Tree Removal
Backyard Tree Removal in Portsmouth, VA
Backyard trees are usually the hardest to reach. We plan the access, protect the lawn and carry it out.

Overview
How we handle backyard tree removal
Backyards come with fences, sheds, pools, gardens and gates that a truck cannot fit through. Most of the work happens on ropes, and a lot of the wood leaves by hand or in small loads. We plan the route through your yard before we start and protect anything along the way.
Tell us about pets, irrigation lines and anything buried that we should avoid. We leave the gate the way we found it and the yard raked clean.
Serving Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News, Smithfield, Williamsburg, Yorktown and Poquoson.

Reviews
Neighbors who called us.
“They removed a large tree close to our house and cleaned everything up before leaving. Very professional and easy to work with.”
“Fast response after a storm knocked down branches in our yard. They came out quickly and made everything safe again.”
“Fair price, great communication, and the crew worked carefully around our fence and landscaping. Highly recommend.”
Will you need to take my fence down?
Almost never. Most backyard removals go through existing gates. If a panel needs to come off for access, we discuss it with you first.
What about my neighbor's side?
If branches hang over a neighbor's yard, it helps to let them know we are coming. We work to keep everything on your side of the fence.
Are your estimates really free?
Yes. No charge and no pressure to book. You get a straight answer and a firm price.
Do you clean up and haul everything away?
Yes. Cleanup is part of the job: brush chipped, wood hauled and hard surfaces blown off. If you want firewood or wood chips left behind, just ask.
