"The men did an amazing job removing trees and hedges from my home. They left my yard so pristine after they were done with the removal. I have recommended them to my new neighbors and plan to use them again for landscaping in the fall."

"I only write a review when a company has gone above and beyond with their service. I know there are so many companies to choose from but if you want an honest, fair, professional, caring and truly knowledgeable company this one is 100% the one to choose. You can't go wrong with them. I used the text message option to get in contact (that was a great option) with them and within an hour they showed up at the door ready to help with my tree problem. I learned more about trees in 10 mins than I've known my whole life. If you want the best company out there you definitely should use Virginia Tree Specialist. ? If there was a 10 star ? rating I would pick that because that's what they deserve"

Customers say: True professional

"I had been told by two other companies they would take care of my lawn and after 6 weeks of no grass being cut, I was feeling like I may need to buy a mower and do it myself. Semper Fi Landscaping and Lawn Care came out, quoted a fair price, and took care of my lawn the same day I first made contact. They have been taking care of my lawn every week since. Thanks :)"

"Agile Tree Services did an incredible job of cutting down two large trees in a very small space next to the house. This was done without damaging a brand new fence that was very close to the trees. I thought they were very professional and showed up on time compared to all the contractors that I have dealt with."

"I highly recommend Jorge and his team. I received a printed quotation and a quote for a very reasonable price. My wife even mentioned how nice the tree cleanup looked when completed. They assisted me in a big job of 3 trees being cleaned up after they were on the ground. Used a big chipper and multiple chainsaws to cut the trunks into pieces. Highly recommended. Thank you Jorge!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

The cost of trees varies massively based on the size of the tree and the species. A small Colorado spruce can cost as little as $30, but a golden rain tree of the same size can cost $90. Large trees can cost $1,500 or more, depending on their species and height.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.
