The David's Tree Service truck with its green wrap and phone numbersWhat you’re
looking at.
Six things to look for, from the first cut to the empty yard.
Climbing and bucket work
A tree near a house doesn’t get felled. It gets taken apart from the top down, piece by piece, with each section lowered on a rope. That’s the difference between a removal and a repair bill.
Most of the skill
Rigging
The ropes and pulleys you can see set on the trunk are what control where a section lands. Setting rigging properly takes longer than cutting does, and it’s most of the skill in the job.
The felling cut
In open ground a tree can come down whole, and that’s the fastest and cheapest way to do it when there’s room.
Crane work
For tall pines and poplars in tight spots, a crane lifts each section clear rather than lowering it through what’s underneath.
Chipper and grapple
Brush goes through the chipper, trunk sections get lifted out with the skid steer. This is the part that turns a felled tree into an empty yard.
What customers mention most
The finished yard
The thing customers mention more than anything else in reviews. When we leave, it’s clean.
The kind other
outfits pass on.
That work needs rigging, a crane sometimes, and the judgment to know which.

Big trees over houses
Large tulip poplars standing over houses.

Steep lake lots
Trees on the steep ground around Smith Mountain Lake where nothing can be dropped and equipment access is awkward.

Storm damage at 2 a.m.
Storm damage at two in the morning with half a tree hanging.
That’s mostly how you get the judgment to know which job needs what.

Great service, we had a huge oak come down and David was able to clean up the tree and carry away the pieces and remove the stump. Cleaned up the area well and left no sign that there was ever a tree there. He had all the equipment needed and the experience to get the job done efficiently. We’re b Very pleased with the entire effort.Posted on Google![]()

David and his team did a great job taking down a very large hickory tree and other dead/dying trees at our wooded farm. They cleaned up afterwards. Excellent job.Posted on Google![]()

I needed a tree service company to cut 3 large oak trees that were leaning toward my house. I searched online and saw a list of tree services. One stood out with 6 positive reviews -- David's Tree Services. I called and David came out and gave me an estimate. He backed it up with a written proposal. I accepted and he was at work the next day. He did an outstanding job of cutting down the 3 large oak trees, grinding their stumps plus grinding 2 other old stumps, cutting the branches off of a neighbors tree that hung over my yard, took off the branches of a large neighbor's tree that leaned toward my house, cut off an underground root of a tree that was pushing my concrete drive up, and trimmed away branches from my overhead power line that could cause trouble in the future. He had all of the equipment including stump grinding. When he finished, not a leaf was left in the yard. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAVID'S TREE SERVICES.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot say enough good things about David's tree service. He has basically saved my house. We had a 58-ft tree 3 ft from the house that was beginning to die. He was able to get that tree cleared. We had a tree that was beginning to reach a neighbor's house, he was able to clear that tree also. All in all we had five trees removed and all the ivy that was climbing my house that I'm allergic to. He was able to clear it to get us ready for our roof that's getting replaced. With all this work that was performed, the price was extremely reasonable and David's is such a nice gentleman. His crew is exceptional. Every one of the gentlemen I met were very friendly and nicePosted on Google![]()

Hard to get ahold of and confirm a time/if they can do the service. First time dealing with them was great but sadly did not have a good experience with a tree second time around.Posted on Google![]()

We’ve had the pleasure of working with David’s Tree Services twice now. David and his team took down a few very large oak trees and a few tree of heaven in 2024. The work was top notch and price was more than fair. We asked for his help again recently to take out an ugly overgrown row of cedars that shaded the driveway in winter and was full of weeds. David came out within a day, made quick work of the removal and left the area so clean, its like the cedars were never there! The work was finished in less than a day! I consider David’s Tree Services the ONLY Tree Service to call in the Bedford County area.Posted on Google![]()

David and his crew just cut down a “monster” tree at our property in Thaxton. The tree was enormous-probably 200 years old. David really knew what he was doing and he tackled the project professionally, quickly and safely. Afterwards He spent a lot of leveling the ground and cleaning up the roots. David was fair-priced for the job. I would definitely use him again. I highly recommend him.
Are these really your photos?
Yes. Our crew, our equipment, real jobs in this area. The previous version of this website used pictures pulled off the internet, and we had them taken down.
Can I see a job near me?
Often, yes. Ask when we come out to quote and we’ll point you at something nearby you can go and look at.
Do you do work this size on ordinary houses?
Most of what you see here is ordinary residential work. A big tree over a normal house is the everyday job, not the exception.
Call and we’ll come
look at yours.
Free estimate, and a straight answer about what your tree needs.
