Fairfax County, Virginia, one of the largest and most beautiful counties in the country, is at the center of Pro Arbor’s service area. Because we do so much of our work in Fairfax County, Pro Arbor is able to offer the most competitive rates on tree removal. Our crews are well accustomed to navigating through the area, so they are able to stay on schedule with their service stops.

Fairfax is one of the counties that is under quarantine because of the Emerald Ash borer. Because of this, tree services are prohibited from hauling debris out of Northern Virginia. We recycle all of our debris in Northern Virginia, which means that we are able to pass this cost saving on to our Fairfax clients.

Removing a tree can be a touchy situation, especially in Fairfax County, Virginia. When it becomes necessary to remove a tree, you should be certain that you are working with certified tree care professionals.

There are hundreds of amateur tree cutting services that solicit their services door-to-door all over Fairfax County. For every ten discount price success stories with these providers, there is a horror story of massive property damage or breached contract.

When you consider the cost if something goes wrong, hiring a professional makes more economic sense. Tree disasters are expensive. Unfortunately, many of them occur in the hands of self-proclaimed experts.

Always check the credentials of the arborist performing your tree work.

In Fairfax City and the surrounding boroughs, there are many mature – in some cases, heritage and heirloom – trees growing in close proximity to overhead utility lines. The trees provide something for the properties in the area that cannot be replaced. They have been standing for decades (and in some cases, centuries) and have grown to a stature that is seen only in places with the historic character of Fairfax, Vienna, Arlington, and Alexandria. Because they encroach the aerial utility lines that serve the community, they must be pruned to maintain a safe clearance from the lines. Unfortunately this is not always done in a way that considers the future health of these irreplaceable trees. Utility providers are most concerned with the safety and accessibility of their lines, and so they cut back trees from the lines with this in mind. Aesthetically, this is not usually the best solution for the tree canopy. But worse yet, it can lead to problems in the trees that shorten their lives.

Concerned homeowners and community associations have enlisted the help of the arborists at Pro Arbor to proactively deal with the issue of utility line encroachment. Using proper pruning techniques, arborists can clear branches away from utility lines in ways that are minimally detrimental to mature trees. If the right cuts are made, a tree can be trained to grow in a way that makes way for the lines to pass safely through the canopy with a limited amount of water sprout grow-back. This reduces the amount of repeated trimming that must occur, thus improving the overall health of these valuable trees.

Call Pro Arbor and consult with an arborist to find the best way to preserve the historic trees on your property and throughout your neighborhood.
