Residential Lot Clearing and Land Preparation
Planning a new project for your home in the Richmond area? We can help with that. We remove trees and brush to create a canvas for homeowners to create their ideal outdoor space. Our skilled climbers and timber fallers can clear smaller lots with less risk to nearby buildings than a traditional excavator.
Cabling and Bracing for Structural Support
If you have trees in need of structural support, our cabling and bracing services can extend their life while reducing risk. This service is especially valuable for mature trees in Richmond’s historic neighborhoods, preserving their character while helping to mitigate risk of failure. This installed hardware provides added support to trees to help them move more naturally in the wind and weather as well as reducing strain at larger attachment points in the crown of the tree.

Truetimber brings certified arborist expertise to Richmond’s urban forest. We’re ISA Certified Arborists serving the greater Richmond area since 1998, handling tree removal, pruning, health care, and emergency services with precision and preservation in mind. Call 804-218-8733 for a free estimate.
Richmond’s canopy is under pressure. Urban growth, construction, summer storms, and clay soil create challenges that demand certified expertise. Trees suffer from root compaction, improper pruning, pest damage, and storm injury. An arborist diagnoses these issues and prescribes treatment that saves trees rather than removes them.
Not every tree service company employs arborists. An ISA Certified Arborist brings formal training in tree biology, soil science, and pruning standards. Truetimber’s arborists follow ISA guidelines for every project, which protects your property and preserves the tree when possible.
Proper pruning improves structure, removes deadwood, and prevents future failures. We follow ISA pruning standards to maintain tree health and appearance. Whether your oak needs structural work or your dogwood needs thinning, our certified arborists make cuts that count. Learn more about our tree pruning services.
Sometimes removal is the safest choice. We handle hazardous trees, dead timber, construction clearance, and storm-damaged trees. Our arborists assess risk, plan the cut sequence, and remove stumps. We work in tight spaces and preserve surrounding landscaping. See our full tree removal process.
Soil amendments, deep-root fertilization, and pest management keep Richmond’s trees strong. Our arborists diagnose nutrient deficiency, insect pressure, and disease. We treat with precision: fungicides for fungal issues, targeted fertilization for soil deficiency, insect control when needed. Long-term health beats quick fixes.
Storms happen. When a tree falls, splits, or threatens your home, Truetimber responds. We stabilize dangerous trees, remove debris, and prevent property damage. Our emergency crew works 24/7 to protect Richmond families.
Stumps left behind invite insects and disease. We grind stumps below grade, leaving you with a clean yard and room for new plantings. Grinding is faster and safer than chemical stump removal.
Split or weak stems threaten trees. Cabling reinforces structure and prevents failure without removal. Our arborists use modern cable systems and install them to ISA standards.
Truetimber serves Richmond and surrounding communities. Whether you’re in the city or suburbs, our certified arborists handle your project.

We’ve served Richmond’s trees since 1998. That experience shows in our work. We know Richmond’s soil, climate, and common tree problems. We return to properties for follow-up care rather than moving to the next job.

We respect your property. We use proper rigging, fence protection, and cleanup. No shortcuts that leave your yard torn up.
A tree service removes trees. An arborist understands tree biology and diagnoses problems. Arborists can prune correctly, treat disease, assess risk, and recommend solutions short of removal. Many tree services employ no arborists. Truetimber’s team is arborist-led, which means your diagnosis is expert-level.
Cost depends on tree size, work complexity, and access. We offer free estimates so you know the price before we start. Call 804-218-8733or contact us to schedule.
If the tree is over 20 feet tall, near power lines, or has dead limbs hanging over your house, hire a professional. Professional equipment, training, and insurance protect you. DIY tree work is the leading cause of emergency room visits among homeowners.
Maybe. Arborists diagnose the issue first. Some damage is repairable with pruning or support cabling. Some diseases respond to treatment. Others mean removal is necessary. We’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.
Most healthy trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years. Young trees need structural pruning to develop good form. Mature oaks and maples need crown thinning to reduce wind resistance. We can assess your trees and recommend a schedule.
