My husband and I have used Fanning Tree Services a couple of times now in 5 years. Dave never ever disappoints! Great work, communicates very well, reasonable in price. Our property has steep slopes and his crew felled several trees on the first visit, some huge oaks, near the house. This last visit, Dave responded quickly and removed a very dangerous dead pine tree and I would estimate was 100 feet tall and about 30 feet from the house. Thank you, Dave. We are happy customers.

WOW!! I called on Wednesday for an estimate, had written estimate in hand before end of the day, and tree removal started next day. I had 2 huge pines that were taken down in a day and a half and all clean up was finished before we knew it. So thankful for the work the crew did and the peace of mind I have knowing those trees are gone. If you are needing tree service, do not hesitate to call Fanning, they do excellent work!! (picture of my husband for size reference)
David and Kim are fantastic. It’s remarkable to watch them work. They took down 2 huge pecan trees and a giant cedar tree. David takes down a tree the old fashioned way. He climbs the tree and takes it down limb by limb from the top. He’s amazing!
I had two trees that I wanted cut down and removal of one of them.They were near a road and another house and power lines and there wasn’t anything done wrong. If you want a couple that are hard workers and do what they say, then service is for you. I have two more to get down and I will be calling on them. Very personable , professional and very trustworthy!!!! Very good prices also!!! Give them a try if you have trees you need gone.
