Trusted Tree Removal & Trimming Crew
in Jacksonville
Tree Removal in Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville Professional Tree Service handles tree removal in Jacksonville, from a failing laurel oak in Ortega to a storm-leaned pine in Mandarin. An ISA Certified Arborist inspects every tree, and some only need tree trimming.
Sandy soil keeps roots shallow, so tall trees go over when the ground is soaked. Our storm damage clean up crew handles what already fell, and the permit rules differ by city and county.
We serve Riverside, San Marco, Arlington and Southside across Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties. Free estimates; typical prices are on our tree removal cost page.

Tree Removal Options We Handle
Dead & Declining Laurel & Water Oaks
Laurel oaks hollow with age and water oaks are often hollow by 40, so a sound-looking trunk can drop limbs in a thunderstorm.
We check for fungus, a bare crown and a hollow tap, then take the tree down in sections.
Leaning Trees After Saturated Ground
A new tilt after days of rain, with heaved sand, means the root plate is giving way.
Our arborist rates the risk and tells you whether to brace or remove.
Crane Access on Waterfront Lots
Lots on the St. Johns and the Intracoastal have docks and narrow drives. A crane lifts sections straight out.
Hard-access work adds roughly $500 and up; large crane jobs run $2,500 to $5,000.
Storm-Broken Pines
Slash and loblolly pines snap in wind and take lightning hits. Pitch tubes signal Ips beetles, and an infested pine cannot be saved.
Some decline months after a storm.
Large Live Oaks
Live oaks resist wind well, so we remove one only when it is dead, decayed or threatening a structure.
First we discuss cabling, crown reduction or deadwood work.
Palm Removal
Sabal and queen palms with lethal bronzing or Ganoderma butt rot should come down promptly.
Palm removal typically runs $650 to $1,500, and we grind the stump.
How a Removal Job Runs
Five steps, and the rules check varies most.
1. Free Estimate Visit
We note species, size and access, then give you a written price.
2. Rules & Permit Check
The City of Jacksonville, the Beaches and each county differ. For single-family homes, Florida Statute 163.045 can allow removal without a local permit when an arborist documents unacceptable risk.
3. JEA Power Line Check
We treat every JEA line as live and call JEA before working near one.
4. Piece-by-Piece Takedown
Climbers or a crane lower sections from the top down.
5. Haul-Off & Stump Choices
Wood is hauled off. Our stump grinding crew can follow the same day.
Tree Removal Questions in Jacksonville
What does tree removal cost in Jacksonville?
Typical ranges: under 30 ft $200 to $500, 30 to 60 ft $500 to $1,500, 60 to 80 ft $850 to $2,000, over 80 ft $1,200 to $2,500+. Your written estimate decides.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Jacksonville?
Often. The City permits removal through Building Inspection, and right-of-way trees go through 630-CITY. We point you to the right office.
Are tree rules different at the Beaches and in St. Johns County?
Yes. Jacksonville Beach requires a permit for trees 6 inches or more across, and St. Augustine for trees 3 inches or larger. Confirm with the city.
Is it worth removing a laurel oak?
Often, once it is hollow or leaning near a roof. A sound one may only need tree trimming.
Who pays if my tree falls on a neighbor's property?
Often it depends on whether the tree was healthy or dead. See who pays when a tree falls.
Are your estimates free?
Yes, with a written price and no deposit on residential jobs.
