Owner & Operator

Bill Fisher

"At Friendly's, we treat you right."

Who We Are

A local crew, not a call center.

Friendly Tree Service is based right here in Martinsville — not a lead-generation website, not a truck from three counties over. When you call, you're talking to the people who'll actually show up in your yard.

Owner Bill Fisher started the company on a simple idea: treat every property like it's his own, quote a fair price up front, and don't leave until it's done right. That's still how the crew runs every job today, from a single overhanging limb to a full property cleanup after a storm.

What We Do

Tree work, handled the right way.

Every job starts with a straight answer and a fair price — then we bring the right equipment and the right people to get it done safely, quietly, and cleanly.

Tree Removal

When a tree has to come down, it comes down safely.

Dead, diseased, storm-weakened, or just too close to the house — we take down trees of any size, in tight spaces, without putting your roof, fence, or neighbor's yard at risk. Every removal includes full cleanup: logs, brush, and sawdust hauled away, not left in a pile by the curb.

  • Free on-site estimate with a written price
  • Careful rigging near houses, power lines & fences
  • Full cleanup — nothing left behind but a clear yard
  • Licensed, insured crew for jobs of any size

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Pruned right, not just cut back.

Good trimming is about more than looks. We shape canopies, remove deadwood, and clear branches away from your roof and power lines using cuts that keep the tree healthy — not hacked-back stubs that cause problems two years down the road.

  • Proper cuts that protect long-term tree health
  • Canopy shaping, thinning & deadwood removal
  • Clearance from roofs, siding & power lines
  • Debris & logs removed from lawn

Brush & Property Cleanup

Clear the mess. Reclaim the yard.

Overgrown brush, fallen limbs, unwanted saplings, and years of accumulated debris can take over a property fast. We clear it out, haul it away, and leave you with usable ground again — whether you're cleaning up a backyard, opening up a fence line, or getting a property back under control.

  • Brush, limbs & debris removal
  • Small tree & sapling removal
  • Fence line & property edge clearing
  • Full cleanup and haul-away

"We had an excellent experience with Friendly's Tree Service! From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and super efficient. They took down two trees for us, including one dangerously close to our home and another with roots affecting our septic system. Not only did they complete the job in a timely manner, but they also cleaned up thoroughly along the way, leaving our yard in good shape! The weather wasn't always in their favor but they still got the job done! We're really happy with the service and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of tree removal. A top-notch company that truly lives up to its name!"

"Fast response, very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Friendly Tree Service. I had called 4 other tree removal companies and never received a return call in over 5 days. I contacted Friendly TS and they called within 15 minutes. Came to the site the next day and then safely removed my badly split oak tree. I know who to call in the future!"

"I highly recommend Friendly Tree Service! I contacted Mr. Fisher regarding some very large dead branches that were hanging over my house. He did an estimate and came back and completed the work all within a week. His price was fair, he cleaned up afterwards, and did a great job! The other employee that was helping was also very kind. It’s hard to find excellent customer service however Friendly Tree Service provides just that."

"We had a very large tree come down during a storm. It just barely missed the house. It fell on our carport driveway. So it was blocking access to the house. I told a friend about it and he put me in touch with Bill of 'Friendly Tree Service'. Bill responded very quickly. Came to the house, assessed the damage. Then he gave me a quote. Not only was he reasonable but he went above and beyond. He trimmed branches of a separate tree that would have been a problem later. Also, removing the roots of the fallen tree. They were prompt, courteous, patient and very professional. A hard working crew. Always cleaned up afterwards. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this company to family, friends and anyone else. If you want it done right the first time, call 'Friendly Tree Service' in Martinsville, VA.! Five star company!"

"Great experience in working with Bill. One of the most dependable folks out there. Shows up on time, explains his plan, and gets the job done. Have had him on multiple jobs over the years."

"Wow I am so pleased with Friendly Tree Service. Really impressed with professionalism, respectfulness & work ethics. I had some trees that needed to be crowned as well as a chestnut tree that was dropping nuts on my roof waking me up at nite. After he did his ‘magic’ I was finally able to get a good nite’s rest. Bill Fisher & his crew work hard to do the best job. Bill takes safety precautions to make sure there is no damage to home or property. Most importantly no one gets hurt. They don’t stop until they have cleaned up all debris & taken it off. I am so happy with the results & reasonable fee. So recommend Friendly Tree Service. Give him a call you can thank me later, LOL!"
