Professional Tree Removal You Can Trust

Whether you have a hazardous tree threatening your home, a dead tree that's become an eyesore, or you simply need to clear space for a new project, Myers Tree Service provides safe, efficient tree removal throughout Bedford County and Central Virginia.

Tree removal is dangerous work that requires specialized equipment, training, and experience. Our crews have years of experience removing trees of all sizes, in all conditions, and in all locations - from open yards to tight spaces between structures.

When to Remove a Tree

Not every tree problem requires removal. Sometimes trimming or treatment can save a tree. However, removal is typically the best option when:

  • The tree is dead or dying with no chance of recovery
  • The tree poses a safety hazard to people or structures
  • The tree is severely damaged by storms or disease
  • Roots are damaging foundations, driveways, or utilities
  • The tree is overcrowding other desirable trees
  • You're clearing land for construction or landscaping
  • The tree has become a liability concern

Our Tree Removal Process

  1. Assessment: We evaluate the tree's size, condition, location, and any obstacles or hazards. This determines the safest removal method.
  2. Planning: We develop a removal plan that protects your property, landscaping, and utilities. For trees near structures, this may involve sectional removal with ropes and rigging.
  3. Preparation: We clear the work area, set up safety zones, and position equipment. If needed, we coordinate with utility companies.
  4. Removal: The tree is brought down safely, either as a whole (in open areas) or in sections (near structures). Our crews communicate constantly during this process.
  5. Cleanup: We remove all branches and debris. The trunk is cut into manageable sections for removal or left as firewood if you prefer.

Types of Tree Removal We Handle

Hazardous Tree Removal

Trees leaning toward structures, with compromised root systems, or showing signs of imminent failure require immediate professional attention.

Dead Tree Removal

Dead trees become increasingly dangerous over time as wood decays. They can fall without warning and often harbor pests that can spread to healthy trees.

Storm-Damaged Trees

Trees with broken limbs, split trunks, or root damage from storms often cannot be saved. We provide both emergency removal and scheduled removal for storm-damaged trees.

Trees Near Structures

Removing trees close to homes, garages, fences, or power lines requires precision techniques. We use ropes, rigging, and sometimes cranes to safely lower sections.

Large Tree Removal

Very large trees require special equipment and techniques. Our crews are experienced with oaks, maples, poplars, and other large species common to Central Virginia.

A Word About Safety

Tree removal consistently ranks among the most dangerous occupations in America. Every year, people are killed or seriously injured attempting to remove trees themselves or hiring unqualified workers.

We are fully insured with both liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our crews follow strict safety protocols, use professional equipment, and have the training and experience to handle any situation. When you hire Myers Tree Service, you're protecting yourself, your property, and the people doing the work.
