Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide tree service in Mandarin?
Yes. Mandarin (ZIP 32223, 32257, 32258) is inside our standard service area and we run crews there routinely. There is no travel charge and no minimum job size. Call (904) 401-8304 to get on the schedule.
What kinds of trees do you deal with most in Mandarin?
Enormous heritage live oaks along Mandarin Road and the river, plus dense slash and loblolly pine, water oak, sweetgum, magnolia and cypress in the wetter pockets. Pine bark beetle and lightning strikes take out mature pines here every summer.
Is access a problem for your equipment in Mandarin?
Generally the easiest access in the city — long driveways, side yards, room for a bucket truck and a chipper. The exception is the river side of Mandarin Road, where the lots run long and narrow to the water and everything has to be carried out.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Mandarin?
City of Jacksonville tree protection ordinance. Mandarin has a number of documented heritage live oaks with additional protection, and several subdivisions add their own review. We check both.
How fast can you get to a storm-damaged tree in Mandarin?
We run 24/7 emergency response across Duval County. For an active hazard in Mandarin — a tree on the house, a limb on the power drop, a trunk blocking the driveway — call (904) 401-8304 and we will get a crew moving. Storm-damage work is documented for your insurance carrier as we go.
How much does tree removal cost in Mandarin?
There is no flat rate. Price is driven by height, trunk diameter, how close the tree sits to the house, pool, fence or power lines, and how far the crew has to carry material to the truck. We come out, look at the tree, and hand you a written price. The written number is the number you pay.
Are your estimates free?
Yes. Free, written and no obligation. Call (904) 401-8304 or book online at 904tree.com/book.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — fully insured with general liability and workers compensation, with a certified arborist on staff. We will provide current certificates before work starts.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — and in many cases we can give you an estimate right over the phone. Just send us the property address or zip code along with a few close-up and far-away photos so we can see:
- Tree height — include the sky so we can gauge scale
- Tree size — how wide is the base of the trunk
- Tree location — front yard, side yard, or backyard
- Access — is there a gate, fence, vehicles, or anything else in the way
With that information we can often price it remotely. If not, we'll come out to see it in person.
Do you have a service minimum?
Yes. Our tree trimming starts at $675 and tree removal starts at $850. If these price points are not in your budget, we are not the company for you.
