Tree removal & trimming
We take down unwanted trees, cut back overgrown branches and clean up the work area completely.
Most often as part of a landscape renovation or lot clearing.
What we do
Tree work is usually the first step of a bigger change to the yard, so we plan what comes after it too.
Tree removal
Taking down unwanted, dead or overgrown trees to make room for a new landscape, patio or lawn.
Trimming
Cutting back branches that hang over the roof, driveway or walkways, or shade out the lawn.
Shrub & small tree removal
Clearing overgrown hedges and foundation plantings before replanting.
Lot clearing
Removing trees and brush as part of grading and land clearing.
Cleanup
Removing branches and debris, so the area is ready for what comes next.
Replanting
Trees and shrubs that suit the spot, as part of a landscape renovation.
When to remove or trim
We tell you honestly which one makes sense.
Tick what you see in your yard.
Trim If the tree is healthy and only a few branches are in the way, trimming is usually enough.
Remove If it is dead, leaning, damaging structures or in the way of a project, removal is the better choice.
What tree work costs
It depends on the size of the tree, where it stands and how much cleanup is needed. A small tree in an open yard is a quick job; a large tree close to the house or fence takes far more care, so we do not quote over the phone. Every estimate is free and done on site.
- The height and trunk size of the tree
- How close it is to the house or fences
- Access for equipment
- How many trees or shrubs are involved
- Cleanup and hauling of branches and debris
- Replanting or new landscape afterwards
Careful work, clean yard
Late winter
The best time to trim most trees: they are dormant and the branch structure is easy to see.
Dead or hanging branches can be removed any time. Flowering trees and shrubs are best trimmed right after they bloom, and crape myrtles pruned lightly in late winter, never cut back to stumps.

Near a power line?
Large trees close to power lines need the utility company. If a tree touches or is close to a line, call your electric provider first.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Virginia Beach?
For most trees on a private residential lot, no. Trees near the water can be protected, though: on waterfront lots, part of the property may be in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, where removing trees is restricted. Check with your city before removing trees near the shoreline.
