Why You Might Need Emergency Tree Removal Services

You might need a professional to remove a tree from your property for the following reasons.

• Storm damage: In recent years, our region has seen more than its fair share of extreme weather. From heavy snow to prolonged periods of driving rain and wind, storms are a primary cause of damaged and fallen trees. When you have weather-damaged trees and require professional assistance, Richard’s Tree Service is the reliable source for fallen tree services or other emergency tree response in Northern Virginia and the surrounding areas.
• Preventive tree branch removal: Following an extreme weather event, property owners often face difficult and potentially dangerous conditions. Whether there's storm damage to trees or fallen branches and limbs, there's usually more involved than raking up leaves and clearing minor debris. If a storm has damaged your trees or they've weakened from old age, you can work with a company experienced in emergency tree services to prevent them from damaging your property.
• Diseases: Trees are also sensitive to disease and decay from local parasites, fungi and bacteria. You might notice a tree in your residential or commercial yard has damage from these harmful organisms. In that case, you'll want to call a professional right away to prevent illness from spreading throughout your whole property.
• Pests: The trees throughout your residential and commercial property can provide food and shelter to unwanted pests and insects. It's safe to have some insects in your property's ecosystem, but if their population gets too big, they can travel to other trees or even inside your property and cause severe damage. Work with a professional arborist to prevent pests from getting unruly.

Why Choose a Professional Tree Service?

After a powerful storm blows through, the danger often remains in the form of partially fallen trees, dangling branches and blocked roads and access points. Attempting to clean up on your own can be a tricky proposition because it takes a lot of time and requires specific equipment and expertise. Doing the cleanup yourself is even more challenging when working with large trees that have made contact with a physical structure or power lines and pose a considerable hazard.

Contracting someone to handle storm emergency tree services provides a faster, more cost-effective way to return to normalcy by:

• Removing damaged and downed trees from your property
• Identifying potentially dangerous branches and limbs
• Completing tree cleanup services, including stump removal and grinding
• Eliminating dangers relating to working in and around damaged trees

Expert Knowledge With Experience

We are proud of our knowledge, experience and history in performing our emergency tree services. In September 1995, the owners of Richard’s Tree Service responded to Hurricane Fran in North Carolina that left a wake of destruction in its path. Fallen and uprooted trees had a devastating effect. Our team was there in 24 hours working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, insurance companies and property managers in the cleanup effort.

When Hurricane Isabelle struck Virginia in September 2003, we immediately mobilized and used our wealth of experience working with our customers to ensure their safety and preserve their property. We have worked in many other states besides ours after tornadoes, wind damage and ice storms. Whether the damage is large or small, when it’s your home and your family, you want it taken care of the right way by the right people.

Don’t make the mistake of using an unlicensed, underequipped or inexperienced person or company. Investing in their services can undoubtedly make a bad situation worse. Often, they are not adequately insured or bonded. If they are from out of town, they may not have the proper insurance in Virginia, D.C. or Maryland. It’s not worth taking the chance. If the price sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
