Service Area
Canopy work for the moss-heavy oaks that shade Leesburg's older streets and lakefront lots along the Harris Chain.
Leesburg is about a 25-minute drive from Weirsdale, and it's one of the older, more established towns in our service area. A lot of the neighborhoods near the Harris Chain of Lakes were built decades ago around trees that were already mature — big live oaks and laurel oaks heavy with Spanish moss, with root systems and canopies that have had a long time to spread. That's part of what makes the area beautiful, and it's also why we get more calls here about limbs hanging over a roof or crowding a dock than almost anywhere else we work.
Lakefront lots add their own wrinkle: lots here are often narrower than they look on paper, with a seawall, dock, or bulkhead we have to protect, and sometimes tighter equipment access than a typical suburban yard. We walk every lakefront property before we bring anything in, so we know exactly where the drop zone is and where the water starts. On the older, tree-lined streets further from the water, most of our work is straightforward clearance and structural trimming — keeping limbs off the roofline without stripping the canopy that makes those streets what they are.

Common questions
We clear back the limbs over the roofline and thin the canopy so it's not dragging on shingles or dropping leaf litter into the gutters every season. If the tree is structurally sound, a clearance trim usually solves it — removal is only the answer when the tree itself is compromised.
Lakefront lots around the Harris Chain are often narrower and tighter to the water than they look, with a dock, seawall, or bulkhead to protect. We walk the access route with you before we bring in any equipment and rig carefully near the shoreline so nothing ends up in the water.
