Tree Service in Middletown, VA
Middletown and the countryside around it, handled by a family owned crew based just up the road in Berryville. Removal, pruning, stump grinding, and storm response.
Working in Middletown
Middletown sits in open country, and a lot of the work down there is on larger properties, farmsteads, and homes with real acreage around them. That usually means bigger trees with more room to work, which is a nicer job than a tight city lot, and it also means old field trees that have been standing alone for a very long time.
Open grown trees are their own category. A tree that spent a hundred years by itself in a field develops huge low horizontal limbs, because nothing ever crowded it upward. Those limbs are heavy, they are long, and they are the thing that fails on old farm trees. Reduction or cabling on that kind of limb is often what keeps a landmark tree standing.
We come down 340, cut over at Double Tollgate and pick up Route 11, the old Valley Pike, and we are past the Cedar Creek and Belle Grove ground and on your place in about thirty five minutes. There is no travel charge for coming that far.

What we see on Middletown properties
A few things come up over and over on calls out that end of the valley.
Open grown field trees
Oak, maple and walnut that stood alone in a pasture their whole life. Nothing ever crowded them upward, so they put the weight out sideways instead. Those long low limbs are what let go, usually in wet snow or a summer downburst.
Ash killed by borer
Emerald ash borer went through this end of the valley and the fence line ash paid for it. A dead ash goes brittle fast, which makes it a very different job standing than it is on the ground.
Barn and lane trees
Trees that grew up tight to a barn, a machine shed or the gravel lane, back when nothing was parked under them. Now there is equipment underneath and a limb over the roof that nobody wants to think about.
Worth a look first
An old field tree is usually worth a look before it is worth a stump. Deadwood out, weight off the long limbs, hardware in it if the trunk has a crack worth supporting. We will tell you straight which one you are looking at.

Getting to you, and what it costs to look
Getting to you
Down 340, over at Double Tollgate, then Route 11 past the Cedar Creek and Belle Grove ground. About thirty five minutes from the shop and no travel charge for it.
Room to work
Most Middletown jobs have ground around them, so a big tree can come down in bigger pieces than it could on a city lot. That is faster and it usually costs you less.
Farm lanes and long drives
The bucket truck, the chipper and the skid steer all have to get back to the tree. Tell us what the lane is like when you call and we will bring the right iron for it.
What we haul off
The wood and the brush go on the truck and leave with us. On open acreage the grapple and the chipper work right behind the saw, so the pasture never fills up with limbs and nothing gets left for you to drag off later.
Before we pull out
The last thing we do before we head back up Route 11 is rake the ground down.
Firewood and chips
If you want chips left for beds, or the wood cut to length and stacked for firewood, say so at the estimate and we will drop it where you want it instead of hauling it home.
What a look costs
Nothing. Estimates are free in Middletown and you get the number before any work starts.
How fast
We are open 24 hours. Call and we will tell you honestly where you fall in the queue.

Questions from Middletown
Call Robbie at (540) 514-7906.
- Do you work on farms and larger acreage?
Yes, that is a good part of what we do. We have the bucket truck, chipper, and skid steer to handle bigger properties efficiently.
- Can you save an old field tree instead of removing it?
Often yes. Deadwood removal, reduction on the heavy limbs, and cabling can add many years to a landmark tree. We will give you an honest read on whether it is worth it.
- Will you leave the wood for firewood?
Happily. Tell us at the estimate and we will cut it to length and leave it stacked rather than hauling it off.
- Do you charge for travel to Middletown?
No. It is inside our normal service area.
