Chris and his team did a great job removing a large, storm-damaged tree from our property on short notice and at a reasonable price. The team was prompt, courteous and efficient, getting the job done in only two hours. They fully removed the tree and all fallen branches and cleaned up the area! We will recontact Green Vista with new work!
The Green Vista team was remarkably skilled and absolute proffessionals. Their equipment is state of the art and their crew was a well oiled machine. They left my property cleaner when they finished than when they arrived. If you need trees removed, this company should be your first choice. Worth every penny.

We recently hired Green Vista Tree Care to remove a dead Ash tree in our yard. They also pruned some of our oak trees on our property as well as some of our neighbors trees hanging over our property. Everything was completed on time and with perfection. Wiley completed our consultation and was very friendly and knowledgeable. We will be a returning customer if we need tree service in the future!

TREE REMOVAL
Tree removal is incredibly dangerous, particularly in the tight spaces common to the area around Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax county in northern Virginia. One wrong move and the tree will come crashing through your roof, flatten a car, or hurt someone. Please leave this to the pros!
We not only handle standard removals, but we also specialize in fallen tree removal- whether it's due to storms, wind damage, or other emergencies. Our crews have the equipment and specialized training to assess a tree for potential hazards, determine the best way to remove the tree safely and efficiently, and then ensure that the job gets done correctly.

You can, but we wouldn’t recommend it! If a previous tree was removed because of a pest or disease, it may spread to a new tree planted in the same spot. The roots from the removed tree can make it hard for a new tree to grow, as space, oxygen, and water are limited. There tends to be more nitrogen in the soil around the roots of a removed tree, which can harm a new tree planted in the same spot. The area close to where a tree used to be will probably have fewer nutrients available in the soil, as the tree would have used those nutrients to grow. If you had your stump ground, many of the roots will still be intact and the woodchips and sawdust can add additional nitrogen to the soil, making it difficult for a new tree to grow.
Yes, as long as it is planted a distance away. We recommend at least 6 to 8 feet, but keep in mind that a tree’s roots are often as wide (or wider) as a tree is tall.
No. While we recommend the use of wood chips (from tree branches and limbs) as mulch placed around the tree after it is planted, adding the sawdust from the stump grinding to the planting hole could change the nutrient level of the soil, adding more nitrogen and causing issues.
In some cases, such as when a tree is uprooted during a storm or high winds, the roots are removed along with the tree. While that makes the planting area slightly more hospitable for a new tree, the soil will still be depleted of nutrients. Plus, whatever caused the previous tree to uproot (such as root rot due to poor drainage) might impact a newly planted tree as well.
If pests and diseases made the previous tree weaker and more likely to fall, they will likely infect a new tree planted in the same spot. Overall, we don’t recommend planting in the same spot as a previous tree.
If there is no other option, know that your newly-planted tree will have to overcome some obstacles and will need specific and additional care to survive. Some of the things to keep in mind include:
