Tree service in Lynchburg
Tree removal and trimming across the Hill City, from the old neighborhoods above the James to the newer subdivisions out toward Wards Road.
Lynchburg is an independent city, not part of any county, with 79,009 residents at the 2020 census. It sits along the James River and is known as the City of Seven Hills, after College Hill, Garland Hill, Daniel's Hill, Federal Hill, Diamond Hill, White Rock Hill and Franklin Hill.
Old trees on steep streets
Historic districts like Rivermont, Garland Hill, Federal Hill and Daniel's Hill have mature canopy, tight lots, stone walls and homes built close to the street. Removals there are often done piece by piece with rigging or a crane, and parking a truck can mean working around on-street parking and narrow lanes.
City trees vs. yard trees
The city's Department of Public Works handles street trees and park trees, and has an urban forester on staff. It has pruned hundreds of street trees and planted new ones in recent years with state and federal grant help. If the tree in question is between the curb and the sidewalk, contact the city before hiring anyone.
Ash in the city
Lynchburg started finding wood-boring beetles in city ash trees in 2017 and removed more than 100 ash trees from rights-of-way and parks by 2020. Many private yards still have ash that's dying or already dead.
