DeForest Tree Service Corporation Expands Crane-Assisted Capabilities for Storm-Damaged Tree Removal

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - February 05, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

DeForest Tree Service Corporation has enhanced its emergency response capabilities with expanded crane-assisted tree removal services to address the increasing demand for safe tree removal following severe weather events across coastal Virginia. The Virginia Beach-based company has mobilized additional crane resources and certified crews to handle complex removals of storm-damaged trees that pose immediate risks to homes, power lines, and public safety.

The expansion comes as winter storms continue to impact the East Coast, leaving many property owners with hazardous leaning trees, weakened limbs hanging over structures, and potentially dangerous situations requiring specialized equipment and expertise. DeForest Tree Service crane-assisted tree removal allows the company to safely extract large, damaged trees from confined spaces where traditional felling methods would pose unacceptable risks to nearby structures or utilities.

"When severe weather strikes, the aftermath often presents scenarios where conventional tree removal simply isn't safe or practical," said Brandon DeForest, owner of DeForest Tree Service Corporation. "Our crane-assisted approach allows us to precisely lift and lower massive tree sections even in the tightest urban spaces or backyards, eliminating the risk of additional property damage during the removal process."

The specialized service utilizes powerful cranes operated by certified professionals to carefully dismantle and remove trees that have been compromised by ice accumulation, high winds, or other storm damage. This method proves particularly valuable when dealing with trees that lean precariously over homes, those entangled in power lines, or specimens located in areas with limited access.

The crane-assisted removal process significantly reduces the time required for tree extraction compared to traditional methods, allowing homeowners and businesses to restore safety to their properties more quickly. The technique also minimizes ground impact and protects landscaping that might otherwise be damaged by heavy equipment or falling tree sections.

DeForest Tree Service in Virginia Beach has seen a marked increase in requests for emergency tree assessments and removals following recent weather events. The company's comprehensive approach includes initial hazard assessment, strategic removal planning, precise crane operation, complete debris handling, and stump grinding services, providing property owners with an all-inclusive solution during stressful post-storm recovery periods.

Beyond emergency response, the company's crane services prove essential for removing mature trees that have outgrown their locations, trees showing signs of disease or decay, and those requiring removal for construction or renovation projects. The precision offered by crane assistance ensures surrounding vegetation and structures remain undamaged during the removal process.

DeForest Tree Service Corporation maintains round-the-clock availability for emergencies and operates throughout Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the greater Hampton Roads area. The licensed and insured company has built its reputation on combining advanced equipment with certified expertise to deliver safe, efficient tree removal services for both residential and commercial properties. With decades of experience in coastal Virginia's unique tree care challenges, the company continues to invest in equipment and training to meet the evolving needs of property owners facing increasingly severe weather patterns.
