Timbershark is a licensed and insured tree service company based in Martinsburg, WV, serving homeowners and businesses in Shepherdstown and throughout Jefferson County. The company provides tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump removal, and emergency storm response for residential and commercial properties.
Maybe a big limb hangs over the driveway, or a dead tree near the house has finally started to worry you. That's the moment to bring in someone who evaluates the situation before touching a saw. Timbershark is locally owned and operated, and the decisions on your property are grounded in real arborist judgment about structure, health, and risk.
A tree that looks alarming isn't always a removal, and a tree that looks fine isn't always safe. Timbershark's recommendations come from professional arborist principles — reading a tree's structure, health, and proximity to your house before deciding whether trimming, pruning, or removal is the right call. That matters because the honest answer sometimes saves a tree worth keeping, and sometimes tells you a hazard needs to go now rather than after the next storm. Either way, you get a straight read instead of a sales pitch.

When a tree is dead, damaged, or growing too close to your home, controlled removal takes it down safely — including the careful, sectioned takedowns needed when there's no clean space to drop it.
Precision pruning that supports a tree's health and structure while clearing limbs away from your roof, driveway, and power lines. The right cuts keep a tree strong instead of just smaller.
A leftover stump invites decay and gets in the way of everything around it. Timbershark handles stump removal so the spot is usable again, with no ground-level reminder of what was there.
When severe weather drops a limb or splits a tree, on-call storm response helps secure the situation fast, clear the debris, and prevent further damage to your property.
Shepherdstown sits just east of Martinsburg, where Timbershark is based — a short drive across Berkeley County into Jefferson County. It's well inside the area we work regularly, so bringing us out for tree work here is nothing out of the ordinary. We take on projects throughout this corner of the Eastern Panhandle, including the surrounding communities of Kearneysville, Shenandoah Junction, and Bakerton. Whether it's a single hazardous tree along a wooded property line or a full clearing job after a storm, Shepherdstown is squarely within our reach.
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.
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 the tree's structure, health, and how close it sits to something it could damage. A tree with a few crowded or overhanging limbs is often a good candidate for pruning, while one that's dead, badly leaning, or split usually needs to come down. We assess each tree before recommending either, so you're not removing something that could have been saved.
Much of this work can be done year-round, but late fall through winter is often ideal for pruning, since trees are dormant and their structure is easier to read without full foliage. Hazardous trees and storm damage are the exception — those are worth addressing as soon as you notice them, regardless of season.
Yes. Shepherdstown is well within our regular service area, along with surrounding communities like Kearneysville, Shenandoah Junction, and Bakerton. Reaching this part of Jefferson County from our Martinsburg base is a routine part of what we do.
Whether it needs selective pruning, controlled removal, or storm cleanup, we’ll explain what the tree needs and provide a clear estimate before work begins. Honest advice, no pressure, and a local crew that regularly serves Shepherdstown and Jefferson County.
