Description of our services
Tree maintenance is an essential, routine practice that is key to preserving tree health and minimizing long-term tree care expenses. Proper maintenance of a tree's size, structure, and condition can be effectively managed, reducing overall costs.
When a member of our expert team visits your property, they will assess the specific needs of your trees and collaborate with you to achieve your desired goals.
We adhere to the American National Standards for Tree Care operations (ANSI A300), industry standards established by the Tree Care Industry Association. These standards are designed to ensure that tree care companies maintain a superior level of care, promoting tree health, crew member safety, and customer satisfaction.
In the context of tree maintenance, our services include:
Cleaning Out: This term describes the selective pruning process used to remove various factors that may negatively impact a tree's health, such as dead, diseased, infested, rubbing, declining, and detached and/or broken branches. Our goal is to enhance tree vitality and promote a safe and aesthetically pleasing environment for our clients.
Clearance: Depending on the time interval between maintenance, it is advisable to ensure that all structures have adequate clearance from the tree to prevent any potential damage to either the tree or the structures.
Directional Pruning: This technique involves selectively removing branches to guide or discourage growth in a particular direction, promoting a desired tree structure and appearance.
Raising: Raising is the term used to describe pruning branches to provide vertical clearance below the tree's crown. This is often done to enhance safety and aesthetics in the surrounding area.
Reduction Cuts: A reduction cut is a pruning technique that removes the larger of two or more branches or stems, or one or more co-dominant stems, down to a live lateral branch. Typically, at least one-third of the diameter of the stem or branch being removed is cut. This helps manage the size and structure of the tree.
Removal Branch Cut: A removal branch cut is a pruning cut that eliminates the smaller of two branches at a union or a parent stem. This cut is made without cutting into the branch bark ridge or branch collar or leaving a stub, ensuring a clean and healthy removal.
Restoration: Restoration pruning involves pruning to redevelop the structure, form, and appearance of trees that have been previously topped or damaged, with the goal of restoring their health and aesthetics.
Structural Development Pruning: This technique focuses on pruning to influence the orientation, spacing, growth rate, strength of attachment, and ultimate size of branches and stems. It is a crucial method for guiding the proper growth and structure of a tree.
Thinning: Thinning is characterized by selective pruning to reduce the density of branches and foliage. This approach enhances air circulation and light penetration within the tree canopy, promoting overall tree health and vitality.

Firewood
We exclusively offer a selection of four premium firewood types for sale: Oak, Mesquite, Pecan, and Ash.
The recommended burning practices for Oak, Ash, Pecan, and Mesquite firewood are as follows:
1. **Oak:** Oak is a hardwood with excellent burning characteristics. It's best used for heating because it provides high heat output and burns slowly. It's a good choice for long, sustained fires in a fireplace or wood-burning stove. Oak is also suitable for smoking and grilling due to its mild flavor.
2. **Ash:** Ash is another hardwood that's highly regarded for its burning qualities. It burns evenly and produces a good amount of heat. Ash firewood is known for its low moisture content, making it easier to ignite. It's a great choice for heating and can be used in both fireplaces and stoves.
3. **Pecan:** Pecan firewood is prized for its pleasant aroma and is often used for smoking meat. It's not typically used for heating because it has a lower heat output compared to Oak or Ash. However, if you appreciate its unique aroma, it can be used in a fireplace for ambiance.
4. **Mesquite:** Mesquite is often chosen for grilling and smoking due to its strong, distinctive flavor. While it can produce a lot of heat, it tends to burn quickly and can lead to a hotter, shorter fire. It's not commonly used for extended heating in a fireplace but can be used for shorter, intense fires.
Keep in mind that when using any firewood, it's important to ensure the wood is properly seasoned to reduce moisture content, as burning wet wood can result in inefficient fires and the potential for creosote buildup in your chimney. Always follow safety guidelines when using firewood for heating or cooking.
