Tree Removal & Stump Grinding
Tree Removal Services
safe · Convenient · Affordable
As ISA Certified Arborists, we'd rather use our expertise to preserve your trees than to cut them down. However, there are times when tree removal is the best option. That's why we offer a full range of tree removal services, from quick removal of smaller trees to careful removal of large trees, hazardous trees, and trees in hard-to-access locations.
We take great pride in safely removing trees from nearly any type of property in northern Virginia, including dense urban areas, commercial properties, suburban residences, and construction sites.
Our crews follow the highest safety standards for all tree work, use up-to-date tree removal techniques, and have the specialized equipment needed to get the job done properly.
If you're not sure if your tree should be removed, our experienced arborists can help you make that decision. You can also check out the common signs that it's time to cut down a tree.
Crane Services for Tree Removal
Some trees are either too big or too dangerous for our climbing crews to safely climb and remove with regular methods. Other trees are located to close to buildings or public areas and can't be safely dropped in the available space.
For these trees, we use our specialized crane equipment run by an experienced crane operator. This crane quickly lifts and moves large sections of trees to an area where the tree can be safely cut apart and disposed of.
Using a crane allows us to remove large and dangerous trees while also reducing risks to your property and our crew.

Hazardous Tree Removal
Whether it's due to storm damage, poor growing conditions, insect infestations or diseases, trees can become unstable and pose a hazard to people and structures around them. It's important to carefully inspect dangerous trees and determine the best way to remove them while minimizing the risk of damage to anything nearby.
Our ISA Certified Arborists are specially trained to assess hazardous trees and are experienced at safely removing dangerous trees throughout the northern Virginia area.
Stump Grinding
When a tree is cut down, you're left with a tree stump. Many customers choose to have us remove the tree stump when we're finished with a tree removal job.
Stump grinding involves grinding down the stump to approximately 12 inches below the soil surface. We also grind out the tree’s surface roots within three feet of the stump.
After the stump is fully ground, we use the grindings to fill the hole that's left behind by the stump grinding process..

Reasons Why It May Be Time To Remove Your Tree
We know you have options when it comes to choosing the right Northern Virginia tree service company to take down your trees. And, sometimes, it can be difficult to know which things to look at when making your choice. Below are some of the reasons why we think Riverbend Landscapes & Tree Service is the best choice for tree removal service.
Unsafe or Damaged Beyond Repair
Trees should be taken out if they pose a significant safety hazard to property and people, especially if the problem cannot be resolved through other means. This is often the case with storm damage.
Dead or Dying
A dead or dying tree causes a hazardous situation as it continues to deteriorate, whether that's due to pests like gypsy moth, diseases, or just a slow decline from old age.
Blocking Access
Sometimes, trees grow so large (or in unexpected directions) that they block access to a road, sideway, drive, walkway, patio or deck, and pruning alone cannot clear the way
Too Close to buildings or other Trees
Trees that are growing too close together can crowd and harm other nearby trees, while those growing near your home or other structures can damage your roof, siding, utility lines, vents, AC units, etc.
In or Near a Construction Zone
Nearby construction can severely damage or kill a tree if it's not properly protected, and sometimes a tree must be removed to make way for new landscaping, paved areas, structures, solar panels, etc.
Too Large, Messy, Shady or Ugly
Trees can easily get too big for your yard, create too much shade, drop too many leaves in your swimming pool, have too many roots, block too much of the view, and more.
