Tree Removal
Complete tree removal, planned around your property
Our skills and tools let us assess your tree and build a plan that considers its size, its location and everything around it: the house, the fence, the pool, the power lines. We follow industry best practice and execute with precision and care while keeping damage to your yard to a minimum.
The CMC 72HD+ Arbor Pro, a tracked lift with a 70 ft reach, drives through a 3 ft gate on rubber tracks, so the crew works from a stable platform instead of climbing, and your lawn is not torn up by truck tires. Logs leave on the Ditch Witch mini skid steer and everything is loaded onto the Kenworth grapple truck and hauled off the same day.

“Great service! Job was assessed, quoted, and completed in 2 days. Reasonable pricing and they managed to remove a massive magnolia tree in 2 hours start to finish.”
“My father had a huge oak tree limb crash on the side of his house. The crew arrived an hour and a half after the estimator showed up. The crew was very professional, very polite, they did the job of removing this huge oak very quickly. The price was also very good.”
“I had Forshee Tree Service remove some debris from my back yard which also some stump grinding. Quoted a great price (no changes). Did a great job! Very professional and very quick. I recommend to anyone looking for the best in town.”
“What an amazing job this team did today on the removal of 5 large pecan trees. All but one tree surrounded my house and septic and the expertise and skill more than shows. Communication of the process, pricing and overall quality of work is outstanding.”
“Couldn't be happier with the service that Forshee supplied us today. Very professional and courteous. Trimmed all of our trees, our aging viburnum hedge, removed a decaying water oak and cleaned the yard leaving it as if they'd never been here. The crew was outstanding!”
“Quick response to inquiry. Great communication during and after appointment set up. AMAZING JOB! My entire property line cleaned out, massive logs from previous owners, and trimmed and assessed safety of all my tree branches. They also work efficiently and completed our entire property in a day.”
Questions
Tree Removal FAQ
How much does tree removal cost in Jacksonville?
Every job is a minimum of $950, and most removals run over $1,500. The exact price depends on the size of the tree and the access for our equipment, so we meet you in person for a free estimate and give one price for the whole job, stump and cleanup included if you want them.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Jacksonville?
Some trees in Duval County and the beach cities need a permit before removal, depending on the species, size and location. We will tell you at the estimate whether yours does and what the next step is.
Will the equipment damage my lawn?
The lift, the mini skid steer and the stump grinder all run on rubber tracks, which is why we chose them. They spread the weight and do not rut a yard the way truck tires do.
Can you remove a tree close to my house?
Yes. Trees near a house, pool or fence are taken down in sections from the lift and lowered on ropes where needed. That is the everyday work for this crew.
What happens to the wood and the brush?
Logs and brush go to the curb on the skid steer, the grapple truck loads them and hauls everything away the same day. If you want firewood left behind, say so at the estimate.
Do you handle the stump too?
Yes. We grind our own stumps with a Bandit SG-75, so the removal and the stump grinding can be done in one visit.
Also from the same crew: tree trimming, emergency tree removal, stump grinding, across Duval County, Clay County, Nassau County, St. Johns County, Camden County. Not sure which you need?
