DeForest Tree Service is a premier, family-owned tree care provider specializing in high-risk removals and advanced arboricultural solutions across South Hampton Roads. With a primary base in Virginia Beach and deep operational roots in Chesapeake, we have built a 4.9-star reputation for combining “surgical precision” with heavy-duty capability. Our team is led by Brandon DeForest, ensuring that every project—from routine pruning to complex technical extractions—is executed with the personal accountability and professional excellence that only a local, owner-operated firm can provide.
Specialized Crane-Assisted Tree Removal
We are the region's specialists in “inaccessible” tree removals. Utilizing specialized crane technology, we safely dismantle and extract massive hardwoods and high-risk pines that are leaning over residential structures or located in confined urban spaces. By lifting sections of the tree vertically rather than dropping them, we virtually eliminate the risk of property damage and ground compaction, protecting your home and landscape throughout the process.
24/7 Emergency Storm Response
When the unpredictable coastal weather hits Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, DeForest Tree Service is on the front lines. We provide rapid-response emergency services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our crews are experts in structural extraction—safely removing uprooted trees from roofs, power lines, and driveways to restore safety and prevent further property loss.
Complete Restoration: Now Offering In-House Stump Grinding
Unlike other companies that leave the job half-finished or rely on unreliable subcontractors, DeForest Tree Service provides a seamless, start-to-finish experience. We have expanded our fleet to include high-performance, in-house stump grinding equipment. This allows us to provide immediate surface restoration after every removal, grinding stumps deep below grade to ensure your yard is ready for replanting, sodding, or construction.
