We are a full-service tree company serving clients in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and some areas of Suffolk. Art-is-Tree offers tree removal, elevation, pruning, and stump grinding. We are accredited by the Hampton Roads Better Business Bureau, licensed, and insured.
"Contractor described in detail what was to be cut or trimmed. The pecan tree had numerous limbs that needed trimming due to illness. There were three limbs that were already broken needing only to be slightly cut to fall completely. The contractor described the different limbs that were dying and needed to be trimmed and shaped,symetrically. I was left assured the dead limbs would be trimmed back and the tree left in a symetrical shape. I was not called to inform me that they were at my home. I had to leave an appointment and drive to my home. Again I went over exactly what the contractor was to do in detail. Due to the other appointment I paid the contractor and left. Since the contractor and I had reviewed the work to be done twice, I felt comfortable paying him."

When your property needs tree trimming, tree removal, stump grinding, or storm damage cleanup, you can turn to us. We have been providing superior tree service and snow removal to the area for more than 28 years. No job or tree is too big for our experts.
"They took down the back fence with care, got the 3 trees down (like 50+ft each) and the 4th trimmed, they cleaned everything up and were very professional and helpful. 2 guys came back the next day to put the back fence back up for us because a support post got taken out to give them access to the trees. They bought some concrete and a new 4x4 and screws to put the fence back in correctly. They were very sweet and helpful, bunch of very talented teddy bears. Would absolutely recommend and hire them again."

You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.
In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.
It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees.
When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.
If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble.
Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.
A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.
Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
