Red Oak Removal in Richardson
Trees are a part of the home, and sometimes even a part of the family. From seedling, sapling, mature, through to decline, we witness the cycle of life parallel to our own. Our customer Nora needed to have her red oak removed due to the tree becoming at risk to fail, and possibly injuring people or her property.
The tree had multiple stressors; split, sun scald, Hypoxylon Canker, and borers. As our team removed the tree Nora was kind enough to share photos of her family with the red oak.
Dying trees become increasingly weak and brittle which presents many safety concerns. Our arborists are ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified and every time they do an estimate, services are recommended based on their findings. For this specific tree removal was the only safe option.
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.
This customer choose to have the city haul debris instead of having our crew remove from site. The city of Richardson will haul brush debris from the curb if scheduled beforehand.

HIGHLY SKILLED CLIMBERS
Our crews are comprised of individuals with different areas of expertise. Our highly skilled climbers use several types of PPE to keep them safe while in the canopies of the trees.
INSURED AND BONDED
Our crews work together to come up with the best plan to safely remove trees from a site. All of our employees train under a Certified Arborist to ensure best practices are always followed.
CLIMBING LINE & DRT
Safety for our climbers and your property is important to us at Texas Tree Surgeons. Our climbers use climbing line (specially designed rope) and use DRT (Double Rope Technique) to help them move safely within the tree canopy.
TEAMWORK
Our arborist and foremen work together to ensure work done on your trees is done correctly and safely. Our entire team; arborists, foremen, and groundsmen strictly follow TCIA and ISA guidelines.
RED OAK LIMB SECURED WITH LINE
A customer's red oak tree's limb failed and fell onto the homeowners steel carport. This large limb blocked the driveway and was hanging into the neighbors yard. Raul and his crew worked together to remove the limb safely and quickly without the aide of a crane. Cranes are sometimes used when trees are deemed too unsafe to climb. Issues with cranes is that they require a lost of space and increase the price of tree work.
ACCESSING DAMAGE
Understanding and evaluating weakness in the tree prior to doing emergency tree work is important to know because it will eliminate further risk to property and workers during the process. Trees with different defects need to be removed differently for safety. Our foremen have the expertise in determining if we can safely remove broken limbs or trees without a crane.
CLIMBING LINE & DRT
Safety for our climbers and your property is important to us at Texas Tree Surgeons. When damage has already incurred from limb failure it is important to mitigate further damage. Our climbers use climbing line (specially designed rope) and use DRT (Double Rope Technique) to help them move safely and support broken limbs so they can be safely lowered with control.
EXPERIENCED CLIMBERS
At Texas Tree Surgeons we specialize in working with experienced climbers that are able to make very specific controlled cuts to maintain safety and reduce damage. Most of our foremen have been with Texas Tree Surgeons for over a decade.
LOWERING LIMB WITH CONTROL
Our foremen Raul and his crew lowering a massive red oak limb that had fallen on top of a carport. To be able to lower the limb with control Raul secured the limb with rope, removed excess weight, and cut notches at the break point.
