"Exceptional Service, Fair Pricing & Bonus Cleanup from Ward’s Tree Service Ward’s Tree Service recently removed two enormous trees from my small, fenced backyard, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Their team was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced — handling a complex job with speed, precision, and care. Jason was responsive and communicative throughout, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. The crew was pleasant, respectful, and left the space spotless. Not only did they go above and beyond what we originally discussed, but they also took care of all my fall yard cleanup while they were there — a thoughtful touch that truly set them apart. They were also the most fairly priced of all the quotes I received. No hidden fees, no upselling — just honest, high-quality work at a great value. Ward’s Tree Service combines expertise, efficiency, and integrity. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable tree removal and yard care done right."

"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"

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!"

FAQs for tree service projects in Charlottesville, VA

Professionals remove shrubs by first cutting back the branches using tools like pruning shears or chainsaws for thicker stems. They then cut the base close to the ground and dig around the root system to remove the roots completely, preventing regrowth. Finally, they’ll ensure proper disposal of branches and debris while complying with local regulations.

A bush stump will regrow if any portion of its root system remains. When even a small section of roots is left behind, new shoots emerge and regenerate the bush with leggy, spreading growth. Working with a professional landscaper ensures the complete removal of the stump and all roots, which is essential to prevent any regrowth, ensuring that the area remains clear and maintenance is minimized.
