Tree Removal is recommended when a tree is dying, diseased, damaged, wounded, or will be damaged by new or continued construction. We can remove any size of tree at any stage. If a tree is unsafe to climb we will utilize the proper equipment to remove the tree safely. Our customers and employees safety are our number one priority. 

We also offer stump grinding which can be added to estimate. As well as, if you have stumps from previous removals you would like taken care we can do that with special pricing. We have select stump grinding days to accommodate. 

Oak trees in our area are susceptible to Oak Wilt. Oak wilt is caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum, is the most destructive disease affecting Live Oaks and Red Oaks in Central Texas. Most of the tree mortality results from tree to tree spread of the pathogen through interconnected or grafted root systems, once an oak with center becomes established. New infection  centers begin when beetles carry oak wilt fungal spores from infected red oaks to fresh, open wound on healthy oaks. Wounds include any damage caused by wind, hail, vehicles, construction, squirrels, birds or pruning. Research has shown that both oak wilt fungal mats on infected red oaks and insects that carry oak wilt spores are most prevalent in the spring. Below is a brief description of how you can reduce the risk of fungal spread when pruning.
