THE NECESSITY OF TREE REMOVAL

We value our urban forests and do our best to keep our cities’ trees healthy. Unfortunately some trees need to be removed and have their own specific challenges. Trees that are towering over your house, as big around as your car or hanging over a busy road may take special care to remove safely..

There are some signs that a tree needs to go. If the tree is dead, diseased, causing structural damage, has roots growing into a sewer line or threatening a power line it may need to be removed. We can guide, help and give you all your options to help you decide.

• Crew members climb up and begin removing limbs starting from the top down. Larger limbs are cut into smaller pieces and eased down to the ground by using ropes. This allows us to safely control their descent. The Smaller branches are also removed from the outside edges of the canopy, back to the main trunk. Once the tree trunk is all that remains the crew then begins removing the smaller sections of the trunk from the top down, until it becomes short enough to cut as low as possible.

• The tree trunk is cut as low as possible, usually only a few inches above grade. Depending on the size of the tree trunk, our Certified Arborists can discuss stump grinding options with you.
• When tree removal is necessary, our highly trained crews arrive on site with years of experience. Essential to this experience is the mastery the crew demonstrates when rigging ropes. We use ropes to attach to the climber’s harness, and also to guide limbs safely to the ground. Rigging makes the removal process safe, smooth, and efficient. The crew is able to take down trees of all shapes and sizes – be it an enormous tree in a tight space, over a roof, over a pool, or simply out in an open yard. Our experienced crews can carefully and remove almost any tree from almost any location.

• The debris pile left after a tree has been taken down can be surprisingly large, but we believe in seeing the job all the way through. Texas Tree Surgeons includes debris haul off with all of our removals.

 If you would like any of the tree limbs left on site for your personal use (e.g. firewood) just let us know, we are happy to help!
