A homeowner in Hollins, VA, was worried about their backyard trees. The problem wasn’t just the size of the trees. It was where they stood. Several tall pines were packed into a narrow section of the backyard, boxed in by a fence and a shed, and shedding needles and pinecones everywhere. Professional tree removal was in order to protect the property.
Given the location and height of the trees, this was a complex job, so the homeowner contacted Integrity Tree Service for help, knowing that they’d bring the expertise to do it right.
When Tall Pines Become a Property Risk
- Client Profile: Homeowner
- Location: Hollins, VA
- Type of Service: Tree removal
- Duration: Six hours
- Service Frequency: One-time service
- Season: Spring
- Client Preferences: The client had a group of tall pine trees in the backyard that they wanted removed due to their size and proximity to the fence, shed, and surrounding property. Because of the trees’ height and the limited work area, the crew used a lift to carefully dismantle sections from the top down, ensuring no damage to nearby structures. This project was completed in early spring, when the trees were actively shedding debris and required safe, controlled removal.
- Tree Type: Pine
Working in a Tight Backyard Calls for Precision, Not Guesswork
The client’s property didn’t leave much room to work. There was no safe way to drop full trees without risking damage.
Integrity Tree Service approached the project with a highly controlled removal strategy. Dropping the trees in full sections wasn’t an option because a miscalculation could send a trunk straight onto a fence panel or worse.
The crew used a lift to access the upper sections of each tree safely and control every movement. They worked from the top down, starting with trimming to manage large branches, then cutting the trunks into sections. This approach eliminated the guesswork and prevented damage to the fence and the shed.
It took six hours for the crew to remove the pine trees, so they reserved stump grinding for a future visit. Removing the pines eliminated a recurring debris problem and reduced the risk of storm damage cleanup or emergency tree services later on.

By the end of the day, the hazardous pine trees were gone, and the backyard had significantly more usable space.
