Signs You Need Tree Trimming in Northern Virginia
In many cases, trimming down a tree is not an easy decision. Property owners often want their tree to flourish and be healthy. Is it wrong to trim a tree that is growing?
On the other hand, once you know your tree has gotten too large, should you just remove it entirely to avoid future complications? It is our job as your trusted tree trimming experts to help you reach the right decision, considering your property, your wishes, and your budget.
Key Reasons for Tree Trimming in Your Yard
- The overall health of the tree is jeopardized due to an excess of dead branches.
- A disease is growing in certain parts of the tree and needs to be removed.
- Trimming certain fruit-bearing trees can actually trigger fruit growth.
- The tree is growing too close to powerlines.
- Large branches have grown over a home, risking a disaster if they fall off.
- Branches are extending into a neighboring property.
- The surrounding area can’t be seen and enjoyed due to the tree blocking the view.
Understanding Tree Trimming vs. Tree Pruning
Tree trimming involves removing portions of the tree that are not necessary for growth such as dead, broken or diseased branches. Tree pruning is more focused on shaping the tree to enhance its structure and appearance by selectively removing some healthy parts of the tree.
Pruning also helps to promote better health and vigor by controlling the amount of foliage, stimulating the formation of buds and reducing the risk of certain diseases. Tree trimming is often done on younger trees to promote better structure while pruning is most often used on mature trees to maintain their shape and appearance.
Pruning is also more focused on promoting healthy growth and maximizing the life span of a tree, whereas trimming focuses more on aesthetics. Both tree trimming and pruning are important for the health of a tree, but the techniques used and goals achieved differ between the two.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us
Stephen Hartka
Local Guide
We had three trees removed from a small yard in Old Town Alexandria. Highly technical job that included a very large Mulberry that overhung neighbors' property on both sides and was crisscrossed by no less than three service lines, as well as cable lines. Also included large elm that was less than 10 feet from house. I honestly did not understand how it would be possible to safely get rid of these trees. The crew did not bat an eye when they saw the situation. They skillfully and methodically took down the trees, often having to proceed painstakingly slow to work around obstacles and avoid damaging structures. I would have full faith in this crew to take on extremely challenging/technical jobs.
Steve Young
Local Guide
Big Steve did work for us several years ago and I was very happy about the quality and price. They just came back and did a moderate amount of work for me and my nextdoor neighbor. Once again they were great! Very careful of our property, did a good job of what we had asked for, and cleaned up very nicely at the end. We were very happy and I certainly would recommend them as a good contractor if you need tree work done, plus miscellaneous shrub pruning, etc.

Big Steve's Tree Care did a fantastic job removing a very large oak that was nestled up against my house. Their estimate was competitive, they were able to get me on their schedule relatively quick, and the work was performed respectfully and within a single day. Stump grinding and tree removal were both done very well with no damage to my property. I've used this company on three separate occasions across two properties and feel solid in recommending them to anyone in NOVA who needs a tree or stump removed.

Big Steve came out right away to address my concerns on a new home property that had invasive trees and tree shrubs destroying a custom-made $30,000 fence. Their estimate was very reasonable given that ten fence panels needed to come down and go back up after removal and five fence posts needed to be replaced due to the damage. The job took two days to include taking down two trees near the front porch. Big Steve also adjusted their schedule to remove invasive tree shrubs from the neighbor's property affecting the party fence and water and sewage exterior pipes. I highly recommend Big Steve for your tree care. "Efficient, Highly Knowledgeable, Reasonable, and Flexible"

Big Steve's crews do professional and perfect work. I have worked with them for years. They have taken out about 12 oak trees (0ver 80 ft) over the years. Always a reasonable price, and the crews are top rate. Very responsive while on site and leave the yard perfect. I have a bunch more oaks that are going to have to go. Would not even think of any other tree service.

We've used Big Steve's twice in the past month, first for a tree removal where they came, gave us a reasonable estimate without trying to upsell us with other unnecessary services and then were able to take the tree down the following week. The second time we used them was for leaf removal and a team of 4 individuals spent 6 hours meticulously getting the leaves off of our half acre. Imagine how long that would have taken me! 100% worth the price and we'll be using them for years to come.
