Our Great Falls, VA Tree Services
Tree Removal and Stump Grinding
Sometimes trees develop weaknesses in structure or lose strength and vitality after suffering from a disease or pest infestation. They can grow too big for the property or interfere with buildings, sidewalks, or power lines. Trees sometimes grow too close together and compete for resources. When any of these issues arise, tree removal is sometimes the best option.
One of our certified arborists will inspect the trees on your property to develop a tree removal plan for specimens that can’t benefit from cabling and bracing or other tree preservation and management strategies. At Riverbend Tree Service, we offer several tree removal options, including:
- Large tree removal with a crane
- Tree felling
- Hazardous tree removal
We also offer stump grinding as an add-on service to tree removal. Leaving stumps behind can attract diseases and pests, create a hazard to people and equipment in your yard, and allow new stems to regrow from the stump. We’ll grind down the stump and surface roots, then fill the hole with the shavings.
Tree Pruning and Trimming
Tree trimming is necessary to maintain tree health and beauty. Our tree services in Great Falls, VA, include assessing the trees on your property to determine if they need structural pruning, property protection pruning, or hazard mitigation pruning. Some of our more common tree trimming methods include:
- Crown cleaning. We’ll look for weak, crossing, dead, or dying branches and remove them to reduce the risk to the tree from pests and diseases.
- Crown raising. We’ll trim low-hanging limbs that pose a danger to pedestrians or structures under the tree to improve ground clearance.
- Crown reduction or shaping. We’ll give the tree a haircut and crop the canopy by shortening limbs to reduce the size and height of the canopy and improve its shape.
- Hazardous tree pruning. We can address immediate concerns for hazard mitigation, including trees damaged by wind, snow, ice, fire, or lightning.
We’ll assess your trees and determine the best method to address each tree’s issues effectively with the right tree pruning method.
Tree Health Management
Ask about our tree health management programs if you want to beautify and strengthen your trees. Our TRAQ-certified arborist will inspect your trees, perform a Tree Risk Assessment, and take soil samples to develop a custom tree preservation and management plan for tree and shrub care around your property.
Fertilization
We’ll get soil tests from your property to measure the pH, nutrients, soil composition, and other factors in your soil, then create a custom fertilization plan, including a fertilizer blend tailored to your landscape conditions, organic and mineral soil amendments, and a schedule of applications timed to have maximum impact.
Insect Pests and Diseases
Many species of diseases, fungi, and insects infect or infest trees in Northern Virginia, including:
- Spider mites
- Boxwood blight
- Scale insects
- Fireblight
- Leaf-eating caterpillars
- Aphids
- Cicadas
- Apple scab
- Spotted lanternfly
If you notice signs of poor health in your trees and shrubs, contact us as soon as possible. We can identify the cause and apply targeted treatments of pesticides, fungicides, or horticultural oils to treat certain conditions and prevent re-infection of your trees in the future.
Root Health Management
Our customized root rejuvenation program targets root health, including soil aeration, loosening soil compaction, and improving the absorption rate of water and nutrient through the tree's roots.
Emergency Tree Service and Storm Damage Clean-Up
Fallen or storm-damaged trees can be unstable and dangerous to attempt to remove on your own. Removing storm-damaged trees requires professional training and safety equipment during storm damage clean-up. Our Emergency Tree Removal Team can manage emergency tree removal with safety harnesses, leads, bucket trucks, and cranes.
