ISA-Certified Arborists | 60+ Years Experience | Licensed & Insured | 24/7 Emergency Response
We safely remove trees that are dead, hazardous, storm-damaged, or interfering with nearby structures. Our tree removal services are available throughout Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Johns, and surrounding communities.
Regular trimming isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s essential for the long-term health and safety of your trees. Our certified arborists carefully remove deadwood, reduce overgrowth, and shape trees to promote strong structure and better airflow, reducing the risk of storm damage and disease.
When a storm hits or a tree suddenly falls, fast action matters. Our emergency tree service is available 24/7 to secure your property, remove fallen limbs, and clear dangerous debris. We prioritize safety, speed, and professionalism in every urgent call we respond to across Duval and Nassau counties.
Trees can’t tell you when something’s wrong, but we can. Our arborists diagnose signs of disease, insect damage, and soil deficiencies early. We create tailored treatment plans to strengthen your trees’ natural defenses, restore health, and protect your landscape investment.
Some trees need a little extra support. We install flexible tree cabling systems and bracing rods to stabilize limbs, reduce stress on weak joints, and extend the life of valuable trees. This is especially useful for trees with split trunks or heavy branches growing at awkward angles.
Old stumps aren’t just an eyesore, they can attract pests, harbor disease, and get in the way of new landscaping. Our stump grinding service removes stumps below ground level, restoring the appearance and safety of your outdoor space. Services available across Duval and Nassau counties.
Wherever you’re located in Jacksonville or Northeast Florida, you can count on Bushor’s Tree Surgeons for safe, professional tree care tailored to your property.

Bushor’s Tree Surgeons was founded in 1962 by Eugene L. Bushor, who believed Jacksonville deserved skilled, professional tree care. What started as one man’s commitment to doing the job right has grown into a family business that’s served the area for more than 60 years.
That legacy continued with his son Brian and grandson Brad, both of whom became certified arborists and carried the same standards forward. Today, that experience shows in every part of the work. From complex tree removals that demand careful planning, to proper trimming and pruning that protects long-term tree health, to honest risk and health assessments by certified arborists, Bushor’s brings together generations of hands-on knowledge with modern equipment and proven methods.
It’s a level of experience and continuity that’s rare in Florida, built through three generations of commitment to both the craft and the Jacksonville community.
Every tree project comes with its own challenges. From tight backyard removals and crane-assisted jobs near homes to storm-damaged tree cleanup, we handle each property with careful planning, safe techniques, and respect for your landscape.

In Jacksonville, most trees that fail in a hurricane were already weakened long before the wind arrived — a hidden root problem, dead limbs, a heavy one-sided canopy. Those weaknesses are visible to a trained eye months ahead, which means most storm damage is preventable, not inevitable.

Removing a large tree is only half the work. The other half is making sure the lawn, driveway, home, and everything around the tree comes through untouched. Here's how Bushor’s Tree Surgeons protects a Jacksonville property on every removal:
Not every tree handles our heat, sandy soil, and hurricane winds the same way. The short version:
Not sure what you've got? Our arborists will assess any tree and tell you straight.
The City of Jacksonville protects many trees under its tree ordinance, and removing a protected or healthy tree can require a permit and, in some cases, mitigation. The rules depend on the tree's species, size, and location on the property. We help determine whether a permit is needed and handle the paperwork.

Each has its own ordinances.
We pull permits and provide the certified arborist reports local offices ask for.
Always check with your local government before removing a large or protected tree.

Our arborists rely on experience and proper evaluation to determine the safest and healthiest approach for each tree.
In many parts of Florida, including Jacksonville, you might need a permit to remove certain healthy or protected trees. It depends on the tree’s type, size, and where it’s located on your property. Before starting any removal, it’s best to check with the City of Jacksonville’s Planning and Development Department. If you’re unsure, our team can help figure out whether a permit is needed and guide you through the paperwork so everything’s handled correctly.
Tree removal costs vary depending on several factors such as tree height, trunk diameter, condition, and proximity to structures or power lines. Smaller trees might cost a few hundred dollars, while large or hazardous removals can range much higher due to the need for cranes or specialized equipment. Bushor’s Tree Surgeons provides detailed, transparent estimates after an on-site inspection, so you always know exactly what to expect before work begins.
If a storm knocks a tree over or leaves it hanging dangerously, call us right away. We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Our crew will get there quickly, make the area safe, and handle any necessary removals. We can also document the damage and work directly with your insurance provider to make the process smoother.
Yes, we do. After removing a tree, we can grind the stump down so your yard looks clean and level again. Since stump grinding depends on the stump’s size and location, it’s priced separately from tree removal. We’ll include it as an optional item in your estimate, and you can decide whether to include it.
Yes. Our arborists are ISA Certified, which means they follow professional standards for safety, tree health, and environmental care. You can trust that every pruning, removal, or inspection is done properly and with your property’s long-term health in mind.
We can usually book regular jobs within a day or two. If you’re dealing with storm damage, blocked driveways, or any safety hazard, we’ll prioritize your call and send a crew out as soon as possible. We always aim to respond quickly while keeping quality and safety first.
In Jacksonville, the best time for tree removal is typically from late fall to early spring when the weather is cooler and trees are less stressed. The ground is firmer, and there’s less interference from rain or storms. That said, if a tree is posing a safety risk — leaning, diseased, or storm-damaged — it’s better to take care of it right away. Our arborists can take a look and recommend the safest, most cost-effective time for removal.
