Posted on DJ JD We had a large maple tree removed and the stump ground down. The tree was close to our home and the team did a great job. We were very pleased with the job done.Posted on Guy H. Fisher Great work great service! Thank youPosted on Brittany Hudson Have used Brice and and his crew on several of our jobs. They have always gotten the job done right in a timely manner. Would highly recommend for good good quality tree service.Posted on David Jero I don’t normally go out of my way to give reviews. But I just had the best experience with Fonville Tree service. From the time I called for their service till the job was completed was professional and reasonable. I highly recommend and will use them again in the future.Posted on Glenn Foley Posted on Natalie Gibson-Corrigan We couldn’t be happier with the Fonville team’s work. We had about 7 trees removed… all were in areas where extreme caution had to be taken (our house, neighbor’s house, road, etc.). This team took so much care in their approach. Their prices are very reasonable and they cleaned up after perfectly. I have had many trees removed in the past, this team was by far the best!Posted on Rama Chandran We needed to trim and remove several trees in our backyard to allow more sunlight and clean up dead branches or diseased trees. After getting a few estimates, Fonville TS gave us the most reasonable quote. Brice, who is the son of the owner, was prompt in answering all my questions and gave us a schedule that was most suitable not only for us but also for 2 of our neighbors who also decided to get service on the same day. Brice and his crew showed up promptly on schedule with all the gear needed to cut, chip, and clean up everything before they left. The crew not only worked efficiently but was also very careful not to cause any damage to the rest of the property. They also neatly stacked a large amount of logs for our use and neatly gathered all the chips for mulch in our backyard. We are very satisfied with the cost, quality, and professionalism of the services provided by Fonville Tree Services and will use them again when the need arises. I would recommend them highly for any big or small tree servicesPosted on Jamie Lynch We contacted Fonville Tree Service to do some tree removal and tree trimming. We live on a golf course and have a very pretty view but over the years it’s gotten overgrown and we wanted to be able to see the water. We have contacted other tree services and they say they will come out and give a quote and then never come or call. Fonville was very responsive and was able to get us scheduled within a week. The price was reasonable and fair and the work was done meticulously with a lot of attention to detail. I highly recommend them and would use them again.Posted on Bryan Woodlief These guys were working across the street. I had a palm tree trunk that I needed removed. They took care of it immediately for us! Great job!Posted on Helen Nowlan-Walls Prompt, friendly, polite, and did a great job. Highly recommend.

Warning signs
Is your tree a hazard?
Sudden Leaning or Shifting
If a tree has recently started leaning or the soil around the base looks lifted or cracked, the root system may be failing. Trees rarely “correct themselves.” A shifting tree can fall without warning, especially during storms or high winds.
Dead or Falling Limbs
Large dead branches in the canopy are more than an eyesore. They are unpredictable and can drop without notice. Deadwood often signals internal decay or structural weakness, especially after heavy rain or storm damage.
Cracks, Cavities, or Splits in the Trunk
Visible cracks or hollow areas in the trunk reduce structural integrity. Even if the tree looks healthy from a distance, internal decay can make it unstable. Structural splits often worsen under wind stress.
Fungal Growth at the Base
Mushrooms or fungal growth around the root flare can indicate root rot. When roots begin to decay, the tree loses its anchor and stability. Root damage is one of the most common hidden causes of tree failure.
