Armstrong Tree Service Projects Gallery

Every job in this gallery, from lakefront cabins in Tahoma to hillside homes above Kingsbury, reflects the same standard: safe, precise work that leaves a property healthier and better protected. You'll see before and after shots of hazardous tree removals near Stateline, pruning jobs and crown thinning over rooflines in Meyers, and stump grinding projects that turn a leftover eyesore into usable yard space again. Many of these photos also show the firewood and wood chips that come out of a typical removal, since very little goes to waste once a tree is down. Zach Armstrong, a Certified Arborist and member of the International Society of Arboriculture, reviews every tricky removal personally, so property owners can trust the plan before a single cut is made. Whether the job is a single leaning pine near a driveway or a multi-tree thinning project across several acres, the same crew handles the cutting, the cleanup, and the hauling from start to finish.

Our photos also cover the seasonal side of the business. Pine needle cleanup is a big part of late summer and fall work around South Lake Tahoe, since heavy needle drop on roofs, gutters, and decks becomes a fire hazard if it's left to pile up for long. You'll find gallery shots of crews clearing needles from steep roof lines near Angora Ridge and raking thick mats of pine duff out of yards before the first snow falls. Once winter sets in, the same crews switch gears to driveway snow removal and residential snow removal, keeping homes in Zephyr Cove, Glenbrook, and Round Hill Village accessible through storm after storm. Property owners in Meeks Bay and Tahoma often ask to see snow removal photos alongside pine needle cleanup shots, since the two services usually go hand in hand for anyone who lives at lake level year round.

A good chunk of the gallery is dedicated to fuels reduction and defensible space clearing, which matters a great deal to property owners throughout the basin given how fast wildfire risk builds in this terrain of dense pine and fir. These photos document the full process, from the initial site walk to the finished, defensible yard, and they're a good reference if you're trying to picture what fuels reduction actually looks like on a property similar to yours. From bark beetle damage along Highway 50 to overgrown brush on steep lots above Cave Rock, these images give a realistic sense of what defensible space work involves before crews ever show up with equipment. You'll find photos of:

If you'd like to see how a specific service might look on your own property, from stump grinding in a tight side yard to a full defensible space clearing on a sloped lot, the gallery is the fastest way to get a feel for it before you ever schedule a visit. Many customers bring a printed photo or a saved screenshot straight from this gallery to their estimate appointment, which makes it easy to talk through options on the spot.
