Tree service in Forest and eastern Bedford County
Tree help for the fast-growing suburbs west of Lynchburg, from Forest and Boonsboro out toward New London.
Forest is a census-designated place in eastern Bedford County, about ten miles southwest of downtown Lynchburg, with 11,709 residents in 2020. It's home to Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest and neighborhoods like Ivy Hill, and much of it is subdivisions cut out of wooded land.
Wooded lots and leftover trees
A lot of Forest homes were built on land that was cleared just enough for the house, leaving tall trees close to new foundations. Years later, those edge trees can lose roots to grading, driveways and utility trenches, which shows up as dieback at the top and dead limbs. A tree that seems fine from the ground may have been damaged during construction.
Bigger lots, different equipment
Larger lots out here often leave room to fell a tree or bring in a lift or a grinder through the side yard, which can make removals simpler than in town. Ask the crew to plan around septic tanks and drainfields, which are common on homes outside public sewer, so heavy machines don't crush them.
Common jobs
- Removing pines and hardwoods left too close to the house
- Lot clearing for additions, sheds and pools
- Grinding stumps left from construction
- Storm cleanup along wooded property lines
