Tree removal isn’t something most Virginia Beach homeowners think about—until it becomes urgent. Whether it’s a storm-damaged pine threatening your roof or an overgrown oak encroaching on your property line, knowing what to expect during the tree removal process can make everything go a lot smoother.
At Scott Lane’s Tree Service, we’ve been safely removing trees in Virginia Beach since 1987. With over 35 years of experience and a $1M insurance policy for your peace of mind, we believe in transparency, safety, and doing the job right the first time.
Step 1: On-Site Evaluation
Every tree is different. That’s why we always begin with a free, no-obligation on-site evaluation. Our team will assess:
- The tree’s condition and location
- Proximity to homes, fences, or power lines
- Equipment access
- Potential hazards (dead limbs, rot, lean)
This helps us determine the safest and most efficient removal strategy—whether it’s a simple fell or a complex crane-assisted takedown.
Step 2: Getting the Right Permits
In certain parts of Virginia Beach, tree removal may require permission—especially if the tree is near wetlands or protected zones. We’ll let you know if any city permits or HOA approvals are needed and help you through that process.
Step 3: Safe Tree Removal
On the scheduled day, we’ll arrive on time with the right equipment—bucket trucks, ropes, saws, and even cranes if necessary. Our crew:
- Secures the area to keep your property safe
- Cuts the tree down in sections if needed
- Lowers limbs and logs in a controlled manner
We’re fully insured and every team member is covered by workers’ compensation, so you can rest easy.
Step 4: Cleanup & Stump Grinding (Optional)
After the tree’s down, we can:
- Remove all debris
- Chip branches into mulch
- Cut logs for firewood or haul them away
- Grind the stump below ground level (if requested)
We leave your yard clean—often cleaner than we found it.
