DeForest Tree Service, a Virginia Beach-based arborist company, is reminding property owners throughout South Hampton Roads about the critical importance of professional tree maintenance as the region enters its peak storm season. The company highlights that regular tree assessments and preventive maintenance can significantly reduce property damage risks during severe weather events.
With hurricane season extending through November and winter storms following closely behind, trees that have not received proper maintenance pose increased risks to homes, vehicles, and power lines. DeForest Tree Service in South Hampton Roads provides comprehensive arborist services including emergency response, crane-assisted removals, and preventive maintenance to help property owners prepare for and respond to weather-related tree hazards.
The Virginia Beach-based company has established a strong reputation for its professional approach to tree care, with customers consistently praising the company's attention to detail and safety protocols. One recent customer review highlighted the company's meticulous work, noting how crew members carefully lowered each tree limb by hand rather than allowing branches to fall, demonstrating the level of care taken to protect surrounding property.
"Property owners often underestimate how much stress storms place on trees, especially those that haven't been properly maintained," said Brandon DeForest, owner of DeForest Tree Service. "Regular tree trimming and professional assessments can identify potential hazards before they become emergencies, saving property owners significant costs and preventing dangerous situations."
Tree-related incidents during storms remain a leading cause of property damage and power outages across South Hampton Roads. According to regional utility reports, fallen trees and branches account for the majority of power disruptions during severe weather events. Professional tree services play a crucial role in minimizing these risks through preventive maintenance and rapid emergency response.
DeForest Tree Service maintains 24-hour availability for emergency situations, recognizing that tree-related hazards often occur outside normal business hours. The company's fleet includes specialized equipment such as bucket trucks and cranes, enabling crews to handle complex removals and reach trees in challenging locations safely.
"We've invested heavily in equipment and training because every tree situation is unique," added DeForest. "Whether it's a routine pruning job or an emergency removal after a storm, having the right tools and expertise makes all the difference in completing the work safely and efficiently."
Beyond emergency response, the company emphasizes the importance of regular tree maintenance for both residential and commercial properties. Proper pruning techniques promote tree health while reducing the likelihood of branch failure during storms. Additionally, removing dead or dying trees before they become hazardous prevents potential damage to structures and landscapes.

The company specializes in tree removal, stump grinding, pruning, emergency services, and storm cleanup.
