Tree workShort answer
Tree work on Houston's north side falls into six families: storm and emergency calls, planned removals, trimming and pruning, stumps and roots, tree health and planting, and land work. Storm calls are answered 24/7 and handled first; everything else is walked, scoped in writing and booked for a set day.
Storm & Emergency
When the wind has already done the damage
These are the calls that come in at night. A tree on the roof, a trunk across the only driveway, a limb hung up over the back door. The first visit makes things safe, and the full cleanup follows in daylight, when every piece can be rigged. Hurricane prep sits here too: the cheapest storm call is the one you never make.
Tree Removal
Taking a tree down on purpose
Planned removals come in every size, from a dead tallow by the fence to a loblolly towering over two roofs. The method changes with the yard: open ground lets a tree be felled whole, a tight lot means sectioning it down on ropes, and a landlocked pine may need a crane. Palms, tallows and bamboo get their own pages because each comes out differently.
Trimming & Pruning
Cuts that keep a tree, and the house, in good shape
Good pruning removes what is dead, crowded or in the way, and leaves the tree's shape alone. Oaks, palms and crape myrtles each need their own approach, and limbs over a roof or near the service drop need clearance cuts sized to the house. Young trees and hedges are here as well, since the right cut early saves a big one later.
Stumps & Roots
What happens below the cut
Most stumps are ground below the soil line in place, which is quick and leaves grindings to rake in. When a footing, slab or new planting needs the ground clear, the stump and root ball come out instead. Root pruning with a barrier panel keeps a tree you want from working on the foundation next to it.
Tree Health & Planting
Checks and care before anything gets cut
Not every worrying tree needs a saw. A risk assessment tells you which trees can reach the house and how they are holding up. Cabling saves some split crotches, soil and root zone work helps stressed trees recover, and beetle checks catch a failing pine early. Permit help and new plantings round out the list.
Land & Property
Acreage, brush and bigger sites
Around our Spring office, lots along Plum Creek Drive average well over an acre, and on land like that the work is measured in ground rather than trees. We clear building pads and fence lines, mulch yaupon and tallow thickets in place, and cut vines and underbrush by hand where a machine will not fit. HOAs, property managers and builders get scheduling and tree protection plans.

On the job
How every job on this list gets done
A written scope first
What comes down, what stays, the stump plan and the haul-off, in writing before work starts.
Rigging picked for the yard
Felling, roping down in sections or a crane, chosen by what sits under the tree.
A raked-out finish
Brush chipped, wood hauled and the lawn raked before the crew leaves the street.
Start with what you can see: a tree on something is a storm call, a tree you want gone is a removal, and limbs in the way are trimming. If it is unclear, describe it on the phone.
Yes. A removal, a trim on the tree next to it and the stump grind are often written into one scope and done in the same visit, which saves a second trip with the chipper.
Both. Most of our work is on homes, and HOAs, apartments, retail sites and builders get their own scheduling, documentation and tree protection plans.
Storm calls go to the front of the line and start with a make-safe visit. Planned removals, trimming and land work are walked first and booked for a set day.
Not sure which job it is?
Ring us any hour and describe the tree. A crew lead will tell you what it needs and set a time to walk it.
