What We Do
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Smart trimming keeps your trees strong, healthy, and beautiful. Our certified arborists use selective pruning methods to reduce overgrowth, prevent disease, and promote balanced structure without over-cutting.
Whether you need trimming for heritage live oaks in Tarrytown or structured canopy work in Hyde Park, we follow ISA best practices and Austin's tree preservation ordinances at every job.

Oak Wilt Treatment
Specialized treatment for oak wilt, Austin's most destructive tree disease. Our licensed pesticide applicators provide certified oak wilt management in compliance with city ordinances.
Levi Williams holds Texas Dept. of Agriculture Pesticide License #0933008 — enabling legally compliant fungicide injection and root barrier installation. We also advise on pruning timing to stop root-graft spread before it starts.

Stump Grinding
We grind stumps below the surface so you can reclaim your yard, prevent regrowth, and prep for replanting. Leftover stumps can attract pests and create safety hazards.
Cameron Askew, ISA Certified Arborist #TX-5146A and our stump grinding lead, brings 7+ years of tree care experience and handles every stump project across Central Texas with precision and full site cleanup.

Tree Fertilization
Our deep-root fertilization service delivers essential nutrients directly into the soil, improving resilience, growth, and resistance to drought or disease.
Austin's urban heat island effect stresses trees in ways suburban soils don't. Our ISA arborists calibrate fertilization programs to your tree species, soil condition, and the specific microclimates of your Austin neighborhood.
