Why Should You Hire a Certified Arborist?
An arborist is a specialist in caring for trees. He understands the needs of trees and is trained to care for them properly. Our Arborists are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). This means they’ve passed a comprehensive exam, have at least three years of experience and take part in continuing education in arboricultural techniques.
I've heard that pruning oak trees can cause Oak Wilt- is that true?

Yes, the fungus can spread through open wounds, but it’s mostly spread via roots from tree to tree. Beetles and infected firewood also can transmit the fungus.

You should avoid wounding of oaks (including pruning) from February through June. People should prune from July through January. Our certified Oak Wilt Specialists can check your trees for infection. Regardless, it is always best to have professionals prune your oaks.

Do I need a permit to trim or remove any tree in Austin?
No. You can trim or remove some trees without a permit. Specific sizes and species of trees, referred to as Protected or Heritage Trees, are included in the regulations. You may be limited in removing other smaller ones, too. Our specialists can evaluate all your trees and tell you which ones are protected.
Why can't I trim my trees myself? How hard can it be?

A single mature tree can be worth $1,000 to $50,000, depending on its species, age, and locations. You can damage or even kill a tree if you don’t have the knowledge and experience to trim it properly. Even bad pruning of young trees can set them back for years. ISA Certifed arborists are trained in the latest techniques and have the tools to trim your trees correctly.

Help! My tree is dying, and I don't know why!
Disease, soil damage, and drought can all cause tree decline. The best answer is to have a Certified arborist come out and look at your tree. We will give you an expert opinion and propose a treatment plan if we can save the tree. If your tree is genuinely dying or is damaged and dangerous, we will recommend safe removal.
