Tree Service in McLean, VA
McLean’s large lots and towering oaks and tulip poplars call for more than a pickup truck and a chainsaw. King Tree Services brings ISA Certified Arborist® (MA-6043A) oversight, tree risk assessment and the same crane equipment we run for our commercial clients to McLean homes, so even the largest trees near your house come down in controlled sections.
Commercial Crane Expertise for McLean Estate Lots
Our commercial division (kingtreeservices.net) works for developers, HOAs, corporate campuses and historic estates across Northern Virginia. We bring the same equipment and discipline to McLean homes. We own our 75-ton mobile crane. With static vertical rigging, each section is secured on the crane line before it’s cut. AlturnaMATS® ground protection spreads the weight across your lawn and driveway. A hazard tree comes down piece by piece over your roof, pool or garden instead of being felled. It’s the same low-impact technique our commercial crews used to take down a 90-foot oak on a zero-lot-line site in Rosslyn.

Every removal is planned before the crane arrives: where it sets up, where each section lands, and how your property stays protected.
- Our Tree Care Services
Arborist-Led Care for McLean’s Mature Canopy
Many McLean properties are shaded by mature oaks, tulip poplars and beeches that stand well above the homes beside them. We assess the whole tree, not just the limb you called about, so you know what can be preserved and what poses a real risk.
Tree Removal
Crane-assisted and rope-rigged removals for dead, declining or storm-damaged trees. Each one is taken down in a planned sequence so nothing free-falls near your home, fence or landscaping.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Crown cleaning, thinning and clearance pruning to ANSI A300 standards. We remove deadwood and excess weight while protecting the tree’s long-term structure.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Industrial grinders take stumps below grade so you can replant, re-sod or add hardscaping. We clean up the grindings before we leave.
Tree Planting & Replacement
Help choosing replacement trees that suit the site, including when a removal leaves a gap or your HOA requires replanting.
Tree Health & Diagnosis
On-site evaluation of decline, pests such as emerald ash borer, root problems and decay, with a clear recommendation from our ISA Certified Arborist®.
Emergency Storm Cleanup
24/7 response when a tree or large limb lands on a house, driveway or car, with crane support for heavy or hung-up trees.
Tree Cabling & Support Systems
Cabling and bracing for valuable trees with weak forks or heavy limbs, so a prized tree can be kept rather than removed.
Land & Property Clearing
Selective clearing for additions, pools and landscaping projects. Ground mats limit ruts and soil compaction around the trees you’re keeping.

What Our Customers Say About Our Tree Services
Every review below is a word-for-word Google review from a King Tree Services customer.
Excellent!!! Edgar and his crew removed a ton of trees, branches, and vines from our 5 acre lot. They are all extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Staff safety and the safety of your property is a top priority for them and it shows. They removed huge branches over our home so this was also a priority of ours. Reasonably priced and they did an excellent job cleaning up after they were done. I have already scheduled to have them come back and do more work. Thanks so much!!
We recently had Kings Tree Services at our house to repoint/repair our mulch bed retaining walls, as well as clear out and refill the mulch beds. They also added a walkway in our backyard which not only looks great but has also helped address the a problem area of our yard that frequently remained muddy. Their services were fantastic and there pricing can't be beat. I would highly recommend their services.
Edgar was fantastic to work with! We had a very large tree fall down in a storm and wanted it removed. Within the same day that I called, he came out to assess what needed to be done. I would absolutely recommend using this company for any tree removal service. They did an excellent job, Especially with cleaning up all the debris at the end.
Stream Buffers, Permits and HOA Reviews in McLean
Parts of McLean drain to Pimmit Run, Scotts Run and other Potomac tributaries. Properties near those streams can fall inside Fairfax County’s Chesapeake Bay Resource Protection Areas. Inside a Resource Protection Area, the county must approve tree removal even when a tree is dead or dying, and approval conditions can limit the equipment allowed near the stream. Many McLean communities also have their own architectural or tree guidelines. Before any work starts, we check whether either applies to your trees and help you get the paperwork in order.
