Timbershark is a licensed and insured tree service based in Martinsburg, WV, serving residential and commercial properties across West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia. Every job is guided by arborist principles, weighing a tree's structure, health and risk before recommending trimming or removal.
There's usually one tree that worries you: the dead limb over the driveway, the leaner too close to the roof. Timbershark evaluates what's actually going on first, so the plan matches the tree rather than a sales pitch. When a tree needs to come down near something you'd rather not damage, careful judgment is the whole job.
Timbershark handles the full range of tree work: removals when a tree is dead, damaged, or crowding a target, precision pruning that supports structure and health, stump removal, and storm cleanup that hauls the debris away instead of leaving it in your yard. Some of that is routine care you schedule ahead. Some of it is the call you make the morning after a storm.
What ties it together is judgment. Every recommendation starts by evaluating the tree's structure, condition, and what it's close to — because trimming and removal are not interchangeable, and the wrong call is expensive either way. Being locally owned means the person weighing that decision is the same one accountable for how the job turns out.
From planned maintenance to removals and cleanup that can't wait.
Dead, leaning or too close to your house, fence or lines? We remove the risk before the weather does, and give you back usable space.
Good pruning supports a tree's health and structure. We clear limbs from roofs, walkways and power lines, leaving trees safe and well shaped.
Stumps trip people up, block mowers and attract pests. We grind them out so the spot goes back to lawn.
A limb across the driveway or a tree on the house needs fast action. Timbershark responds after severe weather, securing hazards and hauling off debris.
Call or request a free estimate and tell us what you're dealing with, whether a hazardous tree, limbs over the roof, a stump or storm damage. We'll sort out the concern and the timeline together.
We look at the tree in person, checking its structure, health and what it stands near. You'll get an honest read on whether it needs full removal or whether trimming solves the problem.
You get a clear estimate with the recommendation and the reasoning behind it. The number you approve is the number the work is based on, with no surprise add-ons.
The crew handles the agreed work with your property in mind, then cleans up and hauls off the debris. The only sign we were there is the work itself.
A tree next to your roof, your fence, or your neighbor's property leaves little room for error, and you can't judge the skill until the work is done. These are homeowners and property owners across the region describing how their jobs actually went.
From our base in Martinsburg, we serve homeowners and commercial properties across the corner where West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia meet. Storm season doesn't stop at a county line, and neither do the hazardous trees it leaves behind. One front can drop limbs in all three states in a single night.
Being local means we know the weather that drives most of this work and we're close enough to respond when it hits. Routine trimming or urgent damage, reach out and we'll figure out the timing together.

Every job starts with a free estimate. Someone comes out, looks at the tree, and gives you a straightforward price along with the recommendation behind it — so you can weigh the cost against the risk without any obligation to move forward.
A few things you can count on with Timbershark:
the work is covered, which matters most when a large tree comes down near a structure.
the number you approve is what the job is based on, without surprise add-ons after the crew arrives.
debris is hauled off when the work is done, not left for you to deal with.
the person quoting the job is accountable for how it finishes.
It depends on what's actually wrong with it. A tree that's dead, badly damaged, or leaning toward something it could hit is usually a removal. A structurally sound tree that's simply overgrown or crowding a roof or line is often a pruning job. That's why the assessment happens in person — the recommendation should come from reading the specific tree, not a guess over the phone.
For planned pruning, late fall through winter is generally ideal, since dormant trees are easier to assess and shape without the full canopy in the way. Hazard and storm work, on the other hand, doesn't wait for a season — a dead limb over a driveway or a tree leaning on a house is worth handling whenever you notice it.
Removal takes the tree down, but the stump stays in the ground unless it's addressed separately. Grinding it out clears the tripping hazard and mower obstacle and lets the spot return to lawn. If you'd rather leave it, that's a choice too — it just tends to attract pests and rot over time.
Yes. Timbershark works with homeowners and commercial property managers alike, from a single hazardous tree in a backyard to trees and storm damage across a larger property. The approach is the same either way: assess the risk, recommend the right work, and clean up when it's done.
Call or request a free estimate, and someone will come out to look at the tree, tell you honestly whether it needs removing or trimming, and give you a straightforward price. No obligation to go further.
