What we do

Everything from a routine trim
to a tree that came down last night.

We’ve been doing it since 1993. Licensed and insured, free estimates, and the same crew quotes the job and does the work. Call 540-297-3454 and David will come out and look at it.

01
Hazardous, dead or in the way

When a tree is dead, leaning toward something that matters, decayed through the trunk, or simply standing where you need the ground. Near a house or a line we take it down in sections and lower it on ropes rather than dropping it. Everything gets cleaned up, and you can keep the wood if you burn it.

  • Taken down in sections
  • Lowered on ropes near houses
  • Full cleanup
  • Keep the wood
02
The cheapest tree work there is

Deadwood out, structure improved, limbs off your roof and out of your driveway. This is the cheapest tree work there is and the easiest to put off. Most of the emergency calls we run in summer are limbs that had been dead for two years. We don’t top trees, and we’ll explain why if anyone has offered to.

  • Deadwood out
  • Limbs off roofs & driveways
  • Structure improved
  • We don’t top trees
03Emergency tree service

24 hours a day, seven days a week. Trees on houses, trees across driveways, limbs hung up in the canopy after a storm. We answer at two in the morning the same as two in the afternoon, and after a big storm we work in order of danger rather than order of calls.

Day or night.
04
Ground out below grade

Once the tree is down the stump is still in your way. We grind them out below grade so you can mow, plant or build over the spot. If we’re already there taking the tree down, grinding the stump at the same time is the cheapest it will ever be, so ask for both when you get the quote.

  • Below-grade grinding
  • Mow, plant or build over it
  • Cheapest with the removal
05
Lots, fence lines, pasture & views

Building lots, fence lines, pasture that has gone to cedar and briar, and selective clearing to open a view. We’ll walk the property with you first, because what the land is for changes how it should be cleared. Taking everything off a lot is sometimes necessary and usually a mistake.

  • Building lots
  • Fence lines
  • Cedar & briar pasture
  • Selective clearing for a view
Not sure which one you need?

That’s normal, and it’s what
the free estimate is for.

Plenty of people call thinking a tree has to come down when trimming solves the problem for a lot less money. We’ll tell you straight either way, including when the answer is that the tree is fine and you should leave it alone.

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.

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.

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.

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 nice

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.

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.

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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge for estimates?

No. David comes out, looks at the job, and gives you a price. No charge and no obligation.

Yes, both. It’s worth asking any tree company for proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation before they start, and verifying it with the insurer rather than taking a certificate at face value.

Always, on every job. It’s the thing our customers mention more than anything else.

Regular work is usually a few days. Storm damage is right away. Call and we’ll tell you honestly.

Yes. Farms, businesses, rental property and HOA work as well as houses.
