Aztec Tree Service - 434-365-0853

I'd like to recommend Humberto Torres of Aztec Tree Service (434-944-5009, 434-365-0853, Jrmchc@gmail.com). Humberto arrives promptly, works hard and carefully, has a great manner, and cleans up after the project thoroughly. I compared prices and his fee is very reasonable. This is the second time I've asked him to take down a tree (another casualty of the Ash Borer) - this one was very large and in a tricky position between our house and our neighbor's. Once the tree was safely down, he cut it all up into logs I can split myself and took the difficult and/or rotten sections away. If a tree needs to come down, Humberto is your guy.

I had a cord of excellent hardwood delivered and beautifully stacked by Umberto with Aztec Tree Service (434-365-0853). I needed the logs cut to 16” for my woodstove. Because of my need for short logs, he was recommended by Tosey Sparrow. The price was $300 plus $40 for stacking. I gave Umberto a nice tip because he was so courteous and proficient at stacking wood. Submitted by Charles Murphy. September 2025

To maintain and spruce up your property, I highly recommend Clark's Tree and Land Management (540-241-3153). The owner, Jonah Clark, used to be a member of a large and well-known company. He has started his own business specializing in offering tree maintenance/removal, shrub trimming/pruning, and removal at a reasonable cost. He works closely with the property owner to develop and maintain the property in accordance with the owner's desires. He will offer suggestions and recommendations if requested and leave the property clean and looking great. Jonah and his helper did a great job on our property last week; we will definitely have them back in later fall before winter arrives. Jonah will provide a free estimate for the work you want done.

Zen Tree Service - 434-260-0959, 434-260-3865

Vince and his team at Zen Tree Services (434-260-3865, vince@zentreeservices.com) are amazing, responsive, reasonably priced, timely, and left all the sites in a better condition than they were before. They removed three trees that were dying and posed a risk to nearby structures, pruned three others next to our house, and chipped everything for mulch. One tree removal was particularly complex, requiring rigging to take down the tree section by section to prevent damage to the shed and nearby trees. We would absolutely use him again.

We have just had Zen Tree Service perform significant tree pruning of our 100+-year-old white and red oak trees in Stoney Creek. Vince and the team were prompt and professional. They don't use bucket trucks but rather climb the trees to do the trimming, protecting the roots and adjacent areas. Zen was affordable and the expertise was evident from the first conversation. We highly recommend their services. Zen Tree Services: 434-260-0959 or vince@zentreeservices.com. Submitted by Rob and Tiffany Keaton. December 2023
