The Importance of Tree Trimming
Proper tree trimming is an essential element of overall tree care and long-term health of your tree. Our ISA Certified Arborists® are experts at identifying the pruning needs of any tree.
Trees are an investment, and it’s important to take proper care of them to ensure they stay healthy, thrive in their urban environment, and add value to your property for years to come. Regular tree trimming allows us to help you do just that, all while helping to avoid potential issues down the road.
Pruning young trees helps to establish a beneficial limb structure enabling your tree to grow in a way that prolongs its lifespan and helps to keep your tree healthy.
Pruning more established trees helps to allow for more light and air to pass through the crown, this can help mitigate any potential storm damage and benefits both the health of the tree and any vegetation growing underneath the shade of the canopy.
There are many risks associated with incorrect pruning or trimming practices, the most severe being a reduction in the tree’s lifespan. Often when a tree is pruned incorrectly it is forever changed, making any attempt to “fix it” costly and frustrating.Getting your tree assessed by our team and trimmed by one of our skilled crews is the best way to ensure that your tree lives a long and healthy life.
We Adhere to ANSI Guidelines
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has set forth guidelines for tree pruning and trimming that we adhere to in order to help further ensure practices that are safe and in the best interest of your trees. These standards for tree pruning are comprised of 4 sections; crown cleaning, thinning, raising, and reducing (only performed when appropriate).
Dead and Damaged Wood Removal (previously known as crown cleaning)
Removal of dead, dying, diseased, and structurally unsound branches within the crown.
Raising the Tree
Raising your tree grants enough space for the vertical clearance necessary to walk underneath the tree, this is frequently required to be within city codes.
Selective Trimming of the Tree (previously known as thinning)
Selective trimming of the tree is the artful removal of living plant material from dense areas within your tree, this helps to reduce weight and allows for wind to pass through your tree more safely.
We proudly adhere to these standards because doing so sets us apart, and helps us to keep the trees in our community strong and healthy. Texas Tree Surgeons takes pride in a job well done. After we have completed your tree pruning, we will happily haul away the debris we created in the process in one of our trailers or chipper trucks. If you would prefer to have any of the wood either stacked on your curb, or left for your use (i.e. firewood) just let us know, we are happy to help. It is our goal to leave your trees in beautiful condition, and your yard in better shape than when we first arrived.

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.
ARBORIST AND CREW WORKING TOGETHER
We hire only the most experienced climbers to trim trees, and all our employees train under a ISA Certified Arborist.
BEST TIME TO TRIM
Best practice is to trim certain trees during dormant periods, making fall and winter generally the best time. To learn more about best practices for when you should trim your tree click here.
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.
SMALL SPACE WORK
Trimming and removing trees in small spaces takes extra time and extra care. Each piece must be cut and lowered with exact precision to avoid damage to property.
TYING OFF LIMBS FOR SAFETY
When trimming trees over structures, larger limbs need to be tied off so they do not damage the roof or the structure itself.
CRAPE MYRTLE TRIMMING
Crape Myrtles are beautiful and hardy trees when cared for properly; topping Crape Myrtles is a bad practice and not recommended.
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.
THE RIGHT-SIZED CREW FOR EVERY JOB
We work with crews of different sizes to make sure that every job is done safely, quickly, and efficiently.
TREE TRIMMING
Our experienced climbers safely climb into the tree canopies to properly trim branches.
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.
