At Texas Tree Surgeons, our standard Work Proposals include full cleanup and debris haul-off. During storm emergencies we will be not removing any debris due to high volume and limited access to where we can take it.

Yes. In a broad sense, “arborist” can refer to anyone in the tree care field, while an ISA Certified Arborist indicates that an individual has demonstrated both experience in the field of tree care and knowledge of diseases, pests, environmental stressors, plant health care protocols, and other critical areas of arboriculture. To learn more “arborist” vs “certified arborist” and to see our full roster of certified arborists please read our blog.

Mulch is great for covering exposed roots and providing nutrients and insulation for the tree. Do not remove any exposed roots. Doing so will kill your tree.

We will not sell something a tree does not need. Sometimes the best advise is to do nothing. Charging for an arborist consult assumes there is work that must be done at that moment. Best practice is to care for trees over time and to provide our customers information and options for future care.

Currently we do not offer tree planting but we have resources to help you. For our tree planting guide we have a video tutorial here, and you can find written instruction here.

We do not collect payment until after the customer is completely satisfied with our work. When working with a living thing there is a limit of scope coverage. If a customer has concerns about the health of a tree after services are performed we will work together to an agreeable solution.

In North Texas there are two trees that come to mind with white blooms. It is either the North Texas Native, Mexican Plum, or Bradford Pear tree. Although beautiful in the spring we do not recommend planting Bradford pear trees due to them being prone to breakage and highly susceptible to fireblight.

Oak wilt is an infectious disease caused by a fungus (Bretziella fagacearum*). All oaks (genus Quercus) are susceptible to oak wilt, but different species may react differently to the fungus. Oak wilt is a vascular disease, and infects the whole tree, even if only one part is symptomatic. As the fungus spread through the tree, it blocks the transmission of nutrients to the canopy, causing the characteristic “wilt,” or dieback. Learn more about oak wilt prevention here.

Short answer: “yes.” Synthetic grass will eventually kill your tree. To understand why read our blog here.

Unfortunately, most turf grass is not bred to live in harmony with large trees, and trees often find themselves in competition for resources with surrounding grass. In many cases, homeowners have to choose between uniform turf coverage and tree health. To understand why read our blog here.

While it is possible to trim a tree’s canopy to increase the amount of light that reaches the ground below we do not recommend trimming away a large section of the trees canopy because this will eventually lead to tree decline and death. To understand why trees need leaves and how reducing a trees canopy is harmful to their health please read our blog here.

If a tree’s leaves become pale green or yellow, and stay that way, something is preventing the tree from generating enough chlorophyll. Depending on the tree species it may have chlorosis.

Once a tree has been removed you won’t be able to plant another tree in that same spot immediately, and should wait for a few years. Issues can arise in the new tree for multiple reasons; roots from previous tree impeding growth of new tree, soil stripped of nutrients from former tree, disease or insect that killed the former tree could still be present in the soil and infect the new tree.

Restoration pruning done in tandem with a Tree Health Care plan will achieve the best results post storm damage.

The  goal of restoration pruning is to help reduce the likelihood of limb or tree failure, increase vigor, and long-term structure. Restoration is a multi visit process that can not be remedied in one visit. To ensure healthy progress an ISA certified arborist will make at minimum annual assessments and may come more depending on the tree. 

Each tree will have a unique set of variables to work with and progress can take up to 10 years to see full results with some trees never regaining prior damage status. Arborists will determine viability at each assessment and update treatment plans as needed. 

Palm “trees” (are actually more closely-related to grass than trees) are not adapted to cold weather and will die if freezing occurs. To learn more read our blog here.

Removals and trims are priced by work necessary. Given that we have several crews that range in size and manpower, time on-site can fluctuate.
