Tree Services in Austin, Texas
Trees in Austin and the nearby areas face constant challenges from the Texas heat and unpredictable weather patterns. Even the toughest trees — including live oak, cedar elm and Texas ash — sometimes struggle with the area’s clay soil conditions. When your trees battle disease or require regular maintenance, the right tree care can make the difference between a beautiful landscape and a costly removal.
Good Guys Tree Service has provided reliable services to the Austin area for over 25 years, from trimming and preventive health treatments to emergency storm cleanup and complete removal. Our knowledge of the area’s climate and experience dealing with all types of species allow us to deliver practical, cost-effective solutions that meet your needs.
Professional Services in Austin and the Surrounding Region
Good Guys Tree Service has an ISA-certified arborist on staff in Austin with Tree Risk Assessment credentials and Texas Oak Wilt certifications who can handle nearly any issue. Although many tree service companies offer basic trimming services, our professionals understand how trees respond to different techniques and how to treat minor concerns before they become expensive problems.
Examples of the specific services we offer include:
Tree Trimming and Pruning for Austin Homes and Businesses
Pruning trees properly requires perfect timing and using proper techniques that help prevent disease and long-term damage. Our trimming and pruning services include:
- Thinning: We can selectively remove interior branches to reduce wind resistance and allow more sunlight to reach the lower limbs without changing the tree’s overall structure.
- Selective trimming and pruning: Our tree care professionals can remove dead branches, water sprouts and crossing points to prevent pest problems and potential damage caused by falling limbs during storms.
Tree Care
We specialize in diagnosing and treating disease with proven injection treatments that protect and preserve the beauty of your landscape. Our team can handle:
- Disease diagnosis: Austin trees commonly suffer from chlorosis, oak wilt and bacterial infections that show up as yellowing leaves or dieback. We can identify the specific issue and recommend the most effective solutions.
- Injection treatments: For trees with nutrient deficiencies, we inject the trunks with minerals that go straight to the tree’s vascular system, producing noticeable results in as little as four weeks.
Tree Removal in Austin
Sometimes removal is the safest and most practical option for dead, diseased or structurally compromised trees. Our professionals provide removal services that handle even the most complex jobs safely and efficiently.
- Permits: Austin requires permits for removing certain protected trees, and we handle the paperwork with the City Arborist Program so you stay compliant.
- Safe dismantling: Large tree removals near homes require specialized preparation and rigging techniques. Our crew uses ropes and pulleys when needed to bring down sections without damaging your property.
Deep Root Fertilization
When city trees don’t receive the nutrients they need to flourish naturally, we offer two methods that enable fertilizer to travel directly to the roots:
- Soil injection: We inject slow-release fertilizer directly into the root zone in a grid pattern every 2 to 3 feet under the canopy at a 4- to 6-inch depth, where feeder roots absorb the most nutrients.
- Mycorrhizae enhancement: Our fertilizer formulas promote beneficial fungi that help trees absorb water and nutrients more effectively, especially during dry weather.
