra stump on the same visit.
