About Us
Saving Trees and Preserving Real Estate Value Since 1997
Pitchford Associates was formed by Keith Pitchford in 1997 with a company philosophy to provide sound scientific advice to a variety of clients and with no conflicts of interest. We provide insight gained from over 33 years of tree care experience to clients who understand the importance of input on tree care issues with no underlying bias. We do not have tree care crews to keep occupied, or large overhead to support. Therefore, our input addresses only your tree care needs, and not what we want to sell you. We recently moved our office to Charlottesville, VA after three decades in Washington, DC..
