Exceptional, Expert Pruning by Leatherface Tree Service Service Provided: Pruning and end-weight reduction of two very large oak trees. I cannot recommend Leatherface Tree Service highly enough for their work on our two massive oak trees. From start to finish, their team demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and respect for the trees that is truly rare. The Challenge: Our two heritage oaks had developed long, heavy limbs that were a concern during high winds. Our primary goal was to reduce the risk of failure while absolutely preserving the natural health and structure of the trees. We were adamant that we did not want "lions-tailing" – a harmful practice where interior branches are stripped, leaving all the weight at the ends and making trees more susceptible to storm damage. Leatherface understood our concerns. Their arborist took the time to explain how end-weight reduction would achieve our goals by strategically shortening the longer limbs back to appropriate lateral branches, reducing the leverage and stress on the entire limb. This method encourages healthy growth and maintains the tree's structural integrity. The use of their tracked lift was great. It allowed them to access the canopy with precision without causing any damage to our landscaped yard. The operator ISA certified arborist Richard Lavery was incredibly skilled, maneuvering the lift with the care needed to for the perfect cuts. The Results: The difference is remarkable. The trees look balanced and natural. You can tell they were pruned by a true expert who understands tree biology. There are no stubs, no torn bark, and critically, no lions-tailing. The interior canopy is still full and healthy .They did an immaculate job cleaning up; you would never know a major tree service had been working here except for the fact that our oaks look healthier and safer. Final Thoughts: If you are looking for a tree service that prioritizes the long-term health of your trees over quick, easy, and damaging practices, look no further. Leatherface Tree Service is knowledgeable, professional, and exceptionally skilled. They are true arborists, not just tree cutters. They earned our trust completely, and they will be our first call for any future tree care needs. Highly Recommended.

Exceptional Care from a True Professional Service Provided: Pruning and repair of wind-damaged trees. My front tree had been cabled and bolted after a storm had damaged it and I wanted proper pruning to ensure they grew properly and were healthy. Leatherface Tree Service stood out immediately because the owner and certified arborist who came to give the estimate was the same person who would be doing the work—the climber himself. This made all the difference. During the consultation, he didn't just give a price; he gave a masterclass in tree biology. He pointed out the specific stresses the wind had caused, explained which limbs were compromised and why, and outlined a precise plan to safely remove the damaged sections while preserving the long-term health and structure of the trees. His knowledge was profound and his passion for proper arboriculture was evident. On the day of the job, his skill as a climber was something to behold. He worked with incredible efficiency and care, making complex cuts look easy. Because he was the same person who assessed the trees, there was no disconnect between the plan and the execution. He knew every branch he had quoted, and his surgical precision ensured that only the necessary material was removed. The results are fantastic. The trees look balanced and natural, and most importantly, they are now much safer. The team was clean, professional, and respectful of the property. You often hear about companies where a salesman shows up and a different crew does the work. With Leatherface, you get an expert from start to finish. It was the best care we could have asked for, and I wouldn't trust my trees to anyone else. Highly, highly recommended.
