Customer Reviews

"I would like to thank you again for all of your help in removing a very large tree in a tight space between two houses. Estimating and scheduling were easy and quick, and the work was flawless. The Team was delightful and they worked very well together to finish the job cleanly and quickly. They consulted us as needed and left the space as if they were never there. Thank you again for many years of exceptional service!"

"Thank you so so much Tre and Carter!!!! My cat was stuck in a tree for 18 hours after a dog chased her up and no one could help, including the fire department. Trenton and Carter arrived within 10 minutes of being called and got Coraline down so quickly and smooth. They were so considerate of making sure they were quiet and made her feel safe, even saying her name and spending some time with her up in the tree so she was comfortable coming down. We were so worried about her and were so appreciat"

"My experience with Van Yahres was excellent from beginning to end. I had multiple tree concerns - they listened, gave me information and options which helped me prioritize to stay within my budget. Watching the crew take down a tree that was partially hanging over my neighbors driveway was jaw droppingly impressive. Last but not least, every single person that I encountered was friendly, considerate and professional."

"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! FOLLOW UP REVIEW Van Yahres came back for more work on my property and did another terrific job. Even my neighbors remarked at how professional they were. Keep it up VYTC!"

"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 t"

"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 per"

"Van Yahres is the most professional operation in town. They are not only the most experienced arborists with decades of work in the area, but they also pay attention to details that homeowners care about. They scheduled our work around weather to be as minimally invasive to our property as possible and took care to leave as little trace as possible. Our pruned trees look amazing and you can barely tell they brought equipment through. We’ll continue to use them for years to come."

"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 a"

"Came into the office to some tree limbs taking up a big part of the parking lot. Van Yahres was prompt, courteous, fast, and professional in cleaning up. Once they left, the tree looked great and it was like it never even happened. Crew was wonderful! Thanks Van Yahres for a great job!"

"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"

"I don’t even know where to start with my rave about the Van Yahres Tree Company! My entire (huge) family has been using them for decades and it’s been a match made in heaven. I thought we loved trees but the Tree Co. REALLY loves trees. I can’t actually testify that I saw Mike VY tear up when he had to cut down one of his favorite oak trees after its long life, but I can certainly imagine that he did! This crew is knowledgeable, conscientious, cool, and civic-minded. They do amazing work. Be sur"

He is the man the only one I would call."
