Tree Removal in Winchester, VA
Dead, damaged, or simply too close to the house. We take it down safely and we haul the whole mess out when we are done.
When a Tree Needs to Come Down
Not every problem tree has to go. But some do, and putting it off usually costs more than doing it. These are the signs we get called for most often around Clarke and Frederick County.
- Large dead limbs over a roof, driveway, or play area
- A visible split or crack running down the trunk
- Fungus, conks, or soft hollow spots at the base
- A lean that keeps getting worse, with soil lifting on one side
- Roots into a foundation, septic field, or water line
- Storm damage that took out more than a third of the crown
When one has to come out, we take it down in pieces if that is what the spot calls for, and the wood and brush leave with us.
What Every Removal Includes
- A free estimate and a firm price in writing before anybody starts a saw
- Full insurance, general liability and workers compensation
- Bucket truck or a climber, whichever the tree calls for
- Sections roped and lowered over anything we cannot afford to hit
- Wood and brush hauled off, or cut to length and stacked if you want the firewood
- The work area raked down before we pull out
What Drives the Price
Two trees that look the same size from the road can price very differently. Here is what we are actually looking at when we walk your property.
- The size of the tree, both the height and the diameter of the trunk
- Which way it leans and where it wants to fall on its own
- Whether the bucket truck can get to it or a man has to climb it
- How far the chipper has to sit from the work
- How much wood is left on the ground when the tree is down
- Whether anything has to come out over a building or a fence
Estimates are free and we give you the number before any work starts.
How the Job Goes
1. Free estimate
We come look at the tree, the drop zone, and the access. You get a firm price in writing before anything starts.
2. Set up and protect
Bucket truck or climber depending on the tree. We rope and lower sections over anything we cannot afford to hit.
3. Cut and clear
Sections come down controlled, one at a time. The chipper and grapple work right behind the saw so the yard never gets buried.
4. Haul and rake
Wood and brush leave with us. We rake the area down before we pull out.
Trees Near Houses and Power Lines
The tight ones are the reason people call a company with a bucket truck and forty nine years of doing this. A tree hanging over a roof does not come down in one piece. It comes down in controlled sections, roped and lowered, which takes longer and costs more than dropping it in an open field. That is the honest tradeoff and we will explain it at the estimate.
If the tree is touching a primary power line, that is the utility company, not us. Call them first. We will tell you straight if that is the situation instead of taking the job.
Tight work over a roof runs differently than an open field drop, and we price it that way.

Questions About Tree Removal
Call Robbie at (540) 514-7906.
- How much does tree removal cost in Winchester, VA?
It depends on height, trunk diameter, what is underneath it, and how hard the access is. A small open yard tree is very different money from a large hardwood over a roof. Estimates are free and we give you a firm number before any work starts.
- Do you grind the stump too, or is that separate?
Stump grinding is a separate service and we are glad to include it. Ask for it in the estimate and we will price the removal and the grinding together.
- Do you haul the wood away?
Yes, hauling is included. If you want the wood cut to length and stacked for firewood, tell us at the estimate and we will leave it.
- Are you insured, and can I see the certificate?
Yes. General liability and workers compensation. We will send the certificate of insurance before we start if you want to see it.
- How soon can you get out to a Winchester property?
For a normal removal, usually within a week or two depending on the season. If a tree is actively threatening the house, call (540) 514-7906 and we will work you in.
