JL Tree Service Inc has been in business since 1975 and has over 70 employees. We are Fully Insured and licensed. We offer free estimates for all tree services including tree & stump removal, tree care & pruning, tree fertilizing & planting, cabling and preservation. Many of our employees have been with our company for over 20 years. We have 5 staffed certified arborists, 13 tree crews, 3 stump crews, 2 crane operators and cranes, and more. Contact us for Quality Work, Quick Response, & Reasonable Rates! Additional address - Po Box 2366 Fairfax, VA 22031. Award winning.

"Received 5 quotes for this big, expensive job. JL was not the cheapest, nor were they most expensive. I had used them previously and was overall pleased with their work, so I decided to use them again. I was not disappointed. The crew showed up on time and systematically took down the tree in less than a full day. I was impressed. Nothing on the property was damaged and this was a feat in itself as the tree removal was in the back yard and on a hill. The JL Team had to remove all of the tree limbs, cut the tree trunk into discs, split the discs, and then HAND CARRY out each piece of the tree trunk - down a slope with rocks and multiple stairs. Clean up was perfect - no complaints. The foreman on the job did a great job and was able to make a few minor adjustments on the fly for my pruning requests. They even stacked up a small amount of wood that I wanted to keep for firewood. Would recommend."

Virginia Tree Specialist can provide you with the maximum experience in hazardous removals, and all phases of tree care. We are a state of the art company, and have all necessary equipment to service your tree care needs.

"This was initially a one-day job that became two due to the necessity of tree climbing at times, instead of bucket-truck usage. The Outcome: What a difference! Since the completion of the work, there have been several days/nights with very, very strong winds. However, due to the company's detailed pruning, there was very, very little yard debris for me to collect. Additionally, there were several tree stumps (old & new) that were ground; along with targeted trees removed. This has resulted in a fantastic yard improvement (front, sides, & back). The company/crew has a system of precision, skill, experience, and focus that is quite evident!"

LPZ Tree Solution, is offering tree services in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) Area. We are a company with 20 years of experience, looking for the opportunity to serve at the lowest cost, we have all the licenses and insurance necessary to do the job. TREE REMOVAL, TREE TRIMMING, ANY work related to trees, we are the ones for the job.

"LPZ Tree Solution is an excellent company, start to finish! A quote was provided upon inspection. The team was punctual, efficient, and worked diligently. They carefully removed two large trees and a dead trunk in less than five hours. Logs and trimmings were removed with minimal property damage (falling logs do dent dirt). The 80 footer had rot high up and stood by a brick wall. Limbs were cut and lowered without incident. LPZ called Miss Utilities and ground stumps after MU indicated where power/water/gas lines were located. Negotiations to conclusion was under two weeks! Everyone in the six-man team was professional and courteous. I will hire again if the need arises. They are that good!"

***Winter Rates are in Effect: and 10% off on jobs over $500**Our family owned company has provided quality tree services for more than 55 years. We are a fully licensed and insured business that caters to residential and commercial customers. We also have a certified Arborist on staff. In addition, we also offer free estimates and in-house financing on all of our services. Ensure that your property looks pristine with our friendly and experienced tree professionals. Cost is determined by the job. License no: #201. No matter how complex your tree removal, we have the experience to: Do the job right Do the job safely Do the job efficiently Do the job affordably Do the job to your complete satisfaction

"They took down a dying ash for me and did a good job. There are a few big reasons I'm giving them a bad review. First, despite my specifically asking if a tree removal permit was required, they said no. They know better - I found out afterwards that a permit is required. I could have been fined a serious amount of $$$. They also recommended trimming my huge elm tree in July, but lucky for me two other tree companies told me that elms can only be trimmed in winter when they are dormant. Trimming elms when they have leaves risks Dutch Elm disease. Shifflett has been in business for a long time - surely they know better about all of the above. Really disappointed. In DC, both you as the homeowner and the tree service can get slapped with hefty fines (like $10K and up) for failing to apply for a permit to remove a tree. For a dead or dying tree, the permits are free. Adirondack Tree not only told me I had to get a permit, they also applied and got it for me. It took about 2 days. People may not know that in DC and other areas like Takoma Park, MD, you need a permit to remove trees, but a professional tree service should know and follow this law, it's there for a good reason. See ddot.dc.gov/page/tree-re… Beyond that, Shifflett's estimate that was way more than those from two other tree companies. I'm just lucky that I got other estimates - otherwise I would have paid far more, risked being fined for not having the required permit, and my elm tree could have gotten Dutch Elm disease due to Shifflet's negligence."
