Arborist-Owned, and the Owners Say When a Tree Can Stay
Jeff, Jerry and Garth have been giving homeowners across Roanoke, VA a straight answer for more than two decades. They own the company, an arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture looks at every job, and one of them looks at your tree before anybody quotes it.
If the tree can be pruned instead of removed, you will hear that too. We do not cut a tree that does not need cutting.
We take the tree down safe, and we haul off every limb before we leave.
Jeff, Garth, and their team of guys worked very hard on removing this tree. They were all very nice and professional, in spite of this challenging job.

24/7 Emergency Tree Service After a Storm Puts a Trunk on the Roof
Ice, wind and saturated ground drop trees at bad hours. Call, and the crew rolls out to make the scene safe.
Tree Services, and What Happens on Each Job
Every job starts the same way. An arborist reads the tree, the ground under it, and whatever is standing close enough to get hit.
Tree Removal for Dead, Leaning and Storm-Damaged Trees
The crew rigs the tree down in a sectional dismantle from the bucket truck. When the drop zone is tight, the grapple saw crane lifts it out with no climbing and no ruts across your lawn.
Tree Removal
Tree Trimming and Pruning: Structure, Clearance and Storm Load
The crew takes the deadwood out, thins the crown, and pulls limbs back off your roof and the power drop. Every pruning cut lands at the branch collar so the tree can seal it.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Stump Grinding Below Grade, With the Chips Raked Flat
The crew grinds the stump below grade and chases the surface roots out with it. The chips get raked flat, so nothing is left to trip on or mow around.

Tree Risk Assessment When You Suspect Decay, Disease or Root Damage
A tree risk assessment covers the structure, the roots and the terrain together. A certified arborist names what is there, whether that is emerald ash borer, oak decline or a lifted root plate, then tells you if the tree is hazardous or worth keeping.
Tree Risk AssessmentThree Steps From Your Call to a Clean Yard
1. Call the crew, or send photos of the tree
Photos and a short video are usually enough for an arborist to size up the job.
2. An arborist walks the property and prices the work
You get a written number, the plan for access, and an honest read on whether the tree can be saved.
3. The crew takes the tree down and hauls off the brush
Brush chipped, wood handled, chips raked out or left for mulching, drive and lawn swept before the trucks pull off.

Tree Service Reviews From Homeowners
They took two huge trees out of our backyard in a tricky, hard to reach spot with no trouble at all.

These gentlemen have done tree work for me over the past 20 years... they are thoroughly honest and reliable and they show up to work when they say they will.

Roanoke Valley Tree Service, Town by Town.
The crew runs out of Moneta and works the Roanoke Valley daily.
What Homeowners Ask Before They Call a Tree Service
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. The estimate is free, and there is no charge for the visit. An arborist comes out first because the price turns on the height of the tree, the species, what is standing under the drop zone, and how close a truck can get to it. You get the price and the work plan in writing before the crew starts.
How soon can somebody come out and look at the tree?
Send the form or call, and an arborist gets back to you once the crew is off the ropes for the day. If the tree is on the house or in the road, call instead of waiting, because that one jumps the schedule. The crew runs out of Moneta, Virginia, and works the valley daily. He will tell you where you sit on the schedule when he calls back.
What do you need from me before somebody comes out?
Your name, a phone number, the property address, and a couple of lines about what the tree is doing. Photos and a short video are usually enough for an arborist to size up the job before he drives out. Tell him which side of the house it is on and whether a gate or a bed is in the way, so he already knows the route when he walks it.
Can you get to a tree in a tight spot or on a steep lot?
Usually, yes. The grapple saw crane can take a tree standing when the drop zone is tight, with no climbing and no rutted lawn. Where the crane cannot reach, the crew rigs the tree down in a sectional dismantle or works it from the bucket truck. Beds and shrubs get covered whatever the terrain, and the crew hauls off the brush and debris.

What the crew brings to a Roanoke, VA tree service job
| Equipment | What it does | Where the crew uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket truck | Lifts a climber to the limbs without climbing | Yards the truck reaches from the drive |
| Grapple saw crane | Picks and cuts sections in one move | Tight drop zones and limbs above a roof |
| Climbing saddle and ropes | Gets a climber up where equipment cannot go | Back yards, fenced lots and steep ground |
| Rigging blocks and lowering device | Lowers heavy limbs on a controlled line | Anything above a roof, fence or beds |

What happens to the wood once the tree is down?
The crew cuts the trunk up and loads it, and the brush goes through the chipper on site. The chips get raked out, or left in a pile if you want the mulch. Logs and brush go on the truck before the crew leaves, and the drive and the lawn get swept behind them. Where the wood ends up is written on the estimate, so it is settled before anybody starts cutting.
