The Family Tree Service That's Been Caring for Northern Virginia Since 1982
What happens when a family-owned business spends 40+ years building trust in one community—one tree at a time?
Meet Ross Tree Service—the Bristow, Virginia-based tree care company that has been serving Northern Virginia families, churches, and businesses since 1982. Family-owned and operated for over four decades, Ross Tree Service combines certified arborist expertise with the kind of personal service that only comes from deep community roots.
With ISA Certified Arborists on staff and membership in both the International Society of Arboriculture and Tree Care Industry Association, Ross Tree Service brings professional credentials to every job—while never losing the family-business touch that earned their reputation.
Four Decades in One Community
Since 1982, Ross Tree Service has made Northern Virginia their home—not just geographically, but relationally.
Forty-plus years in the same community means:
- Three generations of some families have trusted Ross Tree
- Deep local knowledge of Northern Virginia's trees and conditions
- Established reputation built one satisfied customer at a time
- Commitment to staying when others might have moved on
This kind of continuity is increasingly rare in the service industry. When a company stays rooted in one place for four decades, it's because they've earned their neighbors' trust.

Why Local Tree Services Matter
Choosing a local, family-owned tree service means:
Accountability A company that lives in your community cares about their reputation. They can't disappear after a bad job.
Knowledge Forty years in Northern Virginia means understanding local tree species, soil conditions, weather patterns, and common problems.
Relationship Family businesses remember their customers. The owner might show up on your job—and remember you next time.
Investment Dollars spent with local businesses stay in the community, supporting local families and local economy.
Why This Matters
Forty years in one community is not a marketing slogan — it is a testament to earned trust. Ross Tree Service has cared for three generations of Northern Virginia families, and their ISA-certified arborists bring a depth of local knowledge — about species, soil, storm patterns, and property conditions — that no newly arrived competitor can match. Their willingness to prioritize church parking lot clearances before Sunday services speaks to a set of values that goes beyond the job. When a storm hits Northern Virginia, the families who call Ross Tree are calling people who live in their community and will still be there next year.
