Expert trimming, removal, and stump grinding for Lago Vista and the Hill Country
We are David Espinoza Tree Service, a local crew that works the Hill Country around Lago Vista, Jonestown, Point Venture, and the surrounding communities. The properties here sit on rocky limestone ridges, steep slopes, and cedar breaks, with live oaks, junipers, and Ashe junipers that need careful handling. Many homes are set back on narrow access drives or tight lots near the lake, so every job has to fit the land. We know these roads and these trees because we live here. Our crew shows up ready for the terrain, the soil, and the weather that comes with central Texas, and we treat every yard like it is our own neighborhood.
When you call us, we start by asking what you see and what concerns you have about the tree. We listen for things like lean, deadwood, or branches over a structure. Then we schedule a time to look at the tree in person. On site we walk the property, check the trunk, the root flare, the canopy, and the ground around the base. We look at access for our equipment and any obstacles like fences, power lines, or septic fields. After that we explain what we recommend, why, and what the work will involve. You get a clear quote that lays out the scope. No pressure, no surprises.
We use sharp saws and proper rigging to make clean cuts that heal well. For pruning we follow the natural branch collar and avoid flush cuts or leaving stubs. For removals we section the tree down with ropes to protect what is below. Stump grinding goes below grade to prevent regrowth and tripping hazards. We use chippers to process brush on site and haul away the debris. The difference between work that holds up and work that does not is in the cuts, the angles, and the attention to the tree's structure. We do not rush a cut just to get done. Every branch has a reason for being removed or left alone.
We park where we will not rut your yard or block your driveway. Before we start, we lay down plywood or mats over sensitive areas, and we flag any sprinkler heads or landscape lights we find. We keep the noise during reasonable hours and clean up as we go. When the saws stop, we rake the area, sweep the driveway, and load every chip, branch, and scrap into the truck. We do not leave tire tracks, torn sod, or sawdust piles behind. The place looks like we were never there except for the work that got done. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every property.
Our Google rating reflects the trust our neighbors have in us. Every review mentions punctuality, quality work, and fair pricing — we earn that feedback one job at a time.
We don't top trees or make careless cuts. Every branch is trimmed with the tree's long-term health in mind, using proper pruning techniques that promote strong, balanced growth.
We show up when we say we will. Our customers consistently note that we arrive on time and get straight to work, respecting your schedule and completing the job efficiently.
After the work is done, we leave your property spotless. We remove all branches, debris, and sawdust, and even wash down fences and surfaces that get dusty during the job.
After the job, you can call the same number you called the first time. David or one of the crew answers. If you have a question about a cut, a concern about a stump, or a tree that looks different after a storm, we are happy to come back and look at it. We do not disappear after the check clears. We think of our customers as neighbors, and we want you to feel good about the work for years. That means being reachable, being honest about what we can and cannot do, and treating your home the way we would want ours treated. That is how we run this business.
