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.
TREE SUPPORT SERVICES
Depending on the size of a tree there can be multiple cables in addition to bracing to support the weight. Each tree is different, and not all trees are candidates for tree support systems due to their structure.

OAK WILT TREATMENT
As oak wilt is a systemic, vascular disease, the most effective treatments consist of injecting the infected trees with a fungicidal chemical. The only currently recommended fungicide is Alamo®, a formulation of the fungicide propiconazole. The fungicide is administered through holes drilled in the root flare of the infected tree and should only be applied by Texas Department of Agriculture Licensed Applicators.
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.
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.
TDA LICENSED
Our technicians are TDA licensed and use science based treatment when implementing a Tree Health Care plan. These plans are put in place under the guidance of an ISA Certified Arborist.
DIAGNOSING TREE
Our ISA Certified Arborists use several different types of tools to help them assess a trees health. The arborist is "sounding" the tree. Different sounds can indicate areas of decay or other defects.
FERTILIZATION
Our Tree Health Care Programs are designed to deliver the right nutrients at the right times throughout the year. We use the highest quality soil conditioners and fertilizers that are delivered at critical points throughout the seasons to optimize the growth and health of trees.
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.
STUMP REMOVAL
Our stump grinder drills down to 4-6″ below grade to effectively remove your stump and exposed roots.
INSPECTING FOR POSSIBLE DECAY
Sometimes issues with a tree aren't clearly visible on the outside so an arborist will need to inspect the interior. An arborist does this by probing with a small knife to see how extensive the decay in a region of a tree is. Arborists are able to use this information along with other signs to determine if there are potential structural issues or possible increased chances for failure.
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.
STUMP GRINDING
When the machine has finished grinding, you will be left with a mulch pile where there once was a stump. This mulch pile is often 20-30% larger than the pre-existing stump.
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.
FULL CLEAN-UP
Our goal after we do any service is leave your yard looking better than how we found it. After a stump has been ground the mulch will be used to back fill the hole. Remaining debris will be swept together in one neat pile. If you need us to remove any excess mulch we can haul it away for an additional fee.
