“My old oak tree was completely overgrown with moss and ivy choking out the branches. Richmond Tree Service came out and carefully pruned it all back without damaging the trunk. The tree looks healthier already and they cleaned up every last leaf and branch, my yard went from jungle to clean in one afternoon.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Had them trim our hedges along the property line and they made them look perfect, straight edges, uniform height, the whole nine yards. The crew was efficient and finished faster than I expected.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We needed our back lot cleared for a reforestation project and these guys knew exactly what they were doing. They removed all the dead wood and brush without disturbing the soil structure, and the site was ready for planting within a week. Really impressed with their knowledge of how to prep land properly.”
Land Clearing
“Took out two massive trees from our backyard and ground the stumps down so flat you'd never know they were there. The whole crew was careful around our fence and garden beds. Honestly thought it would take days but they wrapped it up in a single morning.”
Tree Removal & Stump Grinding
“We called them to clear out some overgrown shrubs before planting new landscaping. They did a thorough job removing everything and left the area clean and ready to go.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“The large maple in front of our house was getting way too heavy on one side and hanging over the roof. The arborist came out, assessed it, and did a professional pruning that balanced it perfectly. They explained exactly what they were doing and why, felt like I actually learned something. No regrets.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Wasn't sure if we should plant a new tree near our foundation, so we got an arborist consultation from Richmond Tree Service. The advice was honest and practical, they actually talked us out of one spot and recommended a better location. Best money spent.”
Arborist Consultation
“A huge branch came down in the storm and was hanging dangerously over our driveway. Called Richmond Tree Service and they got someone out same day to remove it safely. Couldn't have asked for faster response.”

Richmond Tree Service is the trusted choice for homeowners across Richmond and the surrounding areas who need professional tree care. Whether you're in the historic neighborhoods of the Fan District and Church Hill, the established residential zones of Ginter Park and Forest Hill, the newer suburban communities of Short Pump and Glen Allen, or the growing corridors toward Mechanicsville and Tuckahoe, our team brings decades of local expertise to every job. We understand Richmond's unique landscape, from the towering willow oaks lining our oldest avenues to the loblolly pines and red maples dotting our wooded lots.
When homeowners search for a tree service near me in Richmond, they're looking for reliability, professionalism, and fair pricing. Richmond Tree Service delivers all three. Call us at (804) 207-5832 or request a free estimate today.
Storm damage and hazardous trees are a reality for Richmond homeowners. Our region's humid subtropical climate brings violent afternoon thunderstorms, the remnants of Atlantic hurricanes, and winter ice storms that can fell oaks and tall pines onto roofs, vehicles, and power lines in seconds. When a tree falls on your home, blocks your driveway, or threatens your family's safety, you need immediate professional help. Richmond Tree Service offers Emergency Tree Service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our crews are trained to safely remove fallen trees, cut down hazardous limbs hanging over your roof or yard, and clear debris quickly so you can reclaim your property and peace of mind.
Tree removal is one of the most critical services we provide, especially for large specimens near structures. We handle complex removals where space is tight, access is limited, or the tree sits dangerously close to power lines, fences, and neighboring properties.
Don't wait for a tree to fail. If you notice a dead or dying tree, hanging limbs, or signs of disease or pest damage like emerald ash borer or hypoxylon canker, contact us immediately. Call (804) 207-5832 for emergency removal or to discuss your concerns. Our arborists can assess the risk and recommend whether removal or preservation is the best choice for your property.
The cost of tree removal and other tree services in Richmond depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how easily our crew can access it, its proximity to your home or other structures, whether power lines or fences are nearby, and the full scope of what needs to be done. A small ornamental tree in an open yard costs far less than a 100-foot oak wedged between a historic brick rowhouse and an iron porch. For detailed information about pricing in your area, visit our pricing page. Every job is unique, and the best way to know what your tree service will cost is to request a free estimate from our team.
Beyond emergency removal and large tree work, Richmond Tree Service handles the full spectrum of tree and landscape care. Stump grinding removes what's left after a tree comes down, reclaiming your yard and eliminating a tripping hazard. Tree trimming and pruning keeps your oaks, maples, and crape myrtles healthy, improves their shape, and reduces risk. We also offer hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing for development or renovation projects, and arborist consultation when you need expert advice on tree health, preservation, or removal decisions.
Many cities and counties in the Richmond area require permits before removing trees above a certain size, especially if the tree is on a protected species list or designated as a heritage tree. Richmond and several surrounding municipalities have ordinances that protect large oaks and other specimen trees. Additionally, if you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association, you may need approval before removing a visible tree. Property line rules also matter: if your neighbor's tree is hanging over your property, you have the right to trim branches back to the property line, but removal typically requires their consent or a court order.
Richmond Tree Service can advise you on the permit and approval process for your specific situation. Before you schedule a removal, contact your local building department or ask us when you request a free estimate. We'll help ensure your tree work complies with all local regulations and moves forward smoothly.
