Arlington Tree Planting

EXPERT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLSET

We begin by choosing the best trees. Every tree is inspected closely by our arborists to ensure the best stock is installed at your property. 

CUSTOMIZED PLANNING FOR YOUR LANDSCAPE

Prior to planting your new tree an arborist will work with you to find the best location on your property to optimize tree health and growth once installed. Depending on the size of the tree and how long ago the tree was removed from a spot will determine if that location can be used to replant.

ENCOURAGING HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT

If needed, we will do structural pruning to ensure your tree grows beautifully. Prior to arrival we ensure all trees that are selected have healthy dominate stems.

PROPER PLANTING TECHNIQUES

The key to successful tree planting starts from the ground up. Digging the right hole is essential for the tree's success—it's not too deep and wide enough to support proper root growth.

BREAKING APART ROOT BALL


It may look alarming but it is important to break apart the root ball so the roots are able to grow outwards instead of wrapping around itself. Their roots have been bound in a container for a long time and need to be trained to grow outward.

ROOT PRUNING


Root pruning is essential in establishing healthy roots when planting trees. Removing problematic girdling roots ensures healthy trees from the ground up.

PROPER HOLE DEPTH AND WIDTH

We plant the tree in the ground and take great care to ensure that the tree is at the correct depth and is straight. 

BACKFILL WITH SOIL & WATER

Now that the tree has been installed we backfill with water to help the soil settle and secure the tree's roots into the ground. If the tree is properly planted there will not be a need for stakes to keep it in place.

MULCH

Our crew will then mulch the tree, making sure to create a bowl shape to protect the base. Be careful not to let the mulch pile up around the trunk, as it can harm the tree and void the warranty.

PROPER WATERING TECHNIQUE

Before leaving we do one more final soaking once the tree has been planted. We will also leave a detailed care guide and a 5 gallon blue bucket with soaker holes to help you water your tree properly. Watering your tree with two buckets full every other day for the first two weeks will set your tree up for long-term growth.

Texas Tree Surgeons has been taking care of my live oaks for many years. They are healthy and look great. We get them trimmed back from the house periodically which has helped keep the squirrels at bay. They do a great job shaping them. I love the shade they provide in the heat of summer (which seems to last a long time these days). We get them trimmed up and ready for Christmas lights this time of year as well. They look spectacular. Thanks to Kelly and the team at Texas Tree Surgeons!

Tree issues in the area where we live are a BIG issues! I was heartbroken when we had to have our live oak in our front yard cut down in 2022 - it had been choking itself for years because the sack over the root ball had not been not removed when it was planted at the build of the house. Consequently, our front yard sprinkler issues were solved when the stump was being reduced- the main sprinkler box had been consumed by the tree because it had been tossed in the same hole dug for the tree!😳 So, taking care of our other live oak in our back yard has been important to us! Choosing the right tree trimming service wasn’t just a matter of price. We wanted a service that could help us make decisions for the health & longevity of the tree as well as keeping the limbs a safe distance from our roof & house. After interviewing several services, we elected to use Texas Tree Surgeons. They weren’t the cheapest, but they were competitive in price. Our Texas Tree Surgeons experience started with Kay, who’s been on the arborilogical space for 20+ years. She came to look at our tree & even came back when we called her to go over more questions we ended up having due to a nut sap issue our tree was experiencing. Kay was extremely knowledgable & taught us as she told us.💚 The communication was outstanding- we got text updates & a ‘heads up’ text to let us know the trimming crew was on the way this morning. The lead trimmer, Daniel, & his 3 man crew, were excellent! They kept the limbs directed away from the house & off the deck with experienced ease & worked with us as they went along, taking off a few additional branches we elected to be cut. I greatly appreciated Daniel’s knowledge & ongoing communication & discussion, even recommending not to make a few cuts for the health of the tree. They came with a mulcher on-site & their cleanup was excellent, too. Our tree looks amazing & opened up our deck space! We feel like we can breathe out on our deck again! Fall is the best time for tree trimming to help keep disease at bay. We highly recommend Texas Tree Surgeons!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from the owner:Marti, thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are heart broken to hear too that the tree that was taken down, never had a chance. Proper planting and care are the foundation for the vitality of a tree. Kay is a rare gem of an arborist, with so much experience and care in the work she does. Our team works together to bring the best care possible to trees. Thanks for choosing us to care for your tree! We ❤️🌳 and happy customers!

Superior, smooth service. Efficient and thorough from initial consultation with their arborist to the last branch removal.

The crew did an amazing job! They were professional and gave excellent customer service! I was extremely pleased with how all the trees looked after the trimming. They addressed my questions, when finished they thoroughly cleaned my yard and all areas impacted. My impacted neighbors were also complimented how they cleaned up and the overall job! They wanted the tree company information for future service. Thanks again for a job well done…

Very happy with their service. Filled out a form online over the weekend and included pictures, they responded the same day and let me know the process. Came out a few days later to assess, then emailed me a quote. Pricing was very reasonable for the size of the tree. Let them know I wanted to move forward and they came out the following week and cut it down. All of this was done without any need for me to take off work, which was a huge plus for me. Will certainly use them in the future and highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks for choosing us to care for your tree! We are so happy that you were satisfied with our service. Time is a valuable asset and we are glad we were able to assist without having to disrupt your busy schedule. We look forward to assisting you again in the future. We ❤️🌳 and happy customers!

We had a great experience with Texas Tree Surgeons and will definitely use them again. We have three very large Red Oak trees, and after having some sizable limbs fall, we knew it was time to have them professionally evaluated and trimmed. We received three quotes, and Texas Tree Surgeons was within about 8% of the lowest. They weren't the cheapest, but after talking with the team, we felt much more comfortable with their knowledge and approach, and that was easily worth the small difference in price. What impressed us most was that they didn't just look at the trees from the ground and start cutting. They evaluated which limbs actually needed to come down and considered the health and stability of the tree before making those decisions. They recommended leaving some branches that were healthy and weren't likely to create problems, while removing others where they found damage or rot. It felt like we were paying for knowledgeable tree care, not simply someone to cut branches. The actual work was just as impressive. They arrived with a well-organized crew, completed the job in about two hours, and hauled away everything they trimmed. Considering the size of the trees and limbs they were working with, we were impressed with how efficiently they handled the job and left everything cleaned up afterward. We are very happy with the results and would recommend Texas Tree Surgeons without hesitation, especially for anyone with large, mature trees where proper care really matters.
Response from the owner:We deeply appreciate you taking the time to leave a detailed review and experience with our team. Our ISA certified arborists enjoy taking the time in sharing their deep knowledge in tree care and advising whats best for you and your trees. Our goal is to always leave trees looking naturally beautiful and structurally strong. We are so glad you were satisfied with work that was done. We ❤️🌳 and happy customers!
