Hazard Limb Removal Over a Roof
A large oak limb hangs over a bedroom. We climb and rig it down in sections, cutting each piece to a manageable size and lowering it with ropes.
Service area
David Espinoza Tree Service in Hudson Bend
Hudson Bend homeowners call us for tree removal and stump grinding, especially after storms. We're familiar with the terrain and can navigate the narrow roads and steep driveways common in the area.
Local service
Proudly serving Hudson Bend
Hudson Bend is a peninsula on Lake Travis, with a mix of older lake cabins and new custom homes built on steep, rocky lots. The terrain is a patchwork of limestone outcroppings, clay pockets, and thick cedar brakes. Storms blow in fast across the lake, and the mature oaks and elms here take a beating. Narrow roads like Hudson Bend Road and steep driveways make access tricky. Many homes have trees that overhang the roof or the septic field, and every job requires a careful plan for getting equipment in and out.
Our crew brings a chipper and a stump grinder on a trailer that fits the tight turns. We often park at the bottom of a driveway and haul gear up the hill by hand or with a winch. We rig ropes to lower limbs away from houses and power lines, and we clean up every chip and branch before we leave. Because we're based in Lago Vista, we're on Hudson Bend roads daily and know which lots need a second truck and which ones we can back into. We keep the job tidy and the access open.
David Espinoza Tree Service works across Lago Vista, TX & the surrounding Hill Country, so a crew is never far from Hudson Bend. Call (512) 412-1890 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.

What Hudson Bend homeowners call us for
Tree Removal
Storm-damaged oaks and elms on steep lots require sectional dismantling and rigging to avoid hitting the house or the septic system. We work safely on slopes.
Stump Grinding & Root Removal
Rocky limestone soil makes stump grinding a common request. We grind below grade so the area can be used for a patio or garden without tripping over roots.
Cedar & Brush Removal
Thick cedar brakes on undeveloped lots need clearing for fire safety and building access. We cut, chip, and haul so the lot is ready for your next step.
Emergency Tree Service
Lake windstorms can snap a limb or topple a tree onto a roof or driveway. We respond fast to stabilize the tree and clear the hazard, day or night.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Hudson Bend
Full Cedar Clearing on a Lot
A two-acre lot is overgrown with cedar. We cut every tree at the base, chip the brush, and grind the stumps so the land is clear and usable.
Stump Grinding After a Storm Removal
A storm took down a large elm near the driveway. After removal, we grind the stump eight inches below grade and backfill the hole with soil.

Where we work
Across Hudson Bend
Hudson Bend Road Corridor
This main road has homes set back on steep lots with long driveways. Work here often involves trimming trees that overhang the road and clearing storm debris from the pavement.
The Peninsula Neighborhoods
The subdivisions near the tip of the bend have newer homes with young trees and older lots with mature oaks. We prune for view preservation and remove hazard trees near the water.
Outlying Acreage
The larger lots away from the lake have heavy cedar and juniper growth. We clear brush for firebreaks and pasture maintenance, chipping everything on site.
