Tree Removal in Plano
This red oak tree was planted in 1977 by our long time customer Marilyn. Unfortunately she needed to have it removed this year due to a large split. The tree is hanging over the house and is partially leaning in the adjacent tree, (which she also planted). The red oaks dbh (diameter, breast, height) reached a whopping 45″. To remove this tree it took two days, and then a third to grind the stump and backfill.
Marilyn was sad to see her tree gone, but relieved it was done in a safe and timely manner.

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.
TCIA & ISA GUIDELINES
We strictly adhere to TCIA & ISA guidelines in order to ensure everything we do is safe and in the best interest of your trees. By getting your tree assessed by our team of ISA certified arborists and trimmed by one of our skilled crews is the best way to ensure that your tree lives a long and healthy life.
PROTECTING PROPERTY FROM DAMAGE
Using climbing line to secure branches while trimming is important to keep your property and climbers safe. They are able to control the branches descent and place it gently onto the ground below.
MEASURING DBH
The best way to approximate the size of a tree is to measure their dbh, (diameter, breast, height). This enables our arborists to estimate the amount needed for Tree Health Care products or pricing for Tree Removal.
RIGGING TO SAFELY REMOVE LARGE FALLEN LIMBS
This large red oak had split and fallen over the owners house and into the tree adjacent to it. By using rigging our crews are able to guide large limbs out of precarious locations in a safe and efficient manner.
LARGE LIMB BEING LOWERED
When a tree or large limb is being removed, it is roped off and lowered to the ground so nothing is damaged in the process. Our work is done by trained tree climbers with specialized equipment.
SAFETY FIRST
To ensure a safe work environment groundsmen will clear excess debris intermittently while tree trimming or removal takes place. Clearing the site as the tree is trimmed also ensures jobs are done in a timely manner.
RIGGING IN LARGE TREES
Our crews use ropes designed specifically for tree care because they must be able to withstand friction against the tree and be able to hold hundreds of pounds.
LARGE TREE REMOVAL
We only work with highly skilled teams of climbers and groundsmen who are experienced in technical tree work. In addition Texas Tree Surgeons is insured and bonded for your protection.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Our goal when we leave a job site is to leave it looking better than how we found it. That means picking up any debris that were created when trimming or removing a tree.
FULL CLEAN-UP
To ensure a job is completed quickly groundsmen will haul away brush intermittently while trimming or removal happens to keep the site clear and safe to move around. Groundsmen will chip the material on-site as needed to make sure all debris is collected and removed at the end of the job.
COMPLETE DEBRIS REMOVAL
At Texas Tree Surgeons we include debris haul off with all of our trim and removals. If you would like any of the wood left on site for your personal use (e.g. firewood) just let us know, we are happy to help.
