Tree Service
As stewards of the D.C. metro area’s diverse urban forest, Community Landscape Services understands the vital role trees play in our region’s landscape character and environmental health. Our certified arborists work meticulously to preserve and enhance the magnificent oaks, maples, and flowering species that grace our commercial properties, institutional grounds, and residential spaces.
We recognize the unique challenges facing trees in our four-season climate – from severe weather damage to soil compaction in urban settings to emerging pests and diseases that threaten our cherished specimens. Our comprehensive approach combines traditional arboricultural expertise with cutting-edge science to protect and nurture your trees.
Through proactive care, we help maintain the health of both native and ornamental species adapted to the Mid-Atlantic’s distinct growing conditions. Our teams conduct regular health assessments to monitor for structural issues, pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and disease symptoms, allowing early intervention when problems arise.
Our certified arborists follow International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) standards to implement the most appropriate and effective tree care solutions.
We provide specialized services, including custom support systems and cabling, to protect mature trees against severe storms and heavy snow loads.
Our skilled crews perform precise aesthetic pruning and maintenance to promote optimal growth patterns while preserving each tree’s natural form and beauty. We offer innovative solutions for properties facing challenging conditions, like root barrier systems and targeted nutrient management programs.
Drawing on our deep understanding of the region’s ecology, we advise clients on tree selection and placement that enhances their landscape while ensuring long-term sustainability.
From emergency storm response to seasonal maintenance programs, our experts work closely with property managers and owners to develop comprehensive tree care strategies that protect and maximize the value of these irreplaceable assets for future generations.
