Hazardous Tree Removal in Jacksonville, FL.
When a tree becomes a threat to your Jacksonville home, your power line, or your family, it's not a project for the weekend warrior with a chainsaw. Hazardous tree removal in Northeast Florida means dealing with massive live oaks weakened by years of moisture, brittle pines snapped at the top by a tropical storm, and dead trees infested with pine bark beetle — often within feet of a roof, fence, or power line.
Brother's Tree & Land Clearing handles hazardous tree removal across Jacksonville, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach and the surrounding NE Florida communities. Whether your problem tree showed up after a hurricane, has been leaning more every year, or just went dead at the top and started dropping limbs — we have the equipment and experience to take it down safely.
Every removal starts with a free, on-site evaluation: we walk the tree with you, look at the lean, check the surroundings, and put together a plan and a written price. From a single dead pine in a back yard to a multi-tree storm cleanup at a Ponte Vedra waterfront home, we plan the cut, drop it safely, and haul off every piece.
We're fully licensed and insured in the State of Florida — general liability and workers' compensation coverage on every job — and we coordinate with your homeowner's insurance for documented storm damage when needed.
Built for the Tough Drops.
Hazardous removals demand experience. A tree that's leaning over a house, tangled in power lines, or hollow at the base isn't coming down with a chainsaw and a hope.
Our crews are trained in rigging, sectional removals, and crane-assisted drops when needed. We work alongside utility companies, navigate tight access, and protect what's underneath every step of the way.

How We Get It Done.
Free On-Site Assessment
We come to your property — Jacksonville Beach, Orange Park, anywhere in NE Florida — walk the tree with you, look at lean, root condition, surrounding structures, and access. You get a written quote, usually the same day or within 24 hours. No pressure, no commitment.
Plan the Drop or Sectional Removal
For trees with clear drop zones, we fell them in one piece. For trees near houses, power lines, or fences, we work top-down: rigging branches and trunk sections, lowering each piece controlled. Crane-assisted drops are available for the toughest jobs.
Safe Removal
Our crews work under ANSI Z133 safety standards. We tarp roof areas, protect landscaping, coordinate with utilities for line clearance, and run a tight, organized job site every step.
Full Cleanup & Haul-Off
Every piece comes down, every branch gets cut to size, every chunk gets hauled to our truck. Your yard is left raked, your driveway is left clean. The only thing left behind is the stump — and we can grind that too in the same visit.
Stump Grinding (Optional)
Most customers grind the stump while we're already on site — it saves a return visit and we bundle the pricing. Learn about stump grinding →

Every Job Comes With.
What Affects Your Price.
No two jobs are exactly alike — here are the main things that move the number up or down on a written quote.
Tree Size & Species
A 20-foot pine is very different from a 60-foot live oak. Diameter at breast height (DBH) and total height drive most of the cost.
Access & Drop Zone
A tree with open drop space is fastest. Tight back-yard trees with fence-line removal cost more because of the rigging time.
Proximity to Structures
Trees touching or leaning over houses, garages, fences, or pools require sectional removal — more time, more rigging, more rope work.
Power Line Involvement
Branches in primary power lines require utility coordination before we cut. Secondary lines (to the house) we can usually work around with insulated tools.
Debris Volume
More tree = more haul-off. Big oak removals can fill two grapple trucks; a small pine is a single trailer load.
Stump Grinding Add-On
Roughly 30–40% cheaper when bundled with the removal because we're already mobilized to your property.
