"I only write a review when a company has gone above and beyond with their service.

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. ?

We Are a 13 Years of experience working on Tree Services Family owned business. Book your FREE ESTIMATE online at https://calendly.com/axcobartreeservices/schedulefreeestimate Melvin Alfaro started this business in 2010 ( After Graduated from Seneca Valley High School , in Germantown, MD 20874 ). With the support of his brother (Fidel Alfaro) , family, friends, teachers and customers who trust in our quality, the business got established. Thanks for all the support.

"I called for an estimate and the company sent a rep. He was very friendly and promised to send me a quote. Had to text back the email since their online system did not have it. That was it. Never heard back even after following up two times. Because of this I will not recommend. If you have a huge job, go risk working with the company. If you have a branch or small tree like mine, good luck getting even an estimate from this company. Totally unprofessional. Look at website, it should have been a sign. Verbose, mind 90s feel."

FAQs for tree service projects in Sterling, 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.
