Crown Reduction on a Live Oak
A large oak overhanging a lakefront house needs its canopy reduced by a third. We climb and prune each branch back to a lateral, leaving a natural shape.
Service area
David Espinoza Tree Service in Point Venture
Point Venture's lakeside properties often have mature trees that need careful pruning to preserve views and protect structures. Our crew is experienced working in tight access areas near the water.
Local service
Proudly serving Point Venture
Point Venture sits on the north shore of Lake Travis, where the limestone bluffs and narrow lots are packed with live oaks, junipers, and elms. Many homes here were built in the 1970s and 80s, with roofs and decks tucked close to mature trees that have grown heavy over the decades. The clay soil holds moisture, and the wind off the lake can push a canopy hard during a storm. Properties are tight—driveways are short, utility lines run overhead, and every limb that overhangs a house or a view matters.
Our crew shows up with a chipper and a stump grinder on a trailer that fits the narrow lanes. We hand-carry gear down slopes when a truck can't reach the tree. We rig ropes to lower limbs away from decks and windows, and we rake and blow every chip before we leave. Because we work Lago Vista and Point Venture daily, we know which roads have low-hanging branches and which lots need a second truck for haul-off. We keep the job clean and the access clear.
David Espinoza Tree Service works across Lago Vista, TX & the surrounding Hill Country, so a crew is never far from Point Venture. Call (512) 412-1890 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.
Local demand
What Point Venture homeowners call us for
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Mature live oaks and elms near the lake need regular thinning to reduce wind load and keep limbs off roofs. We prune for structure and view preservation.
Tree Removal
Dead or storm-damaged trees on tight lots require careful rigging to avoid hitting houses, fences, and the steep slopes down to the water. We dismantle in sections.
Stump Grinding & Root Removal
Shallow limestone and clay make grinding stumps a common request after removals. We grind below grade so new grass or a patio can go in without a bump.
Emergency Tree Service
Lake windstorms can split a limb or topple a whole oak onto a dock or roof. We respond quickly to stabilize the tree and clear the hazard.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Point Venture
Dead Cedar Removal from a Slope
A hillside lot is choked with dead cedars that pose a fire risk. We cut them at the base, haul the trunks out by hand, and chip the brush on site.
Stump Grinding After a Removal
After a tree is taken down close to the driveway, we grind the stump eight inches below grade. The area is then backfilled with soil and seeded.

Where we work
Across Point Venture
Lakeshore Drive
Homes along this winding road sit close to the water with steep banks. Work here involves lowering limbs over the bluff and clearing debris without disturbing the shoreline or the neighbors' docks.
The Point Venture Golf Course
Trees along the fairways and near the clubhouse need regular trimming to keep play safe and views open. We work around tee times and keep the course clean.
Town Centre & Outlying Lots
The central area near the marina has older homes with overgrown canopies. Outlying acreage lots have cedars and brush that need clearing for fire safety and pasture maintenance.
