Tree Removal in Jacksonville, FL

Sometimes a tree has to come down. It might be dead or dying, leaning toward your house, damaged in a storm, or simply in the way of a new pool or addition. Taking down a tree is one of the most dangerous jobs in residential property work, and it’s not a DIY project. First Coast Tree has the crew, the equipment, and the experience to take down trees of any size safely, with no damage to your home or yard.

When a Tree Needs to Come Down

• The tree is dead, or more than half of it is dead or dying
• It has a significant lean toward a home, driveway, or structure
• The trunk is split, cracked, or hollow
• There are signs of root failure, such as heaving soil or exposed, broken roots
• It was damaged beyond saving in a storm
• It’s too close to your foundation, septic system, or power lines
• It’s in the way of construction, remodeling, or new landscaping

Not sure if your tree can be saved? We’ll give you an honest answer. If trimming or cabling can keep the tree standing safely, we’ll tell you.

Our Removal Process

1. On-site assessment. We look at the tree’s height, lean, condition, and everything around it to plan a safe removal.
2. Protecting your property. We set up the work zone and protect your structures, landscaping, and lawn.
3. Controlled takedown. Trees near homes are taken down in sections with ropes and rigging. Open-area trees can be felled whole when it’s safe.
4. Full cleanup. We chip the branches, haul the wood (or cut it into firewood lengths if you’d like to keep it), and rake the area clean.

Stump Grinding

Removing a tree leaves a stump behind. We can grind it below ground level, backfill the hole, and leave the area ready for grass, landscaping, or a new tree. Ask to add stump grinding to your removal estimate.
