Trees add so much to our landscapes here in Tidewater—shade, beauty, privacy, and value. They’re a defining feature of neighborhoods throughout Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and the greater Hampton Roads area. But as any homeowner knows, trees also come with responsibilities. That’s where Scott Lane’s Tree Service comes in.
With over 35 years in the tree care industry, we’ve seen firsthand what proper care (or lack of it) can mean for trees, properties, and even personal safety. Trees are living things, and they need specific care to stay healthy, withstand storms, and look their best. Here’s how we help homeowners protect both their trees and their properties.
Why Choose a Pro Instead of DIY Tree Care?
It’s tempting to tackle tree care yourself—until you’re up a ladder with a chainsaw or realize the “easy” job of trimming a few branches just turned into a half-day project. Working with trees can be unpredictable and sometimes dangerous. We hear these stories all the time: someone thought they’d just trim a branch, and suddenly they’re dealing with unexpected damage or even a hospital visit.
Our team at Scott Lane’s Tree Service has the training, equipment, and experience to handle tree care safely and effectively. We’re fully insured, licensed, and committed to doing things the right way. Here’s how we make a difference for our clients.
Services We Offer at Scott Lane’s Tree Service
1. Tree Removal
Sometimes, a tree simply has to come down. It might be too close to the house, or it might be diseased, dying, or a hazard after a storm. Removing a tree safely—especially a large one—is no small feat. We use the latest equipment, including cranes when needed, to carefully take down trees without risking damage to your home, landscape, or neighboring properties. Our team has done this hundreds of times, and we’re proud of our record for safe and efficient removals.
Keeping your trees trimmed isn’t just about appearance. Proper trimming improves a tree’s structure, encourages growth, and reduces the risk of branches falling unexpectedly. Each type of tree has its own pruning needs, and our team knows how to handle them all. From young trees that need shaping to mature trees that need careful thinning, we trim to support the long-term health and beauty of your landscape.
3. Stump Grinding
When a tree comes down, you’re left with a stump that can be both an eyesore and a hazard. Stump grinding is the best way to get rid of it, leaving the area ready for grass, plants, or whatever you have in mind. Our equipment grinds stumps down below ground level, so you won’t have to worry about regrowth or tripping hazards.
Here in the Tidewater area, storms are no joke. High winds and heavy rain can bring down branches or even entire trees, sometimes leaving a dangerous mess behind. Our team is on call for emergency tree service after storms, so if you need help fast, we’re ready. We’ll safely remove debris and fallen trees to help get your property back to normal as soon as possible.
5. Tree Health & Disease Management
Trees can suffer from pests, disease, and environmental stress just like any other plant. Our certified arborists can diagnose health problems, provide treatments, and recommend ways to protect your trees from common issues like fungi, beetles, or rot. Healthy trees are strong trees, so regular checkups are a good investment.
