About Mother Nature Tree Service
A family owned tree service in Berryville, Virginia, working the Northern Shenandoah Valley since 1977.
Family Run Since 1977
Mother Nature Tree Service started in 1977 and has been working the same valley ever since. Nearly fifty years in one place is not a marketing line, it is a track record.
The trees we pruned twenty years ago are trees we still drive past, and the people we worked for back then send their kids to us now.
Today Robbie proudly carries on the tradition, while his late father and the founder of the company, Rob Whitacre, affectionately known as “Pappy”, still rides to every job, at least in our hearts and minds. Every truck has a memorial to the man who started the company.
His grandson Robbie Whitacre is currently working with the company, learning the same way his father did. One day, when the time is right, he will be operating the company.
We are the oldest privately owned tree service in Winchester and the counties of Frederick and Clarke. That’s something we are very proud of, three generations strong. We have accounts that are older than the current owner, and father and son are still working with these clients. We like to think that’s pretty remarkable, and we have a real sense of pride in our work.
Call the office at (540) 514-7906 and tell us what the tree is doing.
The Men on the Truck
Same crew, job after job. Nobody gets in the bucket who has not been taught the cut, and every man on the ground is in a helmet with the ropes rigged before the first section comes off.
Insured Both Ways
General liability and workers compensation, both in force. Certificate sent before we start if you want to see it.
Rigged Before the Cut
Helmets, harnesses and rigging on every job, no exceptions. Nothing comes off the tree until the ropes are set.
Our Own Iron
Bucket truck, chipper, grapple and skid steer on our own trucks. Nothing gets rented and nothing waits on a subcontractor.
Straight Answers
If a tree can be saved we will say so. If it needs to come out we will say that too, and we will tell you when what you asked for would hurt the tree.
A 4.9 star average across every review left on our Google profile, going back years, left by homeowners in Winchester, Berryville, Boyce and across Clarke and Frederick County. Read our Google reviews.
Painted on the Boom
Slingin’ Big Wood Since ’77 is not a slogan somebody wrote for us. It is paint on the side of a working truck, and it has been on every truck this company has run.
You will see it come up your driveway before you see it anywhere else. That is the point of it.
The cab doors carry one more piece of lettering, a decal that reads Pappy, 1947 to 2018. His name rides on the doors of every truck this company runs.

What We Run, Where We Go, When We Answer
Plenty of outfits cut a tree down and leave you the mess. That has never been how this works.
Having the right machine on site is what lets a big removal happen in a day instead of a week, and it is why the cleanup is actually finished when we pull out. The wood and brush go on our truck and the ground gets raked before anybody leaves.
We work out of Berryville and across Clarke and Frederick County, into Winchester, Stephenson, Stephens City, Middletown, Boyce and White Post, and over the mountain to Purcellville, Round Hill, Hillsboro, Bluemont and Philomont. Somebody answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Estimates are free, and you get a firm price in writing before anybody starts a saw.
