Tree reviews in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Extremely professional crew. Went above and beyond to make sure they met my expectations. Flexible to adjust on site and take on more work than originally requested. Would certainly use again.

Had several trees removed and some trimmed heavily. These folks were easy to deal with from beginning to end. Very reasonable pricing too. I was concerned about some older walkways around the property and they took the time to lay matting over them. No damage at all. Not even any tracks in the yard. Very impressive.

The crew was extremely professional came in with all the equipment and crew necessary to do the job and they did it in a timely manner and a reasonable price and when they left the area it looked like the trees and never been there before. I highly recommend Poor Folks Tree Service and would use them again and again and again. They go the extra mile regarding safety and customer satisfaction. Thank you Brandon the leader and his 7 man crew for a job well done.

We first hired Poor Folks Tree Service in 2011 when we had a tree split 3 ways. One section went down on our house, one section knocked out another tree and the last section was hanging over our neighbor's house. They did a great job getting everything taken care of. We now have tenants in the house. We hired Poor Folks when we lost some large branches off of an old oak tree. I think that was about a year ago and they removed a tree. Our tenants spoke highly of their professionalism and that they did a great job with cleaning up too. I appreciate having a reliable company to work with from so far away. I am about to hire them again.

Poor Folks had the most competitive pricing out of the 3 quotes I received. The work was done, what appeared to me as, safely, efficiently and correctly for the removal of 4 trees. There were about 8 crew on my property and all were professional. Clean up was good. Not one bottle was left in my yard and 99% of debris was removed (not including logs).

Removed 1 star because scheduling communication could be improved and the logs were left on my street for a later pick up. I wish the logs were removed the same day.

I left a voicemail inquiring about their services and before we even spoke over the phone, they had come out to our house and left a quote in our mailbox. They were very friendly over the phone. They got us scheduled faster than we were expecting. The staff was very professional. They trimmed several trees we had in our front yard that were hanging over power lines and our roof. The trees look great and you would've never known that we had work done - there was no evidence of branches or leaves in our yard when they were done. Highly recommend and would work with them again.

I hired Poor Folks Tree Service to remove a couple trees and clear out some overgrown vegetation in my yard in Virginia Beach. The team was on time, did amazing work cutting and lowering the tree that was hanging over the house. They cleared up the overgrown area and removed a couple stumps. They finished within minutes of their estimated time when they arrived. Clean up after the hard work was complete was excellent. No doubt I will use them for any other tree work I need in the future and recommend this company to everyone.

Poor Folks was great to work with. I had two trees I needed to remove, both close to the power lines so they coordinated with the power company to remove what they needed and then came in a took care of the rest. Cleanup was excellent and you wouldn't even know there had been trees and branches all over once they finished.

I talked to Vanessa several times on the phone and she was always friendly and helpful and made sure I knew what was going on throughout the whole process. Lots of communication, fair prices, and great work. I definitely recommend their services!

Can't say good enough things about these people. Not only were they on time, they called me before they got here to let me know they cleaned up a tree that hadn't been Touched in years, and they did it at a very budget. Friendly price cleaned up after themselves and made sure. I was satisfied before they left. The customer's service is great. The Crew is awesome and polite and were super friendly to my dogs. That that got loose. Thank you so much for making my yard so much prettier now

Poor Folks Tree Service just finished cutting some trees in our backyard. I contacted them at the beginning of this week, the owner Tom, came out to give me an estimate the next day and despite the stormy weather they managed to squeeze us in for this week. The estimate was very reasonable, response time and communication was excellent and the guys are such hard working team. I can't say nothing but good and thank you. I wish all companies would deliver such good service.

Monday morning, received the call that Poor Folks Tree Service was on the way. The entire crew were there on time to get the job completed. From the Foreman, Tree cutting guy and the rest of the crew, provided World Class Service!!! They explained what the process was and really made me feel like a valued customer!!!

I had 5 different quotes and they were the best!!!

Lastly, their office manager also made the process easy by calling City Utilities to have the grounds marked up to show gas lines, electric and water lines. Again, a sincere World Class Service experience!!!

Value was #1!!!

I recently had Poor Folks Tree Service trim and remove several large oak trees on my property, and they did an outstanding job from start to finish. The experience began with a quick and accurate estimate, competitive rates, and clear, precise scheduling. On the day of service, they called in the morning to confirm their arrival time, which I appreciated.

The crew worked diligently throughout the entire day, handling multiple loads of lumber with efficiency and care. What stood out most was the professionalism and courtesy of the employees—they were polite and respectful throughout the process.

When the job was complete, the area was left spotless, which truly impressed me. The attention to detail and thorough cleanup showed their commitment to quality work.

