Kept · the canopy
Hardwoods over a cabin, understory out
The big trees stayed. The brush under them came out, a path was cut through, and the slope beside the cabin went to new sod.
Premier Arbor takes down the trees that have to go and leaves the ones worth keeping.
Owner-operated tree care, removal, stump grinding and lot clearing from Locust Grove. Scott Keen walks your trees with you, then stays on the job until the last of the clean-up is raked.
What stayed standing
Every tree gets a verdict before a saw starts.
Some come down that day. Some can wait a few years. Some are healthy and stay put, and the ground around them gets finished properly.
Kept · three trunks
Mulch and new plantings around the trunks
Three trees left in the front bed of a new white farmhouse, with fresh mulch, new shrubs and the dump trailer still in the drive.
Kept · the shade
Pea gravel under the shade trees
The shade trees by the deck stayed put. The worn ground under them became a cream pea-gravel bed with shrubs and a fire pit.
What does the cutting
The whole fleet on one lawn
Kubota excavator, Takeuchi track loader, the Morbark chipper, the stump grinder and the trucks. One owner, his own machines.
Tree work, stumps, lots and the ground under them
Five kinds of work, one owner. Every job starts with a free estimate on the property, and every one ends with the debris hauled off.
Down now
Tree care & removal
Trimming, pruning, topping, fertilizing and full removal, including the big trunks that lean over a roof, a fence or a road.
Below grade
Stump grinding
The stump goes below grade with the grinder, the same visit as the removal if you like, so the lawn can close over it.
Keepers kept
Lot clearing
Tree and brush removal, stump removal and grading for new construction or an existing property, with the good trees marked and left standing.
Ground work
Excavating & grading
Kubota and Takeuchi machines for site prep, access roads, culverts, lot grading and drainage once the trees are handled.
Finish grade
Landscaping & hardscaping
River rock, landscape cloth, top soil, mulch, bobcat grading and transplanted shrubs to finish the ground the trees left.
The owner is on every job, the whole time.
Scott Keen isn't a salesman who hands you to a crew. He walks the trees with you, runs the job and stays on it the entire time, through the clean-up. That's the part people write about.

“Scott supervised every limb and looked at the tree with an artists eye, making sure the tree looked symmetrical.”
“I had tree limbs overhanging the house which I thought would be a little tricky but they handled it. Cleaned up afterwards.”
“We had a tree that was very close to our home they took it down with No Problems.”
A walk at Lake Anna
Four trees down, stumps ground, the firewood left behind.
“Scott and his team are amazing! We had him walk around with us on our property at Lake Anna to examine all of our trees. Scott was very knowledgeable on the different tree species and pointed out the ones that needed to be taken down right away, ones that could wait a few years and the ones that were completely healthy. Scott and his crew took down four trees and ground down the stumps. He was able to leave behind the pieces that we could use for Firewood. We were super impressed with the professionalism and the cleanup that they did afterwards. We highly recommend Scott and his team for any tree work that is needed.”
Scott Bouldin, Google review
Taken down right away
The ones Scott pointed out to take down right away. At Lake Anna that was four trees, and the stumps were ground down too.
Could wait a few years
Worth watching, not worth paying for yet. You hear that from Scott, not a pitch to take everything.
Completely healthy
Left standing and protected while the machines work around them. These are the trees the property is built around.
A tree on the roof at 2 a.m. is still a phone call.
Premier Arbor Services is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Call Scott any time. If he's on a saw and misses it, you get a call back within 24 hours.

Clean-up is part of the job. Limbs are chipped, debris is hauled off, and stumps can be ground down the same visit. If you want to keep rounds for firewood, say so and they are left for you.
