We are the last Tree Care Service company you will ever need, as we take great pride in our experience and expertise, focusing on doing the exact job our clients request with a dedication to quality unmatched by our competitors. We offer FREE ESTIMATES for all phases on tree removal trimming tree pruning, stump grinding, and debris/bush/shrub removal projects; just give us a call if you want the job done. EMERGENCY RESPONSE 24/7

"I had multiple large dead ash trees in my back yard, 2 of which were hanging over my septic field which made for a tricky situation since I did not want to damage the pipes in the septic field by bringing heavy equipment or damage from falling tree pieces. Eduardo and team carefully lowered the pieces down with a bungee cord and carried them away via wheel barrel. I also had a dead ash that was entwined in another tree that no one else was willing to climb and just wanted to take it down whole which would damage other trees in it's path. Eduardo and team carefully took it down without damaging any of the branches of the tree it was tangled in. I was impressed! I obtained 5 bids for this job and Eduardo bid the lowest price, and was willing to remove all the debris from the trees (even tiny stick pieces from the branches) and replant the grass in any areas that were damaged. A couple other bidders were annoyed that I cared about my grass not being damaged and that I wanted to charge me extra for it and that did not leave a good impression. Eduardo, the owner, worked for several years for Rappahanock Electric trimming trees around power lines and so his previous experience doing that gave me the extra confidence to hire him. He also had his insurance company send me his insurance certificate with me listed as additional insured on the certificate prior to the job. After he took down the trees, I then asked him to clean up the back path through my property which had cut up trees and logs and branches laying everywhere from the last 20 years. After his team was done it looked so pretty like a piece of the Appalachian trail and now I go for a walk back there every day. I am so pleased with them I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to everyone!"

"I hired Jovel to build stairs, retaining walls and planters connecting my existing patio to a new patio that I also hired Jovel's company to build. The stairs, retaining wall and planters were completed in September. In October, I had a licensed inspector at my home for another project and he pointed out that the stairs Jovel had built did not meet code. The inspector stated that stairs must be of equal rise and the lower and upper stairs were not in acceptable range with the other two. He also stated that three or more stairs required a handrail and that the stairs were POOR construction. Jovel has refused to correct the issue or refund any money paid. Please see pics for inspection report."

FAQs for arboricultural service projects in Rapidan, VA

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers. 

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:

  • Location

  • Yard size

  • Project size

  • Materials

  • Land preparation

  • Type of landscaping

Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000
