Tree Trimming and Pruning

Albemarle County's trees are beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. A tree that isn't trimmed on a regular basis is a liability. Unpruned trees can break and fall on your house or car, causing property damage and personal injury. Pruning helps to keep disease and insect infestations at bay, which could kill the tree.

Our qualified arborists promote healthy trees through regular tree maintenance services such as tree pruning, trimming, fertilizing, disease control treatments, and tree removal if necessary, all at an affordable price you'll love.

Because we take great pride in our service and want it done right, we always use the highest quality tree pruning equipment from top brands like Stihl for all of our work. You don't have to worry about being taken advantage of because we're fully licensed and insured, so you're protected by the law. Call today for a free tree trimming estimate in Charlottesville, VA.

Tree Removal Charlottesville VA

Tree felling and removal are dangerous tasks that should be left to tree service contractors who have the necessary equipment. TreeCareHQ Charlottesville offers highly trained tree cutting professionals who use the most up-to-date safety equipment and well-maintained tree removal equipment.

We can handle any size job, whether it's a single small branch or a whole forest of trees that needs to be felled. Before we begin work, our team will assess your situation to determine exactly what needs to be done in order to complete the job safely and quickly.

When you hire us as your tree service company, you can rest assured that all of our tree specialists have received extensive training in safe practices when working with chainsaws, axes, chippers/shredders, and other power tools, as well as how to use ropes and harnesses while climbing trees.

Will my tree removal project require a permit?

In Albemarle County, it depends on whether the tree is on private or public property in most of Charlottesville, Keswick, Crozet, and Earlysville. Tree removal on public property will necessitate a permit. However, if you are on private property, you will not need a permit to remove trees up to five inches in diameter (but always check with your local governing authority for changes). If you have a call about removing a larger tree (one that is larger than five inches in diameter), please contact us to find out what applies to your specific situation.

When should a tree be removed?

This is a common question we get from Charlottesville residents and business owners. The following are some of the reasons why a tree should be removed:

When a tree poses an immediate danger, it should be removed.
A break or structural damage to the trunk that jeopardizes the tree's stability.
The root system is eroding.
If invasive pests live in its bark, it could result in fatal infestations.
Endangers utility lines, home/building foundations, electric cables, sewers/stormwater drains, and other structures.
Overhanging branches pose a hazard to pedestrians by making roads less visible and blocking sidewalks or roadsides.

If trees are deemed aesthetically pleasing, they should be trimmed rather than removed. Though removing a tree can be more expensive than simply maintaining it year round, the need for tree removal is much less common when proper maintenance and preventive care is provided.

What tree removal services are available?

TreeCareHQ Charlottesville provides a variety of tree removal services, including tree felling, chipping and grinding for disposal, salvaging wood from the trunk and top limbs for future use, limb-and-bark mulch for those interested in making their own compost or firewood, tree and land clearing for construction and development, and forestry mulching for eco-friendly lot clearing.

What is your cleanup process?

At TreeCareHQ Charlottesville, we take yard cleanup very seriously. When we finish our tree care services, we strive to leave our customers' properties spotless.

Our tree removal team always ensures that any debris left over from tree trimming and removal projects is hauled away. We have wood chippers available to make mulch from pruned limbs and branches as well as the bark of the trunk after a tree has been felled. If you prefer, we can also leave sections of a felled tree for use as firewood.

Cleanup Following a Storm

We also offer storm preparation services such as cabling and bracing to protect trees from damage caused by violent thunderstorms, high wind events, and freezing rain and ice storms.

When storms do occur and leave a mess in your landscape, our cleanup crew does an excellent job of quickly removing debris and restoring your home or business property to like-new condition.

What are the factors that can influence tree removal costs?

The cost of tree removal varies depending on the tree species, size of the tree, and other factors. Contacting us for a free assessment is the best way to get an accurate estimate. When determining the cost of tree removal service, consider the following questions:

What species of tree do I have?
What is the size or height?
How much space around my house will I need for equipment access?
How far is it from power lines and utilities?
Are there any nearby structures that could cause a hazard during the felling process?
Are emergency services required, such as when a tree falls and blocks a road or driveway?

Tree Stump Grinding & Removal

Our tree service professionals in Charlottesville also provide stump grinding and removal services for trees of any size. Our stump grinding service uses a machine known as a stump grinder to grind the stump down to a level surface, and we can also remove tree roots if that is what you prefer. Hire us to completely dig out the entire root system, or hire us to simply grind off the surface roots so that the area can be leveled and graded as necessary.

Land Clearing Service

What does land clearing service involve?

Land clearing is typically defined as the removal of trees, shrubs, and other vegetation from an undeveloped piece of land. People in Charlottesville, Virginia may want their land cleared for a variety of reasons. Some homeowners simply want grassy areas where they can play sports or relax outside. Others may be interested in constructing new decks or patios. A tree service company may perform commercial land clearing to make way for a new building or parking lot, or for landscaping purposes.

How much does land clearing cost?

For a lot less than an acre, clearing the land will typically cost between $1000 and $4000. A heavily forested area, on the other hand, could cost up to $6,000 to clear. Most Charlottesville, VA tree service or land clearing companies charge per square foot or per acre, depending on the size of the property and the amount of brush removal required. Grading and leveling the lot to prepare it for construction usually raises the price.

Forestry mulching is eco-friendly land clearing

Forestry mulching is simply land clearing with a single machine, such as a forestry mulcher, brushcutter, or forest masticator. It is a much faster and more eco-friendly process than traditional land clearing, which entails several steps. Furthermore, the mulched material can be left on the ground, lowering the risk of erosion. However, this can only be done on a small lot with small trees.
