Waller CountyShort answer
Waller County, whose seat at Hempstead sits twenty-five miles northwest of Houston, runs from rolling timber in the north to coastal prairie in the south. Pines lead in the northeast and pecans grow on the Brazos River bottom. So the work swings between acreage and pine jobs up north and big pecan and oak trimming near the river.
Local conditions
Brazos bottoms, prairie homesites and pine timber in Waller County
The Brazos River forms the county's western boundary, and its bottoms hold fertile alluvial soil where pecans grow. A mature pecan carries long, heavy limbs, and deadwood high in a crown that size is usually the first thing a storm brings down onto a drive or a barn roof. A deadwood and thinning trim takes that weight out before it falls.
Head north and the land rises into rolling timber, with pines taking over in the northeast part of the county. Sandy loam covers the prairie region and black waxy soil holds a small southern area. When a tall pine starts leaning toward a house after a wet spell, taking it down in sections keeps the drop zone off the roof.
Across the southern prairie, the trees on a property are often a handful of live oaks, elms or cottonwoods planted around the house. They are the only shade for a long way, so we look hard at trimming before anyone talks about removal.

Yes. We climb or rig the crown, take out deadwood and thin crowded limbs so wind passes through. Long limbs over barns, fences or drives get shortened back to sound wood rather than stubbed off.
We do. We walk the tract first to mark the trees worth keeping, then open the pad, drive or fence line. Brush can be mulched in place or chipped and hauled, depending on how the land will be used.
That is your call. On acreage, many owners keep the logs for firewood and want the brush mulched or chipped on site. On a homesite, we usually chip the brush and haul the wood so the yard is clear.
Start with anything tall within reach of the house: pines in the northeast, big pecans near barns and drives, and lone prairie oaks over the roof. Deadwood and cracked forks are the first things to fail in wind.
