Second time using Fonville. They removed three 100-foot trees very close to the house. Top notch service and the prices were dead on. Prompt communication, fast and thorough, and they actually left the backyard cleaner than when they arrived.

A maple tree in our backyard fell during a heavy wind gust the night before. I called Fonville the next morning and they were out the same day. The price was very reasonable and the guys did a wonderful job.

Fast, friendly service. They were thoughtful of the property and made sure there was no damage as they removed several problem trees and limbs. Their cleanup left no mess behind, and they even picked up trimmings they did not create.

We have used Brice and his crew on several of our jobs. They have always gotten the job done right and in a timely manner. Would highly recommend them for good quality tree service.

We could not be happier with the Fonville team. We had about seven trees removed, all in spots where extreme caution was needed near the house, the neighbor, and the road. This team took so much care in their approach.

These guys were great. Fonville did a walk through of the property in advance and arrived when they said they would. They were very careful doing delicate limb removal around the house and took down a couple of 90-foot trees.
