Emergency tree removal services are available 24/7 for fallen trees, storm damage, or hazardous limbs. When a weak limb fails in a Reston storm, we respond quickly, faster than anyone else, and a crew is usually on the way within 15 minutes. We remove threats safely and restore peace of mind. No delays, no guesswork, just expert care when it matters most.
Our tree removal experts handle hazardous, dead, or unwanted trees using safe techniques and the right equipment in accordance with ANSI z133 safety standards. When an ash is already dead from emerald ash borer, removal is the safe call. We professionally protect your property while ensuring fast and clean removal.
Tree pruning improves safety, encourages healthy growth, and enhances curb appeal. Our certified arborists remove deadwood, reduce risk, and shape your trees with precision using industry-approved methods for long-term health and structure. Structural pruning is part of a good plant health care plan for Reston’s older trees.
Our plant health care and tree cabling services provide structural support and promote tree health. We stabilize weak limbs, reduce risk, and apply expert techniques to preserve and extend the life of your valuable trees. Tree health assessments, soil and leaf testing with the most advanced local labs, and cabling and bracing help Reston’s aging oaks.
After tree removal, stump grinding reduces potential hazards and prepares your yard for new landscaping. If a Reston tree can’t be saved, a ground-out stump leaves room to replant. We grind stumps and clean up all debris so your outdoor space is clear, usable and free of eyesores.
Our land clearing services remove trees, brush, and debris to prepare your site for construction or landscaping. We clear lots safely and efficiently while minimizing impact to surrounding areas and maintaining environmental care. Clearing brush and overgrowth takes pressure off the trees you keep.
We provide complete tree service solutions including pruning, removal, stump grinding, and preventative care. Every job is handled with attention to safety, quality, and professionalism to protect your property and promote healthy growth, through every Reston season.

Plant Care & Cabling in Reston: What’s Hurting Trees
Reston Association’s 2024 environment report rates Reston’s forests only “fair.” The main threats it names:
- Emerald ash borer, which has “virtually eradicated” native ash in Reston.
- Oak decline in older chestnut, white and red oaks, tied partly to extreme weather.
- Insects like spongy moth, hemlock woolly adelgid and spotted lanternfly.
- Invasive plants that crowd out natives, and deer that browse young trees.
Our ISA Certified Arborists stabilize weak unions, co-dominant stems, and storm-stressed canopies using tree cabling and bracing systems that reduce failure risk and extend tree life. We provide targeted plant health care, including soil improvement, selective pruning, and hazard mitigation, plus annual inspections of installed crown support systems, here and across Fairfax, McLean, and Ashburn. We use specialized equipment and follow ANSI A300 standards to install cabling safely in large trees near homes and driveways, even in tight spaces.

Reston Association’s 2024 environment report rates Reston’s forests only “fair.” It blames invasive plants, too many deer and climate change, and it names insects like emerald ash borer, spongy moth, hemlock woolly adelgid and spotted lanternfly. Our complimentary visual assessment is a good first step to see what’s affecting your trees.
Sometimes, if it’s treated in time. RA says emerald ash borer has virtually eradicated native ash in Reston. Fairfax County says the borer is almost always fatal to ash without treatment, and infested trees typically die in about 3 years. We offer integrated pest management, and a dead ash can be hazardous, so have yours checked now.
RA reports that Reston is losing many older chestnut, white and red oaks, and extreme weather plays a role. In 2024, 20 dead mature oaks came out of the Hidden Creek golf course alone. Our full Tree Health Assessment, with a written report and lab tests when needed, shows what’s stressing your oak. It’s a paid service, quoted up front, and we work with the most advanced local labs.
Often, yes. Cabling and bracing support weak branch unions, multiple trunks and storm-damaged limbs, so a tree can stay standing. When installed correctly, the systems do not harm the tree. They provide structural support while allowing the tree to grow naturally. That fits Reston, where the Design Review Board “strongly encourages preservation of existing live trees.” Our ISA Certified Arborists can inspect your trees and recommend the right solution.
RA lists the spotted lanternfly as a potential threat to Reston’s forests, and it became established over most of Fairfax County in 2023. Its hosts include tree-of-heaven, maples and black walnut, so watch those trees in your yard. Our plant health care includes spotted lanternfly control.
Yes. We combine plant care, including fertilization, pruning, and soil improvement, with tree cabling for a complete approach to protecting and maintaining your landscape. We recommend annual inspections for all crown support systems to ensure safety, performance, and proper adjustment as the tree grows.
