Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide tree service in Riverside?
Yes. Riverside (ZIP 32204, 32205) 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 Riverside?
Mature southern live oak, water oak, laurel oak, camphor and a scattering of old crape myrtle and magnolia. Water oaks are the problem tree in this district: they hit 60 to 80 years, hollow out at the base, and shed heavy limbs onto slate and metal roofs with no warning.
Is access a problem for your equipment in Riverside?
Narrow one-way streets, on-street parking on both sides, alleys behind many blocks, overhead utility runs mid-block, and historic brick paving that we will not track equipment across. We size the crew and the machine to the street, and we work off the alley whenever the alley exists.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Riverside?
Riverside sits inside the City of Jacksonville tree protection ordinance, and much of it also falls under the Riverside Avondale historic district overlay. That means a protected-tree removal can need both a city permit and a certificate of appropriateness. We check the parcel before we quote and tell you which approvals apply.
How fast can you get to a storm-damaged tree in Riverside?
We run 24/7 emergency response across Duval County. For an active hazard in Riverside — 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 Riverside?
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.
