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.

Generally fall and winter are the best times to trim trees. Depending on the species of tree that may not be true. You can get more detailed info about when to prune here.

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

We offer wide range of services including Arborist Services, Tree Removal, Tree Trimming, Tree Health Care, Consulting, Tree Planting, and Stump Grinding, to name a few.

A person who cares for trees. We are proud to call ourselves “tree surgeons,” and are dedicated to providing the best tree care by having a team of individuals with different specialties and responsibilities.

Our team includes ISA Certified Arborists who evaluate your tree care needs, TDA Licensed Applicators who perform our Tree Health Care treatments, Climbers and Groundsmen who expertly execute trimming and tree removal, and customer service professionals who ensure that communications among all parties happen seamlessly and efficiently.

At Texas Tree Surgeons, our team of ISA Certified Arborists offers full-service tree care services throughout the DFW metroplex – for both commercial and residential customers.

We have a full team of Certified Arborists ready to help, many of whom are also Oak Wilt Certified and TRAQ (tree risk assessment) Qualified. Our climbers and crew members are all highly skilled, and strictly adhere to the guidelines set by TCIA and ISA.

We are completely insured and bonded business, so you have nothing to worry about.

We do free estimates for tree trimming and removal. We only charge if a customer requires a consult or a report.

We will not sell something a tree does not need. Sometimes the best advise is to do nothing. Best practice is to care for trees over time and to provide our customers information and options for future care.

If you are in need for an arborists consultation for evaluating a trees health when viewing new property we are happy to help for a fee. These fees cover time and effort of an experienced licensed professional. You can learn more about this service here.

You can reach us in several ways.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We have been using their semi-annual tree treatment service for several years now. I think our 30 year old oak is looking great, even after these last few summers. They are professional, great to deal with, and I think a great value for a valuable asset.

Very happy with their service. Filled out a form online over the weekend and included pictures, they responded the same day and let me know the process. Came out a few days later to assess, then emailed me a quote. Pricing was very reasonable for the size of the tree. Let them know I wanted to move forward and they came out the following week and cut it down. All of this was done without any need for me to take off work, which was a huge plus for me. Will certainly use them in the future and highly recommend.

The arborist evaluated what needed to be trimmed on our huge live oak tree in the front yard plus some other trees in the back. The crew came out on time and got right to work. They did a tremendous job trimming things as I wanted. They completely cleaned up all the branches and debris. The crew was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend them.

We had a great experience with Texas Tree Surgeons and will definitely use them again. We have three very large Red Oak trees, and after having some sizable limbs fall, we knew it was time to have them professionally evaluated and trimmed. We received three quotes, and Texas Tree Surgeons was within about 8% of the lowest. They weren't the cheapest, but after talking with the team, we felt much more comfortable with their knowledge and approach, and that was easily worth the small difference in price. What impressed us most was that they didn't just look at the trees from the ground and start cutting. They evaluated which limbs actually needed to come down and considered the health and stability of the tree before making those decisions. They recommended leaving some branches that were healthy and weren't likely to create problems, while removing others where they found damage or rot. It felt like we were paying for knowledgeable tree care, not simply someone to cut branches. The actual work was just as impressive. They arrived with a well-organized crew, completed the job in about two hours, and hauled away everything they trimmed. Considering the size of the trees and limbs they were working with, we were impressed with how efficiently they handled the job and left everything cleaned up afterward. We are very happy with the results and would recommend Texas Tree Surgeons without hesitation, especially for anyone with large, mature trees where proper care really matters.
Response from the owner:We deeply appreciate you taking the time to leave a detailed review and experience with our team. Our ISA certified arborists enjoy taking the time in sharing their deep knowledge in tree care and advising whats best for you and your trees. Our goal is to always leave trees looking naturally beautiful and structurally strong. We are so glad you were satisfied with work that was done. We ❤️🌳 and happy customers!

The Texas Tree Surgeons team is exceptional!!! Sage I come out a couple of months ago to assess our tree health And everything that she had recommended work to perfection. I had overwatered a tree during the summer drought and the tree died. The team came out and planted a new massive 65 gallon tree and it has brought life back to our backyard! We look forward to having more trees planted with you all in the future!!!
Response from the owner:Nothing makes us happier than planting more trees. Our urban forest needs it! We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with Sage and that we were able to bring some beauty and life back to your yard with a new tree.

Excellent, professional job of trimming my 2 live oaks and 1 red oak! Steve and the crew were very attentive to the specific limbs to be removed and how much the canopy should be raised.
