Local Tree Removal & Trimming Crews
in Fleming Island
Tree Services in Fleming Island, FL
Jacksonville Professional Tree Service works across Fleming Island, from the lakeside lots on Doctors Lake to the subdivisions off US-17 and CR 220. Estimates are free, and an ISA Certified Arborist inspects every job before we quote it.
The island sits in Clay County between Doctors Lake and the St. Johns River. Sandy soil and a high water table keep roots shallow, so laurel oaks, water oaks and tall pines go over in wind. Many yards also hold sabal palms, magnolias and crape myrtles that need the right cut.
We are fully insured and answer storm calls 24/7. If you are just outside the area, we also handle tree work in nearby Atlantic Beach.

Clay County Rules for Fleming Island Yards
Fleming Island is unincorporated Clay County, so the county, not the City of Jacksonville, is the office to ask.
Trees on Your Own Lot
We have not confirmed a county tree ordinance for single-family lots, so confirm with Clay County before a large removal or any clearing. Florida law also limits what a local government can require when an owner has a signed risk assessment from an ISA-certified arborist, and our tree removal permit page explains how that works.
Doctors Lake, the St. Johns and Soft Ground
Water sits close to the surface across much of the island, and sandy soil with a high water table keeps roots shallow.
Pines, Palms and Crape Myrtles Along US-17
Subdivisions off US-17 and CR 220 mix old pines with landscape palms and magnolias.
Palms and Magnolias
Sabal palms are tough, but over-pruning thins the trunk. Our tree trimming and pruning crews cut only dead fronds and lift magnolia crowns off roofs.
Storm Season on the Island
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and Irma in 2017 showed how the river and Black Creek can flood root zones.
After the Wind
Our storm damage clean up crews clear fallen trees, and we prepare insurance documentation with photos for your adjuster. Pruning dead wood before June costs far less than a night call.
Fleming Island Tree FAQs
Questions from Fleming Island homeowners.
Who handles a tree in the road right-of-way?
Ask Clay County first. We can look at the tree with you and tell you what to report, but we do not cut a public tree without approval.
What does a typical removal cost on Fleming Island?
Trees under 30 ft usually run $200 to $500, and 30 to 60 ft trees $500 to $1,500. Crane or hard-access jobs add roughly $500 and up, and the written estimate decides.
Do you grind stumps?
Yes. Stump grinding runs $100 to $400 per stump, with about $50 for each extra stump on the same visit.
Can you come out after a storm?
Yes. We take emergency calls 24/7. After-hours work carries a premium of roughly 1.5x to 2x.
