Professional Tree Maintenance in Virginia Beach, VA

All trees need some sort of maintenance from time to time, such as the removal of dead or decayed branches, weight reduction, or the thinning of interior growth to allow wind to pass freely through the canopy. If you want your trees to live to their full potential, trust their health to Poor Folks Tree Service, Inc. We’ve offered professional tree care in Virginia Beach, VA, since 1993.

First and foremost is the use of proper equipment and technique when it comes to tree care. Simply hacking off limbs improperly will leave unsightly wounds that cannot heal properly. Improper cuts to its branches and limbs also expose the tree to rot and decay. The removal of more than 20% of the canopy at one time distresses the tree and causes excessive sucker growth.

Prioritizing Your Trees' Health

Photosynthesis is integral to the life of your trees. A tree that is completely topped out will inevitably become distressed. Usually, the tree will sucker out as it tries to produce foliage rapidly to survive. This is not a sign of its health. Young trees will usually survive this situation but older trees will have less vigor and probably die if they are radically pruned or topped. We only recommend topping in very rare circumstances.

All tree pruning procedures performed by Poor Folks Tree Service are done spikeless or with the use of a bucket truck. For a FREE estimate, call (757) 363-2662. For over 30 years, Poor Folks Tree Service has offered the fastest, safest and most reliable tree services in the Virginia Beach area.