I’m very pleased with their service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Poor Folks Tree Service to anyone in need of tree trimming or removal. Excellent work!

They were the best, from meeting to finishing up . I will recommend them to anyone who needs tree removal, these guys know what they’re doing, Everyone worked together to get the job done, thanks again Poor folks

I rarely ever leave reviews but didn't want to miss the opportunity to give this stellar company a shout out! Tom with Poor Folks Tree Service and the entire crew that was at my house today - I can't say thank you enough! Seriously, the BEST pricing around too!! I will recommend Poor Folks to anyone needing any sort of tree services. Everyone is kind and extremely hard-working and the turn around time was amazing! I called last week, got an estimate the following day and then this week, the job got done in just a couple of hours. Thank you all for doing such an amazing job! 👏👏👏

Hired them years ago and they were great. Called July for a smaller job and estimate was good with a 1-4 week time frame. Called the end of week 3 to make sure we were on the schedule for next week; they showed up the next day to “give me an estimate for the work”. Got a call from the office 3 days later basically scolding me. Apparently I had confused her which is why she resent the crew for an estimate. I asked her why didn’t she call me if she was confused. I reiterated that I was confirming we were on the schedule for this week; because now it is week 4; and she said due to emergencies and severe weather the timeframe would move. But we had beautiful weather in the 70s for the last 2 1/2 weeks, I’m not sure what emergencies they’re referring to. We also had a contract, but apparently that doesn’t matter. I canceled the whole job.

These guys did a great job. We had a very difficult tree that was overhanging our lake and dock. They worked hard and took the tree down without dropping anything in the lake, or on the dock. I was amazed by the climber and how well they rigged all of the branches down. Afterwards everything was cleaned up and without any turf damage. Very professional and thorough. I highly recommend them. Picture makes it look small, but it was 70’+ high.

Update Jan 2025 I had them come out to take out 5 more trees. They arrived exactly when they said they would. A crew of six worked a full day, including a thorough cleanup and repair of lawn divots caused by the trees. Also did a great job grinding three stumps. I still highly recommend them.

My neighbors were getting a tree cut, and the team at Poor Folks took care of me at the same time.
The team was quick and cleaned up well. I had to pick up very few sticks and overall the price I paid was very very reasonable.

Poor Folks Tree did a big job for me large elm tree in a difficult spot . Brandon and his crew did a great job. Professional, polite, hard working, cleaned up after. A pleasure to work with. I asked for a couple of extras which I was happy to pay for and they accomplished it and the extra price was very reasonable.

Overall, the price for the entire job with the extra amount was very reasonable and better than others, their price was right in line with others and very worth the cost to get the job done. Thank you Poor Folks Tree and you have my highest recommendation. Dealing with their lady in the office was also a pleasure and she was a joy to deal with. Well done. Highest recommendation.

I had 7 pine trees about 60 feet tall in my back yard and all the pine straw was getting way out of hand. Called around a few places and didn’t like the offers. A friend referred me to these guys and was really happy with the overall outcome and price. Not only did they give me the best quote but did all that work in TWO days. WITH clean up. Amazing work by these guys. Super professional. Read the bad reviews and can 100% disagree with them.

Amazing service from Poor Folks Tree Service! We needed 2 large maple trees removed/w stumps grinded from our backyard, and PFTS gave us the best estimate of 3 other tree services. We called PFTS on a Monday to set up an appointment, and the workers were at our home the next day to start the job (we were very lucky to slide into the schedule that quickly though)!
The office secretary was very helpful and friendly, to start off the process. She got us on the schedule, quickly. On the first job-site day, The workers removed 1 tree in just an hour, and had to come back the next morning to remove the last tree and grind both stumps. We also had 2 tree limbs removed from the neighbors yard, (protruding over our driveway), and PFTS used their truck with the "long boom/saw" to quickly cut those limbs.
The whole job took less than 8 hours to complete (both days, total time), and we were happy with the professionalism and quickness. The chainsaws they use are quiet enought that I actually slept (I work nights) the 2nd day they were working. Our neighbors were also satisfied with the professionalism and courtesy from PFTS (no damage to neighbor's yards or fences). I will definitely recommend Poor Folks Tree Service to anyone who needs tree service or trees removed.

Poor communication. Left a voicemail asking for an estimate, and they called back a day or two later and arrange to come out and estimate the work. Afterward, I had to leave another voicemail asking how to go forward. They wait a full 17 days to call back, and try to use that voicemail as confirmation of the job when I never paid or spoke to anyone on the phone after the estimate. Other companies have a convenient method to confirm work via online or text. I don't know of any other company that communicates this way.
