Tree removal in Charlottesville, Virginia, is an important and sometimes necessary part of maintaining the health and safety around your property. Trees can become hazardous for a variety of reasons, including disease, storm damage, and old age. In these cases, it is important to remove the tree in a safe and responsible manner.
One of the first steps in tree removal is to assess the tree and determine if it is truly necessary to remove it. In some cases, a tree may be able to be saved through pruning or other forms of care. However, if the tree is dead or severely damaged, removal may be the only option.

We are happy to provide a free assessment to determine if your tree does need to be removed. We can then create a plan to safely take your tree down. As ISA certified arborists with decades of experience in the tree and horticulture industries, we have the knowledge and correct equipment to get the job done right.
The process of removing a tree typically begins with the arborist on site carefully cutting away branches to reduce the weight of the tree, making it easier to control its descent. At Cox’s tree service we have our own crane and NCCCO certified crane operators to assist in complicated removals when necessary.
We specialize in large, hazardous tree removal. Using our 50-ton all terrain crane means we can remove your trees in less time with minimal damage to your yard. The crane enables us to be your go-to large and hazardous tree removal company. This removal method is safer for your property as well as for our employees.
We have ISA certified climbers on staff, as well as a 101 foot spider lift and 75 foot bucket truck. Large or small, we can remove them all. With so many options at our disposal we will be able to figure out the safest, most efficient way to complete your project.
Once your tree is down we can chip the brush, haul the wood and grind the stump. Sometimes our customers choose to keep the wood from their trees. In this case we can use our wheel loader to move wood to a specific location on your property.
How to choose the right tree company
There are several things to check on when choosing a professional tree company.
- Licensed to operate in their locality
- Liability Insurance
- Workers Compensation Insurance
- Experienced ISA Certified Arborists
- Check online reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp, etc.
When interviewing local tree companies for your project, be sure they can provide proof of all the correct insurances. This should be done directly by their insurance agent; handing the client a printed piece of paper is not a valid method since the policy may have expired or not been paid. Professional tree companies are happy to have their agent send over a Certificate of Insurance which is an up-to-date document detailing the various coverages the company maintains.
It is also a good idea to make sure the company you hire values safety. We have a safety program in place and hold weekly safety meetings and pre-work job site assessments. We perform regular equipment maintenance and certifications and follow all OSHA and ANSI Z133 tree care industry safety standards.
Pricing for tree removal
There are many different factors that affect the price of tree removal, including the overall scope of the project, size of the tree or trees, the equipment and personnel required, site accessibility and so much more. Since we have such a wide variety of equipment with which to work, we can always figure out a safe and efficient way to perform your removal.
We are often able to offer more competitive pricing on complex jobs as a result of having the right equipment from which to choose. Most companies have only a bucket truck or climber. We have these options and so many more.
The equipment listed above, along with our “whole tree chipper” that is able to chip trunks and branches up to 21″, gives us a distinct competitive advantage.
