Rigging & Crane Reach
Tight lots and overhead lines are everyday work. We lower pieces by rope, bucket truck or crane.
Storm Calls Answered Day or Night
When a limb lands on your roof, call any hour. We make the scene safe first.
Tree Care and Removal Services
We take down trees that are dead, hollow, leaning, crowding a foundation or standing where you plan to build. In Jacksonville that often means a laurel oak hollowed by decay, a pine split by lightning or a live oak shifted by saturated ground.
Trees near a roof, fence or power line come down in sections on ropes, with a bucket truck or crane on tight lots. Price depends on height, trunk size, lean and access.
If a tree sits in the city right-of-way or on a lot with tree rules, we tell you before any cutting starts.
Trimming before June 1 is the cheapest storm insurance a Jacksonville homeowner can buy.
We prune to ANSI A300 standards, cutting just outside the branch collar so the wound can seal. We never top trees.
Common goals are lifting limbs off the roof, thinning dense oak canopies so wind passes through, and keeping branches clear of service lines.
Oaks and most hardwoods prune best in late winter, and palms only need their dead fronds removed.
A leftover stump invites rot and pests, trips mowers and keeps sending up sprouts.
We grind 6 to 12 inches below grade for sod, and deeper if you plan to replant or pour concrete.
- Utilities marked through Sunshine 811
- Irrigation lines flagged
- Compact grinders for narrow gates
Sandy soil is easy on the teeth, so most stumps finish fast. We haul the grindings away or leave them as fill.
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and Helene alone brought 161 downed-tree reports to the City in 2024.
We cut and haul fallen trunks, clear the yard and chip brush on site. Until we arrive:
- Stay well away from the tree and anything it touches
- Treat every downed wire as live and call JEA at (904) 665-6000
- Photograph the damage for your insurer
Single Limb Removal
A healthy tree sometimes has just one limb causing trouble over a roof or fence. Heavy limbs come off in stages with a final cut outside the branch collar, tied off and lowered by rope.
Saturated sand and gusty storms do not wait for business hours, and after-hours calls get answered here.
Trees on roofs, cars and driveways are routine calls after a Jacksonville storm. We show up with saws, rigging and a chipper and usually make the scene safe in one trip. Night and weekend work can cost more, and you hear the price before we start.
Power-Line Safety & Trimming Near JEA Lines
Treat every power line as energized. Only trained line-clearance trimmers may work within 10 feet of a line, and we never cut limbs touching a wire.
JEA says it only takes care of trees in line with its powerlines. If limbs touch the wires, call JEA at (904) 665-6000. Our ISA arborist can prune the rest of the tree back before storm season.
Cabling and bracing support a tree with a weak spot that is still worth saving. A mature live oak with a long, heavy limb or twin trunks is the usual candidate. Steel cable goes about two-thirds up the canopy, and hardware gets a follow-up check date.
Dead Limb Removal
Laurel and water oaks often hollow with age, so dead wood drops onto patios and cars without warning. Only dead wood comes out, so deadwooding can be done in any month.
Crown Reduction for Overgrown Trees
Crown reduction shortens a tree's height or spread and keeps its natural outline, which topping never does. A live oak leaning on an Ortega roof is a typical job. In one season we take off no more than about a quarter of the live crown.
Wood Hauling & Firewood
Everything we cut leaves with us unless you want to keep some. We cut and stack wood to your length on request, and haul storm piles another crew left behind.
Palm Tree Trimming & Removal
Sabal and queen palms need trimming that follows UF/IFAS advice: never cut live green fronds, and skip the hurricane cut. Signs a palm should come down:
- Bronzing fronds from the oldest up, the sign of lethal bronzing
- Collapsed spear leaf
- A shelf-like conk low on the trunk, a sign of Ganoderma butt rot
Palm removal typically runs $650 to $1,500.
Tree Maintenance
Seasonal Pruning Calendar
Late winter suits structural pruning of oaks. Late spring is for pre-hurricane-season thinning. Summer and fall are for storm response. Dead limbs can come out any month.
We follow the ISA Tree Risk Assessment method and rate each tree low to extreme. Florida Statute 163.045 lets single-family owners remove a tree with arborist-signed documentation of unacceptable risk.
Root Care & Soil Treatment
Sandy Duval soil drains fast and holds few nutrients. We loosen compacted soil with an air spade, uncover buried root flares, find girdling roots and reset mulch to two to four inches.
Every checkup starts at the soil line: root flare, trunk cavities and cracks, then the canopy. We watch oaks for hollow trunks and pines for Ips beetle signs. Mature trees merit a yearly visit before June 1.
Soil Testing & Mulching
Near the Beaches, salt spray also matters. Mulch two to four inches deep, pulled back from the trunk, never piled against the bark.
Disease & Pest Control
We confirm the problem before treating. Common ones here are Ips beetles in stressed pines, magnolia scale, lethal bronzing in palms and decay fungi at the base of oaks.

What a Jacksonville Tree Service Job Looks Like
Every estimate starts with a free visit. We check species, lean, decay and dead limbs, then the fall zone: fences, sheds, wires and neighboring roofs. You get a written estimate, and we point you to the right city office when a permit may apply.
We bring what the site needs: a bucket truck, a crane for big removals over roofs, or climbers where trucks cannot reach. Ground mats protect lawns, and we stay clear of wires.
Cleanup happens as we go, with raking and blowing off driveways at the end. Ground stumps sit 6 to 12 inches below grade.
Most home jobs finish in a day. Trimming one to three trees takes two to four hours, a removal four to eight. Lightning or high wind will pause work.
