If you’re a Virginia homeowner, you’re familiar with the maintenance requirements of the outside world. From summer storms that roll in from the coast, to wet growing seasons, and the occasional severe winter, numerous stresses expose trees throughout the state each year. The health of trees is a problem that escalates rapidly to large and costly issues when the property owner doesn’t pay attention.
That is why the services of professional tree service in Virginia are so important in ensuring the safety, cleanliness, and beauty of homes and neighborhoods. Trees are a significant asset to a home. They offer shade, purify the air and will give your yard the same natural curb appeal as no other landscaping can. However, people also know that trees have overhanging limbs which can damage roofs, limbs that are weak and will break in high winds, and stumps that attract insects and pests and create trip hazards.
True Gen Tree Service LLC takes care of it all. The company is located in Virginia Beach, and provides homeowners with superior, reliable and affordable tree care services throughout the Hampton Roads region. From removing a dead tree from a hard to reach location to pruning overgrown limbs from a roof line to clearing an old stump out of the way, True Gen has the right equipment, training and attitude for every job.
Complete Tree Care Services We Provide
True Gen Tree Service offers a variety of solutions to help meet the needs of residential properties in Virginia. The company not only focuses on a single aspect of the work but also handles it from start to finish so that the homeowner doesn’t have to call a number of contractors to deal with the upkeep of their yard.
Let’s take a quick look at the key services that True Gen Tree Service offers homeowners in the Virginia region:
Tree Removal Done Right
Trees that are dead or damaged can be a fire hazard to any building. During a storm a heavy limb falling on a roof can cost $1,000 or more in repairs. A tree leaning against a house and rooted near the foundation can compromise a home’s structure. These issues should not be ignored or left for homeowners to solve themselves.
True Gen Tree Service provides tree removal services throughout the Virginia region that are focused on safety, accuracy, and cleanliness. Before cutting a single tree, the team evaluates the tree to determine the most effective way to safely lower the tree without harming adjacent property. They employ top of the range equipment and techniques to ensure precise landing, and the landing site.
More than just chopping down a tree involves tree removal. The team must be able to control the drop path, preserve the surrounding landscape, be careful with large pieces of wood, and remove all the debris from the property. True Gen Tree Service does all this with care and efficiency, and can do it in a fraction of the time that it takes an untrained homeowner to try to do it.
The company also offers services for emergency tree removal, when time cannot be wasted. If a tree has fallen on a fence, a roof or has blocked a driveway, True Gen Tree Service gets to work immediately to solve the problem and make the property safe.
Tree Trimming That Will Not Damage Your Yard
One of the most vital routine maintenance jobs that any Virginia homeowner can invest in is tree trimming. Most people do not realize the damage that overgrown branches can cause. They prevent sunlight from reaching the grass below, rub against rooflines and gutters, and cause a problem when the wind blows and are heavy when the storm comes. Regular trimming can avoid all these problems.
True Gen Tree Service is a tree trimming specialist in Portsmouth, Hampton and the surrounding Virginia communities. The team is equipped to cut trees of all sizes, and they all have the proper tools for the job, and the branch with a trained eye. But they are not just lopping branches when they look long, they are letting the tree’s health, shape and safety profile benefit from the right branch removal.
The True Gen crew conducts a site visit and checks the trees that require trimming when they come to your site. They determine which limbs need removal, where the limbs are too dense to allow light to reach, and if branches hang too close to buildings or power lines. This rapid assessment establishes the course of the work to do.
The crew can then use the professional tools. They carefully remove the overgrowth in order to make clean cuts, which heal quicker and stress the tree less. Once they finish trimming, they remove all of the branches and debris from the yard and don’t leave any for the homeowner to deal with. This leaves a neat, open, and manicured yard.
Tree pruning for strength and growth
Tree pruning and tree trimming are similar but have different functions. Trimming is mainly about size and looks. Pruning is more involved, for example removing problematic branches to promote good tree form, stimulate new growth and to prevent future issues.
Tree pruning is available in Virginia Beach, Norfolk and the surrounding area with a focus on the long-term health of trees by True Gen Tree Service. Trees can strengthen, extend in life and improve in appearance through proper pruning, but unpruned trees will not provide these advantages. This difference is evident in the canopy structure and density following a professional pruning visit.
Early structural pruning has the greatest benefit on young trees. If someone does not prune a sapling, it may produce several competing branches and these branches will tend to compete for dominance. This results in weak branch unions which can fail when the heavy leaves fall or during stormy weather. Structural pruning during early life of trees forms a single dominant leader and eliminates the suppression of branches before they set in the trunk.
Stump Grinding to get a clean, safe yard
Once the tree is down, it leaves a stump to cause more issues than most homeowners anticipate. Old stumps are in the center of lawns and gardens, making them hard to mow and dangerous for kids and pets. They attract the wood boring insects such as termites and carpenter ants, which may eventually penetrate neighbouring buildings. They are also just an eyesore and they lower the value of the home.
True Gen Tree Service offers professional stump grinding services all around Norfolk and the surrounding communities in Virginia. The team has a number of industrial grade stump grinders, which grind stumps below ground level and end up with a non-objectionable surface area that the homeowner can plant over/sod or take advantage of for new project landscaping.
Many stumps have large surface roots spread out over the lawn, creating other dangers and obstructions. Workers perform root flare grinding to deal with these spreading roots, which they grind down from the surface, making the whole area available once again. Proper stump grinding and root flare grinding are great for homeowners seeking a fresh sod installation, a new garden bed or a flat mowable lawn.
Tree Cutting and Shaping for Curb Appeal
In addition to basic pruning and maintenance, many Virginia homeowners want to shape their trees and shrubs to blend in with their home landscape and for a more enjoyable outdoor experience. Tree cutting and shaping isn’t just about the trimming; it involves creating a tree into a designed shape that enhances the surrounding landscape and reflects the homeowner’s vision for their yard.
True Gen Tree Service offers tree trimming and shaping services in Portsmouth and the entire Virginia region. The crew possesses both the ability and the sensitivity to fell trees safely and to form them in shapes which are natural, balanced and pleasing to the eye. From a homeowner who wants to remove branches to create a vista to shrubs that need trimming to clean lines to an overgrown tree that deserves some attention, True Gen takes care and is precise.

Spring Tree Care
Most Virginia trees are active growers in the spring. This is one of the best times to prune, because wounds heal rapidly in trees during the growing season.

Spring is a busy time for tree pruning and trimming, and True Gen Tree Service can handle the job with efficiency, ensuring that your trees are in shape, healthy and ready for the summer.
Summer Tree Care
It’s hot, humid and the height of hurricane season in Virginia in the summer. Trees which enter summer in good condition perform much better with the heat and wind than those trees with structural weakness or over developed canopy. During the summer months, before a major storm comes along, True Gen Tree Service will do tree pruning and crown thinning to make the trees less resistant to the wind in a dense canopy.
Fall Tree Care
Fall is a great time to evaluate trees and perform maintenance. The shape of each tree is revealed when they are bare, which it’s not when they’re in summer. Fall visits by True Gen are used to detect structural problems, defoliate trees (remove dead wood) and prune trees during dormancy. Fall activities can prepare trees for healthy growth in the following spring.
Winter Tree Care
Some people don’t realize that there are some good times for certain tree care tasks during the winter. Dormant trees tolerate pruning well in cold weather and you won’t see a lot of fallen trees.
