I live in the 10th and Page neighborhood and through the Releaf program received a free tree last year. Peggy arrived with staff and the planting was done by the youth interns. I was educated then about the present mature trees on site and pruning them was offered. This Arbor Day Van Yahres Tree Company Jake arrived with crew and two trees were pruned. It was amazing to see their skills, hear the humor and witness the teamwork. I’ve come to know and trust this organization as a vital thread in the fabric of our community. Living in an area where development has removed the tree canopy, I’m grateful to be a recipient of a way which enhances the future canopy. The services they provide continue to impact neighborhoods with tree planting and education. Much thanks for the wood chips, enrich your roots and prosper. Michele

I simply cannot say enough good things about the Van Yahres crew who just did remarkable work at my home. In about five hours they pruned, chipped, braced, re-shaped, and cleaned up beautifully. The crew was great – energetic, knowledgeable, focused, and friendly. Their work was just splendid in every respect. When I need more work in the future, I would request this same crew whose teamwork and efficiency coupled with the marvelous result of their efforts was just tops ~!! Absolutely First-Rate ~!!! M.

I rarely take the time to write a review however, a recent very favorable experience with the Van Yahres Tree Company has prompted me to write a few lines… We’ve used various tree companies for our property and recently asked Van Yahres to look at a 100 year old maple that was dropping large limbs. We were concerned we might need to take it down as it is near our house. Brian, the Van Yahres arborist, came out to do a free consult. Brian was very knowledgable and his recommendations were thorough and specific (and did not involve the more expensive felling but rather strategic limbing, root fertilization and ivy removal). I asked about cutting off one large limb that looked distressed – he said no – that would further weaken the tree, rather he advised lightening it up while keeping foliage that will continue to provide nourishment. At this point I called my husband out to listen as well… I asked Brian about another tree. Yes, it was showing some signs of internal decay but since it wasn’t near a structure, he didn’t see any need to have it addressed. In short, rather than advising us to do expensive work that was not needed, his advise was strategic and appropriate. Additionally, I found the office very organized. The contract was delivered promptly, billing was easy. I was also surprised Van Yahres could come out within a week. It’s a busy time with a lot of storms but they have good capacity. In short, it’s a very well-run office with a deep knowledge base. Having worked with other tree companies, I see why Van Yahres has such a strong reputation – the level of service is well beyond what I expected.

Van Yahres Tree Company performed tree work at my house and did a terrific job. They were professional and worked with me to identify what essential tree work I needed, and what services weren’t necessary. I will continue to use them for all my tree work needs!

Van Yahres has provided tree services for us twice since we moved to the Charlottesville area in 2021. I initially chose the company because it is family owned, and I am very happy with the results. Each time we need service, Bryan’s (arborist) expertise is invaluable. He takes the time to walk the four acre property and assess pruning and removal, but also educates us about the trees we have. The work performed is neat and professional, and the crew takes great care with safety measures. We periodically need ash treatments from Aaron, who is also a wealth of knowledge. Thank you, Van Yahres!

For years I have been trusting the good people at Van Yahres with any tree work that needed doing on my property. High praises to Jennifer in the office as well as all the guys that have come not only to do estimates but also to climb, trim and fell my giant trees. It’s no small thing to de-limb and drop a tree; there’s often no room for error — among professions, this is one of the most dangerous and difficult — yet they make it look easy. They are clear in their proposals, open to my input and requests, courteous, timely, thorough, and impressive in their skill. I heartily recommend them without hesitation.
