Our Story

Founded on the belief that expertise belongs on-site.

Leatherface Tree Service is a Dallas based, full-scale tree service that takes the guesswork out of your tree projects. Our intimate operation was established in 2008 by ISA Certified Arborist Richard Lavery.

Don't settle for qualified sales people who talk the talk but are not around on your service day. With Leatherface Tree Service you talk to a qualified arborist who shows up when the work is being performed.

From your initial consultation to the execution of the job, your trees are in the hands of ISA Certified Arborist, Richard Lavery. Leatherface Tree Service goes above and beyond to ensure quality work and is on site at every job usually performing the work himself. This means that any work done on your trees will be handled professionally and guarantees your work is done right.

Specializing in crane assisted tree removal, emergency tree removal, and tree trimming services in accordance with ANSI A300 Standards. When we're not climbing trees for work we're training for ISA Tree Climbing Competitions -- including competing at the International Tree Climbing Championship in Denmark.

Our Vision

What we stand for.

01

Certified Arborist On-Site

The use of a certified arborist on site, usually performing the work himself. Not a sales team -- the expert.

02

You Don't Pay for Overhead

Low business overhead that saves our clients money. We stay small so the owner stays involved in every aspect.

Only What You Need

Our professionals stay current through continuing education credits from the International Society of Arboriculture and active competition climbing.
