"After talking to six other companies, I decided to give Elite Arborist a try. Carlos came out to give an estimate on laying new sod and redoing the stonework around a tree in my front yard. He was punctual and listened carefully to what I wanted. He told me all the things his company does and how they could make my vision a reality. We ended up agreeing to the work as well as pruning the large oak tree we have. On the day of the project, the sod was delivered 6:30 a.m. and the crew arrived an hour later. I was impressed how they put out orange cones around the area for neighbors’ visual safety. Carlos introduced me to the crew supervisor, Rocky. Throughout the day, Rocky kept me informed about what they were doing and progress. He patiently answered all my questions and reassured me that I would be pleased with the results. I was very impressed with the attention to detail to the stonework around the tree, the meticulous way they prepped to lay the sod and the expertise of tree pruning. They took great care in making sure they left may yard and surrounding areas, i.e., street very clean. By the end of the day, my front yard was transformed and had great curb appeal. Plus, the Oak tree really stands out. Carlos also sent me information on after care and fertilization of the sod. I’m very happy with the results. I paid a little more than I expected but it was well worth it. When it comes to landscaping professionals, Elite Arborist is the company you need. These guys are fantastic. They have a true passion for what they do and are very professional. I highly recommend this company. Their work is top notch."

"Shawn came out and gave us a quote then we hired them for next day service. The trees were trimmed along the roof line and they were done around three hours. Perfect. The crew came in a couple times to make sure everything looked OK and did touchups as we asked. No fuss, great job cleaned up all the trimmed branches as well! Totally recommend!"

"I had several trees in need of trimming and shaping. The crew was on time, efficient, and got right to work. They work as a team. My neighbor observed their work and hired them to trim a HUGE tree in her yard. Two Climbers exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to hire them again."

"Cristian Tree Service did an outstanding job taking care of trimming trees and bushes as well as removing some really tough bushes that we wanted removed. They stump ground everything we requested them to do, and even went above and beyond when we asked them to haul off some rocks and wood that we did not want anymore. My husband and I will continue using them for our our tree services going forward. Everyone in the group worked very hard and provided excellent customer service. On top of all the great and excellent work, my husband and I found them to be the most reasonably priced. Thank you again."

"Daniel and his team are really timely, efficient quick and for a great price! As of 12/26/22 we realized had a post oak in our backyard literally leaning against our house. Thank God no damage to the house but still it was detached at the root and needed to be removed asap. Texas Tree Tops came in clutch. Daniel came out within the hour to assess and give us an estimate. He was professional and listened. It was a pleasure to have Daniel and his team resolve our tree problem. They even left my backyard and roof looking better than it was when they arrived! I believe we have found our go to arborists for future projects. Thank you Texas Tree Tops!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.
