DeForest Tree Service, a Virginia Beach-based arborist company, has expanded its slate of professional tree care offerings to include enhanced structural support solutions such as tree cabling and bracing, giving residential and commercial property owners additional tools for preserving mature and at-risk trees.
The expanded services build on the company's established work in tree removal, stump removal, and trimming. Structural support methods, including cabling and bracing, are designed to reinforce weak limbs and split trunks, helping trees remain standing when they might otherwise pose a hazard. The addition reflects a growing regional interest in retaining established trees rather than removing them, particularly in coastal areas where storms place recurring stress on tree canopies.
Alongside the structural support work, the company continues to offer a comprehensive tree risk assessment for property owners who want a clear understanding of the condition of the trees on their land. The assessment evaluates factors such as trunk stability, root health, and limb integrity, allowing owners to make informed decisions about whether a tree should be preserved, reinforced, or removed.
Brandon DeForest, owner of DeForest Tree Service, said the expansion responds to the questions arborists hear most often from local property owners.
"Many people assume a damaged or leaning tree has to come down, but that is not always the case," DeForest said. "With proper support methods and a thorough evaluation, a significant number of trees can be safely preserved. The goal is to give property owners accurate information and practical options rather than a single solution."
The company has built a five-star reputation across its service area, with clients citing professionalism, efficiency, and competitive pricing. One review from a Hampton Roads realtor described how the crew safely removed six large trees from her property at a lower cost than competing services, adding that she recommends the company to her own clients.
The company also maintains its ongoing tree pruning service, which supports the long-term health, appearance, and safety of trees across all seasons. Pruning remains one of the most requested services among homeowners seeking to reduce storm-related risk before the arrival of severe weather.
DeForest noted that the company approaches every project with an emphasis on safety and long-term outcomes.
"Safety guides every decision on a job site, whether the work involves a full removal or careful reinforcement," DeForest said. "Trees are long-term investments in a property, and they deserve the same level of care and attention as any other part of it."
DeForest Tree Service operates on a 24-hour basis and provides storm clean-up, emergency tree services, crane-assisted removal, and bucket truck services in addition to its core offerings. The company is licensed and insured and serves both residential and commercial clients throughout the Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads region.
Founded to meet the arborist needs of coastal Virginia property owners, DeForest Tree Service combines modern equipment with experienced crews to deliver tree care ranging from routine maintenance to complex removals.
