How do I know if a tree on my property needs trimming?

Common signs are dead or hanging limbs, branches touching the roof or power service, crowded or crossing branches, and heavy growth over the house. A quick on-site look is the best way to know. We assess the whole tree before recommending any cuts.

Is it better to trim or remove a damaged tree?

It depends on how much of the tree is sound. A tree with a few broken limbs can often be pruned. A tree with a failing trunk, major root damage or heavy decay may be unsafe to keep. We look at the structure and explain both options before you decide.

What happens to the stump after a tree is removed?

A stump can be ground below the surface so you can replant or resod the area. The grinding leaves wood chips, which we can leave for mulch or haul away. Tell us what you plan to do with the space and we will recommend the right depth.

What residential tree service covers

Residential tree service is hands-on care for the trees around your home. Optimum Tree Service trims, removes and grinds out trees and stumps for Houston-area homeowners, and gives you a written estimate before any work begins.

Tree trimming

Trimming removes dead or damaged limbs, clears roofs, driveways and sightlines, and improves a tree's structure so it handles Gulf Coast storms better. We look at the whole tree before cutting, because how much to remove depends on species, age and condition.

Tree removal

Some trees are dead, leaning, storm-damaged or too close to a structure to keep safely. We plan the access, protect the property, lower the tree in sections where needed, and haul away the debris.

Stump removal

Stump grinding frees up your yard for lawn, a path or a new planting. We grind below grade and leave the wood chips, or haul them off if you prefer.

Plant health care

If a tree is thinning, dropping leaves early, or showing fungus or pest damage, an inspection comes before any treatment. The goal is to find the cause first, then decide what the tree actually needs.

Common trees in Houston yards

Live oak, post oak, Shumard oak, pecan, bald cypress, crape myrtle, loblolly pine and sweetgum are all regular jobs for our crews.
