"I cannot say enough good things about this company! They were everything an outstanding company should be - great communication, prompt, friendly, did an excellent job trimming our huge silver maple, and above-and-beyond on clean-up afterwards. Jose and his crew trimmed our silver maple which grows very near our house and next to our privacy fence. They cut off two large branches (2.5 ft in diameter), both which went over our rooftop. They did an exemplary job and without any damage to our roof, house, fence, and patio. If you are looking for tree service, I am confident you will not find a better company! We will definitely use 5hem again!"

"Great family business. Came out right away following Austin Ice Storm. Professional Arborists with all of the equipment on hand, they went to work and within a few hours the job was complete! In addition to the massive clean up and haul off of debris, they even cut up and moved large pieces of wood and stacked it for us. Would highly recommend."

"I hired them to remove a hanging tree branch tangled in power lines and while they were there to get the debris pile out of my yard. They had a low bid and they were able to get to me the same day! They told me they also do landscaping. I’ll probably be hiring them again in the future. Oh, and they didn’t just get the debris pile, they raked all the sticks up from the whole yard!"

Was a slight delay because of bad weather but very prompt as soon as the weather permitted. I felt it was a little pricey but they

did quality work for their money. Owners and workers were professional and courteous. Would use them again if needed.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
