Common warning signs include heavy one-sided canopy leaning toward a structure, large dead limbs ("widow-makers") still attached up high, cracks or splits at branch unions, mushroom or fungal growth at the base, fresh lean after a storm, and exposed or rotting roots. The trickiest ones still look mostly alive but are quietly compromised. We cover this in detail in our dangerous tree guide — and we'll come out for a free on-site assessment if you're unsure.

Stump grinding uses a grinder to chip the stump down several inches below grade — fast, clean, and lets you re-sod or replant over the spot. The root system stays in the ground and breaks down naturally over time. Full stump removal physically extracts the stump and the major root ball, which leaves a larger hole that needs backfilling but is sometimes necessary if you're putting a structure, hardscape, or tree in the same spot. We offer both — pick the one that fits the plan for that piece of yard.

Yes — full clean-up is included on every job. We haul off the wood and debris, rake the ground, and leave the property neater than we found it. You shouldn't have to deal with a mess after we leave.

For most Houston hardwoods (live oak, post oak, pecan, red oak), late winter through very early spring is ideal — the tree is dormant, structure is visible without leaves, and disease pressure is lower. Live oaks especially benefit from being pruned outside the active oak-wilt transmission window (roughly February through June). That said, dead, broken, or dangerous limbs can be removed any time of year, and we recommend pre-storm trimming before hurricane season starts on June 1.

Yes — landscape design and installation are part of what we do. We combine greenery, hedges, entry plantings, and the larger tree work to transform a yard into a backyard oasis. Many of our clients start with a tree project and then ask us to handle the surrounding landscape too. See the gallery for examples.

Cost depends on the size of the tree, how close it is to the house or power lines, whether the crew can drive equipment up to it, the condition of the wood, and whether stump grinding is included. Because each job is different, we don't quote sight-unseen — the on-site estimate is free, and you'll get a clear written number before any work starts.

For free estimates we typically respond within 24 hours. For active emergencies — a tree on a house, a tree blocking a driveway, a leaning tree after a storm — we move you up the schedule and respond as fast as the day allows. Same-day service is often possible during normal business hours.
