Trees add a lot to your home or business. When trees are present in your property, your place looks more inviting and calm. Well-maintained trees give you and the environment essential benefits that cannot be discarded. On the other hand, trees that lack keeping and maintaining can be dangerous in the future. Trees will benefit a lot from proper care. Can you do the job alone? If you can work on heavy equipment and knows everything about the technicalities of tree care, by all means, you can. But if you aren't experienced and know little about tree care in general, it is wise to hire an arborist.
​
Arborists are not your regular landscape artists. Arborists specialize in the art and science of tree care. They understand what your tree needs and they know how to meet these needs. They don't only have the proper training needed for tree care, but also the equipment essential to performing the task of caring for your trees. Using the service of an arborist is something that one should consider with thought. Well-maintained trees are investments that can eventually generate returns to the owner. Tree services such as pruning and tree removal are elaborate tasks and should only be done by an expert. 

Pruning Trees 
An arborist knows the proper way of pruning and the type of pruning needed to be done to keep your trees healthy, safe, and appealing. Some of the reasons your tree may need pruning are the following:

• Take care of crossing or interfering branches.
• Eliminating branches or limbs that are in contact with power lines, building structures, roofs, windows, or block sidewalks.
• Cutting down dead or damaged limbs that cause potential harm to you and your property.
• Removing infected and diseased trees.
• Creating a better form to lessen the risk of possible storm damage due to strong wind.
• Training trees for better structure. 
• Eliminating limbs affected by severe weather conditions.
• Keeping the proportion relevant to the weight.
• Removing unnecessary branches.
• Making sure your tree is in good shape. 

Tree Removal 
Tree removal should never be the first option when it comes to tree care. However, if deemed necessary, an arborist is skilled and equipped to take on the job safely and efficiently. Removal should be done only when:

• The tree is dying or is already dead. 
• The tree is beyond repair.
• The tree is harming other trees.
• The tree is improperly planted in a development site.
• The tree is causing trouble when it comes to nearby structures.
• The tree needs to be replaced by a more appropriate specimen. 

Emergency Tree Care 
Storms and other natural phenomenon damage and even cause trees to fall. Trees impacted by these weather conditions can be hard to take care of because of the danger it comes with. An arborist can do the job using a safe approach and eliminating the risks of further damage to your property. Utmost caution should be practiced in these situations and an arborist is trained to do just that. 

Here is a brief look at our most popular tree services in Virginia Beach, VA.

​Tree trimming can make a world of difference in a tree's appearance as well as health.  In cases, where a tree removal is not required, our tree trimming service will help.  This service includes cutting branches in the tree's canopy away from nearby property structures, such as homes and electrical lines.  Additionally, we will thin the canopy out making it less wind resistant, which will help preserve it in strong storms.  Lastly, we will remove dead and dying branches throughout the tree.  

As part of our tree trimming service, we will inspect the tree health.  We can diagnose and treat all tree diseases and insect infestations.  As certified arborists, we can identify fungus on tree limbs that a typical property owner may miss.  We can then prescribe the proper treatment, likely saving the tree from certain death.  Lastly, we provide emergency service when you need tree care right after a strong storm or ice.  

​Tree removals may be necessary for a number of valid reasons.  As tree care professionals we understand cutting down a tree is never an easy decision, however, there are certainly good reasons to do so.  Trees can become so infected by a disease that the only recourse is to remove the tree.  Further, trees that encroach on property structures often have to be removed as trimming in not feasible.  Also, trees need to be removed if they are damaged beyond repair by mother nature.  Tree removal can be needed if it is causing a major landscaping issue, such as not being able to grow grass.  Lastly, tree growth can impair vision, such as seeing a traffic signal, requiring their removal.  

Virginia Beach Tree Service removes trees for all of these reasons.  We offer fast, affordable, and insured tree removal service for when you have no other alternative.  We can remove even the most difficult to reach trees, such as those in backyards, within a fence, and very close to a home or building.  We have all the equipment to remove large, mature tree efficiently and safely.   Lastly, we are fully insured, both with worker's compensation for our employees as well as liability coverage, which covers any accidental property damage. 

Tree removal generally demands the stump then be removed.  Stump grinding is generally the most cost-effective way to remove a tree stump.  With stump grinding, the stump is ground below the ground so that the area can then be re-seeded or sodded.  The service generally takes about 1-2 hours and there is minimal damage done to the surrounding area.
