Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — JM Tree Services is fully licensed, bonded and insured. We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage, so you're protected in the unlikely event anything goes wrong on the job.
What tree services do you offer?

Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, every estimate is completely free with no obligation. An arborist visits your property, assesses the work needed, and provides a clear, itemized quote before anything begins.
Pricing & Estimates
Understanding the Cost
How much does tree service cost in Richmond, VA?
Cost varies widely based on the size and condition of the tree, accessibility, and the type of service needed. Because every property is different, we don't quote prices over the phone — we provide an accurate, itemized estimate after an on-site assessment.
What factors affect the price of a job?
Tree size and condition, proximity to structures or power lines, accessibility for equipment, and whether stump grinding or clean-up/hauling is included all factor into the final price.
Is the estimate binding, or can the price change later?
Our estimates are clear and itemized up front. The only time a price would change is if conditions on-site turn out to be different than expected (for example, hidden rot discovered mid-job) — and we'll always discuss that with you before proceeding.
Do you offer payment plans?
We're happy to discuss payment options for larger projects — reach out and we can talk through what works for your situation.
Safety & Process
What to Expect on the Job
What happens during a free estimate visit?
An arborist walks your property, evaluates the trees or area in question, answers your questions, and provides a written estimate covering scope, timeline and price — usually within the same visit.
Are your crews certified arborists?
Yes — our crews include ISA Certified Arborists who bring real horticultural training to every job, not just equipment operation.
What safety measures do you take on every job?
Every job starts with a site-specific safety plan: proper rigging, protective gear, clear communication among the crew, and precautions around structures, power lines and landscaping before any cutting begins.
Do you clean up after the job is done?
Always. Full clean-up — branches, logs, debris and sawdust — is included in every job, and we do a final walkthrough with you before we leave.
Emergency & Scheduling
Storms, Timing & Availability
Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree service?
Yes — storm damage and hazardous leaning trees are treated as priority calls, with crews available around the clock for emergency response.
How quickly can you respond after a storm?
Emergency calls typically get same-day dispatch. Call us directly at (804) 997-6460 for the fastest response during active storm damage.
How far in advance should I schedule routine work?
For non-emergency work like pruning or planned removals, we recommend scheduling a few weeks ahead, especially during our busier spring and fall seasons.
What happens if it rains on my scheduled day?
Safety comes first — if weather makes the job unsafe, we'll reschedule as soon as conditions allow and keep you updated throughout.
