Services
We help home owners, landlords, and builders to create and maintain beautiful, healthy landscapes by providing plant health care and tree services. We are fully licensed and insured to handle all types of tree removal. We can safely remove large trees that are close to your home or other structures without fear of damage.
An arborist, sometimes called a tree surgeon, is a professional with knowledge and training in arboriculture, the cultivation, management, and study of trees, shrubs, vines and other woody perennial plants. Arborists focus on health and safety of individual species rather than forests or wood harvesting.
We are fully licensed and insured to handle all types of tree removal. We can safely remove large trees that are close to your home or other structures without fear of damage. We specialize in handling the tough tree removal jobs that other companies do not have the equipment or training to handle safely.
Many times when a tree is removed an unsightly stump is left behind. Tree stumps are very hard to remove without the proper tools and equipment. Home owners that try to remove a tree stump on their own often find out that it is next to impossible. Many try to burn the stump out, but because most of it is underground in an oxygen-deprived environment, the fire will not burn it.
The objective of Plant Health Care (PHC) programs is to maintain or improve the landscape's appearance, vitality, and - in the case of trees - safety, using the most cost-effective and environmentally sensitive practices and treatments available. PHC involves routine monitoring, preventive treatment, and a strong working relationship between the arborist and the property owner.

We had a younger Maple growing out front so I called these gentlemen to have it removed. They took the tree down in less than 10 minutes. I was dumb founded watching. And the stump grinding was insane. They used this remote controlled machine and it was so fast. They were in and out in about 20 minutes tops. 10/10 Definitely would recommend. Great job fellas.

This company was not clear when they gave us a quote to remove a tree. I specified a gum tree to be removed. I was unaware that two other trunks, covered in ivy, growing from the same base was a different tree and the arborist did not point this out. They were also not clear when they came to do the job. They were one hour late to their expected arrival. Upon starting work, they told me they couldn't grind the stump because the roots were intertwined with a cherry tree. I told them I was unaware we had a cherry tree, but ok. When they came to tell us they were done, we inquired why they had

I had a large oak tree removed by Mike's Tree Service this morning. From our first email Cat has been incredibly fast with responding and providing great detailed information. The removal was scheduled very quickly. The team arrived just as scheduled and did the work very quickly, cleanly, and safely. It was a pleasure talking with them and the work could not have gone any smoother.
If you need a tree taken down, get in touch with Mike's Tree Service. They are fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough.

Left them a message to get an estimate. Got a text saying that they are "past their maximum capacity... Have a wonderful day...". I may have been ok w waiting till September or October. But they'll never know...
Let me help you guys out. A much better response would have been. "I'm sorry but we are booked out till____. If you'd like, we can get your info and let you know if something becomes available or we can put you in the books for Christmas(or whenever you actually have availability)...". That way customers don't feel like you're blowing

Mike destroyed my house! Over $50,000 damage by his negligence!
We hired Mikes tree service to remove a tree from the back yard. He bid it at a reasonable rate but instead of going around the back gate he used a crane that he had just purchased. While attempting to lift the tree over the house he flipped the crane into the house. Even though the occupants asked if they should leave the house Mike said no. The crane went through the upstairs bathroom while a 12 year old girl was brushing her teeth. Thank God she was not injured physically. Emotionally is a different story.

I would highly recommend Mike's Tree Service to anyone and everyone. They were so wonderful to work with. Everything from getting an estimate to the removal of the tree itself was great. The crew that showed up to the house was professional, kind, clean, fast... the list goes on and on. Customer service was top notch. Will absolutely call if we ever need work done again!

Outstanding service once again! With the need to have four medium-sized trees taken down in our backyard, we again called Mike's Tree Service which we had used two years ago take down 17 sweetgums and one oak tree. Superb, professional service throughout...from the timely (and very reasonable estimate) to the tree removal and stump grinding. The crew of five who took down the trees worked great as a team, were very attentive to prevent any damage to the newly installed fence and meticulously cleaned up our yard and that of our neighbor. They also provided me some very useful advice about proper

I needed a walnut tree trimmed by our house and tried other tree services I had used in the past. They wanted far more than I was willing to pay. Mike came out and gave me an estimate to remove 6 limbs that was right in the price range I thought proper. On the day they came out they were quick and efficient. The gents on the crew were extremely nice and professional. They finished up in under an hour, including removal of all the limbs and assorted sticks and such. I think they even removed some branches from another tree that I had trimmed, but hadn't gotten around to dragging to the curb

Mike’s Tree Service was punctual, easy to communicate with, and extremely professional.
Despite a rain delay, they completed the job MUCH quicker than I expected.
With such competitive prices, I will not use another service for clearance branch trimming.
I highly recommend Mike’s Tree Service to anyone seeking limb removal. It was a pleasure to work with this company. I look forward to working with them again.

The Cape Henry Lighthouse highly recommends Mike's Tree Service, Inc.! Mike and his crew are the best in Virginia Beach! They are the most professional and pleasant company we had the opportunity of working with to have trees cut on our historic dune. Scheduling a visit for an estimate was a breeze, and they went above and beyond compared to the other four companies who gave us estimates. They were able and willing to complete the job we needed in our short time crunch. The work was completed quickly and efficiently. They even cleaned up and asked if everything was satisfactory. We are ecstatic

Very professional! Great customer service!
Had 2 trees removed in my yard several months ago. The quote was very reasonable, and there were no scheduling issues.
Unfortunately, after the work was completed I found my garden hose bib damaged due to a tree limb that had accidentally fallen on it during the job.
Mike and Cat were extremely professional and completely fixed the hose bib immediately, in addition to promptly reimbursing me for ALL costs associated, and added an additional discount for my troubles! A small issue that could have caused a headache was completely avoided due to Mike

I recently bid Mike's Tree Service among 3 services for the removal of 10 trees and stump grinding. Mike's had the best price. The gave me an easy to read contract, supplied the insurance certificate immediately upon request, and ordered Miss Utilities in a timely manner. The crew (with Mike leading) arrived on time, performed the work exactly as contracted, did a great job cleaning up and were polite and very efficient. I could not imagine how I could have had a better experience! Great Work Mike & Crew!
