We had a major tree removal project and they provided excellent work. Overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommend for thorough, quality work from friendly people to work with.
Second time using Fonville. They removed three 100-foot trees very close to the house. Top notch service and the prices were dead on. Prompt communication, fast and thorough, and they actually left the backyard cleaner than when they arrived.
Fonville Tree Service did excellent tree removal work. Fast response, clear estimate, and a fair quote. The skilled team used proper equipment and a crane, and the results were clean. Reliable company with efficient service.
A maple tree in our backyard fell during a heavy wind gust the night before. I called Fonville the next morning and they were out the same day. The price was very reasonable and the guys did a wonderful job.
Fonville Tree Service did excellent work removing a tree at my home in Raleigh. They were professional and efficient from start to finish. Would definitely use them again.
Fast, friendly service. They were thoughtful of the property and made sure there was no damage as they removed several problem trees and limbs. Their cleanup left no mess behind, and they even picked up trimmings they did not create.
We have used Brice and his crew on several of our jobs. They have always gotten the job done right and in a timely manner. Would highly recommend them for good quality tree service.
We could not be happier with the Fonville team. We had about seven trees removed, all in spots where extreme caution was needed near the house, the neighbor, and the road. This team took so much care in their approach.
These guys were great. Fonville did a walk through of the property in advance and arrived when they said they would. They were very careful doing delicate limb removal around the house and took down a couple of 90-foot trees.

Warning signs
Is Your Tree a Hazard? Warning Signs That Require Immediate Assessment
Sudden Leaning or Shifting
If a tree has started leaning or the soil around its base looks lifted or cracked, the root system may be failing and the tree can fall without warning in a storm.
Dead or Falling Limbs
Large dead branches can drop without notice and often signal 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, and internal decay can make even a healthy-looking tree unstable under wind stress.
Fungal Growth at the Base
Mushrooms or fungal growth around the root flare can signal root rot, which causes the tree to lose its anchor and is a common hidden cause of tree failure.
If any of these conditions are present on your property, contact our emergency tree service for same-day evaluation.
